I’ve made a zine for display at the STRAP UP transmasc erotic art exhibition and performance night on 23rd October at SEESAW in Manchester. It’s a satirical dystopian sci-fi piece, that takes place in a near-future datacentre which runs on human bodyminds instead of graphics cards. Sadly, I can’t go to the event myself, but it looks like an incredible night!

I’m running a workshop with Studio Voltaire for trans folks on hand-making personal online archives of our activism, advocacy, and resilience. I’ll be joining remotely, and Studio Voltaire will provide support to folks in person.
I’m very passionate about hand-coded websites, I think it’s intrinsically a beautiful thing to just edit HTML and CSS and make things happen on a web page.
We’re currently hard at work preparing our next show in the Intrapology series. You should join us for the live online interactive performance on 20th July! An audience member at our last performance said, “there isn’t another show that hits in the way this one does. Y’all are really speaking raw necessary messiness of existence and our current moment.”

This episode was co-written with Sarah Davis-Reynolds, the co-creator and game designer of ‘Dungeons & Dragons: The Twenty-Sided Tavern’, the officially-licensed D&D interactive stage show, currently running off-Broadway in NYC.
It’s been an absolute joy to work with Sarah, the script really sparkles and it’s been wonderful to see it brought to life in rehearsals.
Register to see the next episode of Intrapology, live and online on 17th April! Details on the Intrapology website.
##Softly as in a Morning Sunrise##
Written by Zoyander Street and Sarah Davis Reynolds. Starring Xander Graves, Fadumo Hassan, Caitlin Magnall-Kearns, and D. Squinkifer
Can you be friends with your ex, even if you now live in different worlds? After spending years alone in their own pocket universe, Iris receives an unexpected message from their ex, Paris.
The Photographer's Gallery have very kindly posted the full video of a panel discussion between myself and other artists who contributed to INCITE: Digital Arts and Activism. There's some great stuff here, including Joseph DeLappe's critical encounters with memorials, Martin Zeilinger's wry "proof of cake" system, and Maja Zeco's reflections on islamophobia and European identity.
I stop faffing with technology and start actually talking at 43:10

I'm developing a new episode of Intrapology, with the support of a couple of fantastic scratch performance nights. It's a karaoke jukebox musical with parody lyrics chosen by the audience! You know, because making a live, interactive, online/hybrid show wasn't technically challenging enough already 🫠
One of the scratch performances is part of ASSEMBLE festival at Streatham Space Project (LONDON!) on 4th May, alongside other short test performances about migration, heritage, and home.

I'm excited to be taking Intrapology to the Worlds in Play conference at Arizona State University this January, presenting a performance of Assigned Earth at Birth - I'll be there in person, both actors will join by video call, and the audience will shape the performance live through the app that Squinky and I made. I'm really looking forward to showing and discussing this project with an audience specialising in the meeting point between theatre and games, and learning from what other people are doing in this space.
Next week I'll be on a couple of panels for Sightlines Festival, an online week-long festival exploring more topics around performance and wellbeing, with a specific emphasis on Bradford and the North of England. Image of schedule for Sightlines Festival - screen reader friendly details are available on sightlinesfestival.co.uk I'm on the Friday 13th October 5pm panel on Neuroqueerness and Performance, and the Saturday 14th October 1pm Chronic Illness and Theatre panel.
I've very kindly been offered one of five spaces to pitch a project at Interactive Soup this September, at Theatre Deli Leadenhall. I'm going to pitch Intrapology, in the hope of winning some funding for the November performance of the pilot episode, 'Assigned Earth at Birth'. Intrapology is a weird project that I care a great deal about, and I'm grateful for these rare opportunities to perhaps reach the incredibly specific kind of person who would love neuroqueer interactive social constructivist sci-fi online theatre.
I'm thrilled to be working on an interactive play for the Social Model & More Festival at Theatre Delicatessen this November.
'Assigned Earth at Birth' is a live-digital hybrid, interactive sci-fi comedy about doomerism, neurodiversity / neuroqueerness, and the pain of living in a world that works against your survival.
Building on the test performance at Barnsley Live in March this year, 'Assigned Earth at Birth' will be the first episode of Intrapology, a new interactive speculative fiction series that I really, really want to make.

Cis Penance is currently included in a fantastic exhibition of queer games at Etc Galerie in Prague, created by No Fun Collective. They're organising an event this Saturday, which I'll be joining remotely.
I'm excited to be in conversation with Caroline Sinders this Saturday at Site Gallery, in the final event of their Digital Residency. Caroline's art research practice addresses the potentials and injustices of tech, with a focus on exploring liberatory alternatives to the extractive big data industry. Sign up here. Also, earlier that day, I'll be hosting another in-conversation event at Typeset, between author Tair Rafiq and Dr. David Hartley, co-founder of the Narratives of Neurodiversity Network.
This week I’m presenting work at the Dublin Fringe festival as part of the Fully Automated Luxury Gender Oasis by Trans Live Art Salon. I’m giving a reading of my chapter from the Queer Game Studies book on Friday, and I’m also exhibiting my interactive fiction piece “Elixir”. I’m super excited to be involved in a project that explicitly calls for utopian queer marxist world building! Here’s a piece in the Dublin Inquirer where they talk about it
Great news! The short film I made with a team as part of Transforming Cinema, Skeleton in a Beret, is being screened at the prestigious British Film Institute in London for the Flare LGBT festival. Details of the screening for this and a bunch of other fantastic films (I’ve seen Alice and Ayla and they’re both great) can be found on the BFI Flare website.
