Press Release
Queer Social Club’s TransMission Brings the Best of Trans and Queer Art to Seattle and Your Mouth!
TransMission is a showcase of trans and gender queer artists being held at Seattle’s Washington Hall on August 3 and 4. Presented by Queer Social Club, doors are at 8:30 with both shows starting at 9pm. Each evening is totally unique, featuring the best of queer performance art, film, poetry, burlesque, puppets and aerial artists. Not only can you feast your eyes on nearly two dozen performers over two nights, you can also actually feast on them! The Kitchen Sink Project will be providing concessions packs each evening, small bites and sips designed to allow the audience to taste the essence of each performer and Eat The Show. Each evening will culminate with a dance party and several special bonus performances.
TransMission
is inspired by an amazing and diverse group of performers and community
organizers that want to bring Seattle thoughtful and experimental work produced
and performed by the queer and transgender community. The stage show will be
hosted by Neon and Leon Beige with Queer Social Club’s Logan Bruch and the
dance party to follow will be reigned over by the fierce Lilith Von
Fraumench. Featuring performances by Athens
Boys Choir, The Cherdonna and Lou Show, Paris Original, Amber Flame, Max
Voltage, Tobi Hill-Meyer, Zusha Rouge, Finn Cottom, Violet Deville, Amaryllis
Brindamore, Cory Cunnilingus,
Shaktease, Eli Steffen, and Mateo Cruz with films by Olive-or-Oliver,
Clyde Petersen, Syniva Whitney and the Seattle Premier of Malic Amalya &
Max Garnet’s experimental 16mm Gold Moon Sharp Arrow and more!
Some people have asked, why TransMission? The answer is simple; Because the gender binary hurts everyone. It’s fine to be a man or a woman, if that’s what you choose. But we all get to make that choice for ourselves. And we get to make up new categories to describe our particular perspective, identity or our general awesomeness. And we get to change our minds. We get to change our bodies, but we don’t have to. We get to change our names, if we want to. And most important (and most liberating), if we change our minds, it doesn’t mean what we chose before was wrong. We are ever evolving, ever changing. TransMission is here because revolutions start, in part, with the space art gives us to celebrate the diversity of possibility; to revel in the hard found, hard won identities and voices of the individuals and pieces on a magnificent stage in front of us. So join us for a riotous celebration, an evening of profound perspectives and ideas-both new and old. It’s a chance to see something amazing, feast, and then set aside our seats so we can kick up our heels. TransMission exists to remind us that there is no one right way to be, just that you can be yourself, whoever that is. And that’s a revolution. ((Also, a couple of really fun evenings.))
So join us for two very special and amazing evenings of art, food, drink, dance, identity, possibility and community. Bring your friends, your co-workers, your family and anyone else that enjoys amazing art! You can get tickets online (and cheaper!!!) at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/254395.
