See me perform on Nov 21!

I’m getting more and more excited (and more and more terrified!) as Trans Form draws near… Opening night is on Friday, December 11, and I hope to see you all there.

In the meantime, I wanted to invite all of you to see a piece from Trans Form at 7PM, Saturday, November 21, at Center on Halsted, as part of Night of Fallen Stars. From the Center on Halsted press release:

The evening celebrates and unites Chicago’s transgender community, while remembering the lives lost in gender-focused hate crimes. Transgender artists will perform music, dance, comedy, and poetry. Special appearance by Jaila Simms, the first Transgendered artist to win a reality series MTV/P. Diddy’s “Making His Band” Official member of Bad Boy’s “Dirty Money Crew.”

The event always has an interesting and entertaining mix of performers, and I’m proud to count myself among this years’ bunch.

If you won’t be able to make it to Night of Fallen Stars, you can still make it to Trans Form! Tickets are on sale now – more information, including discount codes, is available at http://fridaythang.com/trans-form

Trans Form

That’s the working title of the piece I’ll be putting up this December, an expansion of Ares and Aphrodite (video here and here). I’m currently a little overwhelmed (by it, by prepping for a work-in-progress showing in a few weeks, by my ‘real’ job, by family, and on, and on) but a bunch of work stuff gets finished this week so hopefully after the too-busy weekend I’ll be able to catch my breath.

Here’s a draft of the front of the postcard I’m working on with a graphic designer:

Trans Form postcard draft

It was inspired by the Ares and Aphrodite wordle I posted a while back, and I think I like the general concept. It needs a bit of work (and I’d love any feedback from y’all!) but I’m pretty sure it’s a workable idea.

I’m in such a bipolar mood about this performance, though: Something (like the postcard) will make me super-excited, but then I’ll get overwhelmed with all the work and feel like it’s just too much. I know that’s not true, but still…
