16: Lucia August

Lucia August is a 72-year-old lesbian, plus-sized dancer and choreographer originating from the US and now making Scotland her home. She joins Jules during Pride season to share intimate stories and reflections celebrating inclusivity, coming out for the first time 50 years ago and pursuing our dreams.

How can we move forward when everything can feel so backwards? Lucia provides insight and experience to spread light, joy and informed positivity to help us bond, build and heal as a community going forward.

We also talk about what it means to be a 'Queer Elder', the value of queer friendship, soul families, honouring your experience and quantum queerness! Don't miss this special episode championing intergenerational connection and the value of centring queer elder perspectives.

You can see Lucia perform Tales from Your Queer Elder at the Edinburgh Fringe between August 1 - 16th August, 2025. Dates and tickets available via:
