TransAction Theatre

Manchester UK theatre charity creating 'performance from the periphery', questioning the boxes that divide and rule us, beyond binaries and borders, in politics of allegiance. TransAction creates innovative, transformative, cross-cultural queer performance about inclusion, equality, identity, intersectionality and empowerment. Joey Hateley is the Artistic Director, with the stage name The Gender Joker, who collaborates with marginalised artists to write, direct, devise and perform interdisciplinary, accessible multi-media work.
