The
Work
original performance by Scott Turner Schofield
Scott
Turner Schofield's one-person shows have been presented at theaters and universities
across the United States. Schofield has been the featured performer for events
such as
Unity Week, National Coming Out Day, Transgender Day of Rememberance, Pride,
even Women's History Month. His work has even helped get out the vote for
Gender Identity inclusion and protection!
These shows have also been selected for programming at HERE in New York City,
the Chicago Single File Festival, the Philadelphia Fringe Festival,
the Fresh Fruit Festival, and the National Queer Arts Festival in San Francisco.
Schofield's interactive stand-up/lectures on gender identity have also
drawn wide praise from community groups and academic departments
for their accessibility to everybody with a gender identity (that would be...you).
Additionally, Schofield offers a performance workshop
for artists at any level. Words Can't Describe draws on the
diverse
experiences of participants, and the issues that drive us to make change.
The aim is to inspire creative work that engages community issues,
and create spectacles that ignite transformation.

The Southern Gents Tour
The Southern
Gents Tour was born out of the burnin' desire of
Scott Turner Schofield and the Athens Boys Choir to get together
and shake up perceptions about the South, and Southerners.
With their original multi-media performance, the Gents take on the Yahoo in
Office,
cowboy coitus, and how we *do* gender, race, class, and politics down here
- in a polite and friendly manner, of course.

Words Can't
Describe
An ongoing collaborative project with artists
in the U.S. and around the world
whose performance work articulates about personal and social identity
what words just can't describe.
underground transit
Transgressing,
undressing, digressing:
go underground with an almost-Homecoming Queen turned gender renegade.
This edgy, yet accessible spoken word roll through one Southerner's budding
trans identity
features rock'n'roll with a touch of drag, and incredible poetry that draws
you in for the ride.

Why Performance?
Live
performance is direct action for social change.
Performance makes new, unexpected possibilities real
for audiences dealing with social conflict.
Performance is a spectacle that provokes reflection and discussion, whether
it be
in the audience in a theater, or a community at-large.
Performance offers a view into diverse experiences from which any community
benefits.
