Malborough Productions has relaunched its *New Queers on the Block* community development programme, with three £12,500 commissions available for LGBTQ+ performance artists. Since 2018, the scheme has supported the development of numerous queer performers, including Oozing Gloop, Malik Nashad Sharpe, Rachael Young, Harry Clayton-Wright and Subira Joy, across live art, theatre, dance, cabaret, film, spoken word and visual art.

Selected artists/groups will embark on a holistic 6-month development period with no public-facing outputs expected at the end. Creative director Tarik Elmoutawakil and executive director David Sheppeard said the scheme strives *“empower marginalised LGBTQ+ artists and producers”*, adding: *“* \[The programme\] *disrupts the capitalist origins of this way of working, breaking new ground and allowing artists and producers to determine for themselves their optimum conditions to thrive.”*

Applications are open until 4 November 2021\. Those interested can apply [online](https://newqueersontheblock.com/?ref=scenemag.co.uk).
