MY GENDER ASSIGNMENT is finally due!
An original one-act performance-theatre tragi-comedy!
Two shows only!: Saturday, April 18 at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday, April 19 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $10.00 at the door at Market Hall.
My Gender Assignment is mysterious entity’s original work in development this season, a collaborative piece that explores the boundaries and definition of gender and how it affects our lives. It is inspired by the assumptions and everyday performances that compose our gender, a threshold for telling stories about who we are and who we are becoming.
In My Gender Assignment, gender is looked at on a continuum, where a biological female may have more “masculine” traits than a biological male, or vice versa. When we are placed on the continuum, we may find that no one is really on either end of the spectrum.
The initial stage for development of this project has been a “Gender Café” where artists and community members have met, discussed and shared personal stories and powerful memories around gender.
The raw material provided has been woven together with music, movement, humour and pathos in a collaborative process and is being performed by artists David Bateman, Kate Story, anya gwynne and Lester Alfonso with live music composed and performed by Derek Bell, lighting and stage management provided by Esther Vincent, design elements by Martha Cockshutt, script compiled and directed by Mysterious Entity's Artistic Director Em Glasspool.
“By putting this question of identity into a live theatre context, we are inviting our audience to consider a new interpretation of gender,” said Glasspool.
Mysterious Entity Theatre has a unique approach to producing work. The final product, the production itself, is an extension of a collaborative process involving an entire network in our community. This premiere presentation of My Gender Assignment will reflect a collective ability to successfully engage, challenge, and transform individuals, audiences and communities.
Mysterious Entity Theatre is committed to celebrating the diversity within this community and we are so pleased at the success of our first ever Drag Race! We are thrilled to have made connections with local organizations that make such an important contribution to the lives of people in this region. Thank you all so much for your continued support and enthusiasm.
Don’t miss My Gender Assignment April 18th and 19th!
Sincerely Yours,
Em
