All The Queens Men collaborate with communities of all shapes, sizes, and identities to produce transformative creative experiences that champion equality, social health, and human connection.
Based in Melbourne, Australia, All The Queens Men is an independent arts organisation founded by award-winning performance artists Tristan Meecham and Bec Reid. The two met on the dance floor, immediately shared a tequila shot, and have been collaborating ever since; united in their belief that artistic community collaboration, bound by strong partnerships, can activate positive social change.
ATQM has become a leading creative voice within the LGBTI+ community nationally and internationally, most specifically for championing the rights of LGBTI+ elders. The Company’s practice, expressed through projects such as The Coming Back Out Ball, LGBTI+ Elders Dance Club and Rainbow Reviews, enables LGBTI+ communities improved access, not only to arts experiences, but to broader community health and social services.
There is so much work to be done and we can’t forget our LGBTI+ elderly just because we’re young. Our community was built by those who came before and now they need our support. – Lizzi, LGBTI+ elder.
