No Limits On Creativity

What I love about the arts is that there's no limits on creativity. I have personally seen people's change right before my eyes when he/she creates something from their own imagination.

Last week I performed with a group of about twenty transgender and non conforming people of all ages at the Brick Theater in Brooklyn. The name of the play was 'Resistance'.  I was the second of involvement with the Transgenerational Theater Project. It was also our second performance in two months.

Each person contributed something to the project. We were co-creators along with our wonderful facilitators. The public response was amazing. Many were surprised that we as trans and non conforming produced a quality piece. I would love to bring something like this to schools, colleges, prisons, nursing homes, hospitals, churches, other public venues like the Brick.

This is my way of educating the public in a non traditional setting about transgender people are about. We have dreams, intelligence, creativity, and love.  

Trans Generations

Last Saturday a group of us transgender and gender non conforming women and men performed in a monologue called Trans Generations. We worked seven weeks to do this. It was well received by the trans/non conforming audience. Tonight we will perform before the general public. I am looking forward to it.

Initially, I was going to go for a week to see if I liked it. I ended up staying through the whole project. In mind, performance is educating, challenging convention, tackling controversial subjects. I'm sure that there are people out there who are questioning themselves and wanting answers to questions they may have about gender.

I would love to see more performances tackle controversial subjects such as politics, war, sex, ecology, women issues, and other topics. I will be involved with some other projects in the coming weeks and months.      

Rewriting A Previously Written Novella

I have written a novella only to realize that it needs to be changed. I posted recently that I need to write from a transgender perspective. Implementing this perspective in the already written novella just came out of the blue. Hmm, maybe it didn't. It's going to be a challenge but I want to do it.
