The People of Cabaret Residency at DTC's BLOOM Festival

"The People of Cabaret is an organisation formed by, and for, people of colour, dedicated to amplifying and uplifting our communities." says Miss Cairo, Director of The People of Cabaret.

"We have curated a selection of shows to platform a plethora of talented artists across multi disciplines within cabaret to dispute the claims that there aren’t enough artists of colour out there! 

We are here."

The People of Cabaret is a collective made of artists of colour who are dedicated to ensuring diversity and inclusion in the performing arts sector, by:

• Amplifying, celebrating and advocating for artists of colour

• Making space for, championing, nurturing and supporting artists of colour

 • Providing a network for artists of colour to connect and empower one another

Our vision is of a performing arts sector where people of colour are valued, recognised, uplifted, and celebrated as brilliant, vital, and important contributors to culture. We envisage a performing arts landscape where people of colour are given agency, empowerment and respect, and are not present as fetishised, tokenized, exoticised or objectified stereotypes. We envisage a performing arts ecology where people of colour are not subject to racism or colourism – both on and offstage.

We’re proud to showcase a lineup of amazing, beautiful and talented artists!
