World Theatre Festival - Justin Vivian Bond is Mx America (USA)
New Farm, Brisbane Area

22 February

Description

Mx Justin Vivian Bond is a writer, singer, painter, performance artist and author of the award winning memoir Tango: My Childhood, Backwards and in High Heels. The book sparked a vital discussion about gender fluidity and growing up trans in America. Having added the name Vivian and selfapplied the trans prefix Mx (instead of Mr or Ms) and trans pronoun ""v"" (instead of he or she), Bond has persuaded such mainstream media as The New York Times and The Economist to follow suit. It is not an overstatement to say that Bond has become one of the foremost spokespeople for trans experience.

Bond's debut CD release Dendrophile was quickly followed up by this year's Silver Wells which features covers of songs by Ronee Blakley, Kate Bush, Leonard Cohen, Tracy Chapman, Joni Mitchell, Mark Eitzel and Brecht and Weill.
