Travis Alabanza is a writer, performer and theatre maker based in London, via Bristol. Their writing, performance and public discourse surrounding trans and Black identities has had them noted as one of the most prominent emerging trans voices in the arts and beyond. Alabanza's work has appeared on BBC Front Row, The Verb, and Metro; Alabanza themself has been listed in the Evening Standard as one of the 25 most influential Londoners under 25 and placed on the Dazed100 list. For stage, Travis's writing credits include Burgerz (Total Theatre Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival), which was voted one of The Guardian Readers Top Shows of The Year in 2019, and In Tandem, as part of the Paines Plough 2020 Autumn Festival The Place I Call Home, a project exploring experiences in relation to the pandemic across Europe.

Alabanza is sassy and witty... but the angry and intelligent script is also underscored with the real pain of exclusion, of being boxed in, of being trapped in a world where sexual and racial violence is prevalent and, too often, tolerated.
