Queer Powerpoint (Now or Never)

A night of corporate presentations and personal optimisation… but queer.

Following spots at NONSTOP WKND in 2023, Queer PowerPoint returns with a one-night-only standalone show featuring some of Melbourne’s most fun, obtuse and downright obsessive speakers.

This experimental talks series brings together queer folks to explore and share an idea, current compulsion, or ongoing fascination using that most staid and ubiquitous of programming tools – Power Point.

Reclaiming and queering the corporate presentation from our straight capitalist overlords, co-creators Xanthe Dobbie and Harriet Gillies host this night of surprising stories, secret passions and starwipes.

Artists perform a unique, 10-minute performance lecture about…well, anything. The parameters? It must be queer-and accompanied by a Microsoft Powerpoint slideshow.

Revel in the current strangeness of a digital tool from a simpler time.

An onsite bar presented by Zinc will provide a range of drinks and nibbles available pre, post and during the evening.

Presented by Fed Square for Now or Never.
