This fellowship will provide the foundational infrastructure for a new wave of trans-led research investigating the cultural tensions between cis (non-trans) regulation (otherwise termed 'cisgenderism') and trans self-determinism. The PI, as a trans woman and leading performance scholar, will provide the first major study of how the UK and Scottish government's Gender Recognition Act (GRA) consultations in 2017-20 impacted the commissioning, production, and reception of trans-led cultural practices. As one of many 'trans cultures', trans performance makers have been celebrated over the last decade for interrogating trans lived experiences through autobiographical works. Yet, many of these artists have noted a need to move beyond venue programming cultures that frame trans performance as principally educational (for cis people to learn about trans personal trauma). In response to this need, this fellowship asks what is 'transness' in performance beyond personal testimony? What makes a stage design 'trans-informed'? What does 'transness' afford as a cultural/political standpoint beyond gender identity? In investigating these positions, this fellowship will provide the foundational infrastructure for a 5-year legacy plan that centres trans and nonbinary experiences as vital to a fair and just society. In terms of timeliness, in the 20th anniversary year of the GRA this fellowship will assess the cultural impact of this legislation. Namely, the fellowship cites the Council of Europe (2021) report on combating hate against LGBTI people and its urgent call for trans-led creative practices in an era when - what the report describes as - 'anti-trans' policies are supported by the UK government. To investigate this critical period in UK political history, the first stage of the project will deliver new primary research on how trans artists have reacted to this shift. This will include interviews as well as commissioning new works to study how trans-led works are produced. The second stage will provide the PI with a mentoring programme from leading trans artists and academics to change how trans cultures are conceptualised in theatre and performance studies. The third stage will be to host public events and develop publications that platform 'glitch feminism' as one way of centring lived experiences that exceed strict categorization (such as race, gender, class, and sexuality). The project has been developed in collaboration with our partners Kings Head Theatre (KHT) (London), Tron Theatre (Glasgow) and Live Theatre (Newcastle) along with the Trans Learning Partnership (TLP) and Curious Arts. These partners are uniquely positioned to provide high impact routes to different regions of the UK for collecting and disseminating the project findings. The KHT has committed to a programme of queer and trans-led projects over the next 5-years. Their Associate Artists include The Queer House, which is the UK's leading queer only casting agency. Live Theatre is a leading producing theatre, and the Tron Theatre is a hub of experimental theatre. The TLP brings together the UK organisations at the forefront of trans wellbeing - Gendered Intelligence (GI), Mermaids, and the LGBT Foundation - and will connect the project with trans audiences interested in trans-led creativity. Curious Arts are a charity that champions LGBTQ+ cultures in the North East and leads the Queer Arts North Network, which brings together similar partners across the North of England including Trans Creative (Manchester) and Homotopia (Liverpool). The TLP and Curious will offer routes to impact LGBTQ+ orgs across the UK. Consequently, this project will deliver the first major study on the creative methods and techniques of glitching cis legal and social preferences that regulate trans self-determinism. The PI will collaborate with venues, work with trans and nonbinary artists, and host new events to develop new critical resources for artists and researchers.

该奖学金将为新的跨性别研究浪潮提供基础基础设施，该研究调查了顺式（非跨性别）调节（否则称为“ cisgenderism”）和反式自决主义之间的文化紧张局势。作为跨性别女性和领先的表现学者，PI将提供第一项有关英国和苏格兰政府在2017 - 20年的咨询（GRA）咨询的重大研究，从而影响了跨性别文化实践的调试，生产和接受。作为许多“变性文化”之一，在过去的十年中庆祝了跨性能制造商，以通过自传作品询问跨性别的生活经历。然而，这些艺术家中的许多人都指出，有必要超越场地编程文化，这些文化将跨性别的表现构成主要是教育意义的（供顺式人群学习跨性别的个人创伤）。为了应对这种需求，该奖学金询问表现超出个人证词的“跨性别”是什么？是什么使舞台设计“变形”？作为性别认同以外的文化/政治观点，“跨性别”有什么作用？在调查这些职位时，该奖学金将为一项为期5年的遗产计划提供基础基础设施，该计划将跨性别和非二进制经历以对公平和公正的社会至关重要。就及时性而言，在GRA的20周年纪念期间，该研究金将评估该立法的文化影响。也就是说，奖学金引用了欧洲理事会（2021年）关于对LGBTI人民的仇恨的报告，以及在一个时代的迫切呼吁对跨性别的创造性做法的迫切呼吁 - 该报告将其描述为 - 英国政府的“反交易”政策得到了支持。为了调查英国政治历史上的关键时期，该项目的第一阶段将对跨性别艺术家对这一转变的反应进行新的主要研究。这将包括访谈以及调试新作品，以研究如何生产跨性别的作品。第二阶段将为PI提供一项指导计划，包括跨性别艺术家和学者，以改变戏剧和绩效研究中的变速箱文化的概念性。第三阶段将是举办公共活动，并开发平台“小故障女权主义”的出版物，作为超越严格分类（例如种族，性别，阶级和性行为）的生活经验的一种方式。该项目是与我们的合作伙伴国王头剧院（KHT）（伦敦），特隆剧院（格拉斯哥）和现场剧院（纽卡斯尔）合作开发的，以及跨性别学习合作伙伴关系（TLP）和好奇的艺术。这些合作伙伴的位置是为了向英国不同地区提供高影响力的途径，以收集和传播项目发现。在接下来的5年中，KHT致力于制定酷儿和跨性别项目计划。他们的同学艺术家包括英国唯一的酷儿铸造机构的Queer House。现场剧院是一家领先的制作剧院，Tron Theatre是实验剧院的枢纽。 TLP将英国组织汇集到跨性别智慧（GI），美人鱼和LGBT基金会的最前沿，并将将该项目与对跨性别创造力感兴趣的跨性别受众联系起来。奇怪的艺术是一个慈善机构，倡导东北地区的LGBTQ+文化，并带领酷儿艺术北网络，该网络汇集了英格兰北部的类似合作伙伴，包括Trans Creative（Manchester）（曼彻斯特）和同性恋（Liverpool）（利物浦）。 TLP和好奇将提供影响整个英国LGBTQ+组织的路线。因此，该项目将对对跨性别自决主义的法律和社会偏好的创造方法和技术进行首次重大研究。 PI将与场地合作，与跨性别和非二元艺术家合作，并举办新的活动，为艺术家和研究人员开发新的关键资源。
