San Francisco Says Goodbye to GenderEnders!
After three years running, the San Francisco-based trans/intersex/genderqueer-focused performance series GenderEnders will have its final show:
Friday, September 15th, 2006
at Femina Potens Gallery
465 South Van Ness @ 16th St
Mission District, San Francisco, CA
8pm, $5 cover, $3 for open mic performers
GenderEnders curator and host julia serano first created the series in 2003 in order to foster community among transgender-, intersex-, and genderqueer-identified performers and to provide opportunities for gender/sex variant voices to reach larger audiences. Now that the Bay Area’s burgeoning “trans” performance scene is going strong, with numerous trans-focused, trans-hosted, and trans-friendly events occurring every month, Serano has decided to retire the series in order to focus on a more trans woman-specific project early next year.
This final installment will feature the hilarious Ham-Bone Johnson, host / curator of the Three Dollar Bill Cafe’s Queer Open Mic Cindy Emch, and author of the upcoming book For Lack of a Better Word Thea Hillman. Host Julia Serano will also be reading a brief excerpt from her upcoming book Whipping Girl.
In addition to the featured performers, GenderEnders hosts a performance open mic. Attendees are encouraged to bring their announcements and their music, spoken word, stand-up comedy, performance art, or any other type of performance to the event.
