The Expression Stage
Musicians, Performers, Poets, Fools: an open space for anyone to come and share their talents, stage and voice workshops, open up to big performances in the evening!
Giuliana Fioretti
Expression Stage Mumma
Hi, I’m Giuliana (she/her). Together with a lovely team of skilled womxn I run the technical side of Womanfest. I feel my role is to help all artists, musicians, and workshop leaders to deliver the best experience possible, easily and smoothly.
This year for the first time I will also be holding the magic of the Expression Stage, hoping to organise a great entertainment program for our festival evenings… because after the hard work it’s always good to have a dance!
The Expression Stage is a platform for every womxn to bring their gift to the community. Singers, musicians, performers, actresses, poets, spoken word artists, will light up our nights. While during the day the space will hosts a variety of workshops and a regular lunchtime open mic, to give a chance also to the smaller gifts to be shared: you don’t have to have an hour-long set to get on stage, when it comes from the heart as much as one song in enough!
In my everyday life I work as a live sound engineer, technician and DJ. I’m also an advocate for the Bristol LGBTQ+ community, and it’s at my heart that trans women and non-binary afab people can feel welcomed into this magic space we are co-creating together.
I remember when I was booked last minute to work the first edition of Womanfest in 2018, I have to admit I was skeptical about women only spaces… mainly because I’ve had never experienced any before and wasn’t sure what to expect! I found the experience and the energy created so deeply inspiring, that in a few years time I was happily and proudly joining the new cooperative that now holds the gathering. Let's get together, we deserve it! :)
Offering: SATURDAY NIGHT DJ!
