OF CELEBRATING GENDER FOR EVERYBODY!!!

None of this brave and friendly performance activism could have happened without YOUR support.
THANK YOU!!!
Scott Turner Schofield is a female-to-male transsexual with a transgender identity. (Sound confusing? Imagine how it feels...) He was also almost Homecoming Queen in high school, and he attended
three debutante balls. Overall, Turner, as he is known, is a Southerner in constant transition.
Schofield began his performance art career working as a research assistant to Holly Hughes and Carmelita Tropicana at the WOW Cafe in New York City in 2000. Now a full-time performance artist, educator, writer, and producer, he tours his acclaimed one-trannie shows, "Underground TRANSit" and "Debutante Balls" to colleges, theaters, and festivals far and wide, using performance to engage diverse audiences around the critical issues of our time: gender, race, class, sexuality, and difference.
His storytelling and interactive lectures ease and enliven conversation with audiences working through the confusing social maze of identity, helping to build community out of common interests. Lauded for his direct and accessible presentation, Schofield has been honored with several commissions for new work, and is the youngest recipient ever of a Tanne Foundation Award for Commitment to Artistic Excellence.
