Abstract
This chapter presents the TransActing project as a deeply trans-inclusive practice within the creative and cultural sector in the UK and beyond. It articulates the ways that this project seeks to create opportunities for trans and non-binary people to access creative processes and networks. From this beginning, the project aimed to develop and deliver high quality trans-inclusive performer training with trans, non-binary and gender diverse participants and thus to nurture the creativity and talent of participants. Participants in the TransActing project described the experience of wanting to enter into these spaces but feeling a lack of confidence to do so. TransActing project participants described feeling vulnerable at the idea of trying to enter into these creative spaces and a perception that they were not accessible to them as trans people. In 2018, the TransArte Festival organisers based in Rio de Janeiro secured British Council funding to invite the TransActing project over to Brazil.
