    Run a showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show with participation opportunities - Short Term

      Since coming here, I've been wanting to organize a screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Back in the states at my undergraduate college, we used to host this every year and it would attract large crowds. My idea for this project would be in October to host a sex-positive event that culminates in screening the film in all its glory (a full shadow cast acting alongside the film and the audience participating and shouting along with the film). Before the film, we would host sex-positive games and have various student performances. And of course, we'd encourage everyone to come dressed up for the party. It could be a wonderful chance to not only have fun, but start conversations at the beginning of the year on sexual consent and the resources available on campus. Furthermore, it's a great social opportunity and one that should attract many students, especially within the LGBTQ+ community. We could host this in the SU bar or a similar venue like The In-between. For more information on Rocky Horror Screenings, I recommend this site which gives a good idea of what an event could look like: https://www.rockyhorror.com/participation/
