In late November, Radiate Arts began planning the Queer Spotlight event following discussions with Storyhouse about participating in Storyhouse Queer 2025. The event was envisioned as a large-scale catwalk show, building upon the ongoing True Colours sewing sessions and extending an opportunity to a broader community to showcase and celebrate queer creatives, performers and offer an opportunity to those wanting to try something new.

​

The preparation phase included planning meetings, workshops, and rehearsals to ensure participants felt confident and prepared for the event. Two planning meetings provided a space for models, volunteers, and experienced performers to contribute and collaborate on ideas for production and stage management. These sessions upheld the collaborative ethos of Radiate Arts, providing a platform for participants to be at the centre of making the event.
