A Festival dedicated to LGBTQ+ and Feminist interdisciplinary artists, choreographers and video-makers. Out-FRONT! premieres new works developed by artists who engage with Pioneers Go East Collective’s platform over 12 to 16 months. The festival brings together 25+ artists to share their work in a safe space. The intent is to share less-known stories, encourage artists to experiment with new performance modes, and build a nurturing environment with likely-minded artists.
The 2026 festival features world premieres by Ian Andrew Askew, Alexa Grae, Dominica Greene, Johnnie Cruise Mercer, Suzzanne Ponomarenko, Owen Prum, Sugar Vendil and Jo Warren and a US premiere by Norway-based artist Corentin JPM Leven. The festival will also include dance and experimental short films as part of the Out-FRONT! Film Series.
