More Information About Juggling the Layers of Gender
Description
<p>This is a must see weekend of new queer performance art work that crosses over all genders and sexual orientations in the largest sense of the word! </p> <p>As a way to bring out and celebrate the sideshow freak in all of us, the performances in Juggling the Layers of Gender stand beside the transgender community as allies. This event promises to transform onstage and within each audience member as an incredibly rare and powerful opportunity to see a diverse range of fierce performers from the vast corners of identity all coming together to creatively examine how gender roles are experienced and, therefore ultimately, personified and performed by us all.</p>
