YAAS! (Young Authentic & Social) has three free events coming up in Gosford furing the July school holidays, just a short stroll from the train station.
These events are for 12 to 18-year-old LGBTQIA+, First Nations and youth living with disability as well as all their mates and allies.
YAAS! Young Authentic and Social is an award-winning arts and culture program hosting social groups, creative workshops and celebrations.
The school holiday program kicks off on July 5 with Gosford’s own Elemental Arcade at Fun Haus Factory for an afternoon of trading card and video gaming.
Jump on the Nintendo Switch with Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, or learn how to play Cardfight!! Vanguard!
Everyone is welcome and no gaming experience is necessary.
Next up is the LGBTQ Performance Workshop, facilitated by local LGBTQ artists Carlee Heise and Luca Carter.
Join them on July 7 at Fun House Factory, Central Coast’s Contemporary Multi-arts Centre, for a chance to get creative and express yourself with other diverse youth through theatre games, character exploration, story-telling and drag.
This workshop is suitable for all or no experience levels to get out of their comfort zone in a safe space.
Finishing the school holiday program with a bang will be a massive music video shoot July 12 at Fun Haus Factory.
Feature in a music video shoot for a new song written and produced by local young artist Ashton, a finalist in the eMergent Sounds competition through Central Coast Council.
Their song Expectations (Y.A.A.S) is all about being your authentic self and celebrating your beautiful differences.
Don’t want to be in front of the camera?
That’s okay, there will be plenty to help with behind the scenes on the day; holding equipment, making the sets, lights etc
All events will be free and held at the Fun Haus Factory at 124 Donnison St, Gosford.
