Born with a woman's body, Scott Turner Schofield has always felt like a man and became one thanks to surgery. It's less this transformation than a multitude of anecdotes, tragic or comic, about his new life that he tells during this performance, irreverent and dynamic, graceful and funny, intimate and nimble. Schofield literally bares himself on stage in order to make his life and his body into theatrical works. Alone on stage in the midst of multimedia projections and silk ribbons, he dances, dives, hides and searches in a delicate choreography that mixes brute force and magnificent flexibility. This show, which is different every evening, focuses on improvisation and audience participation in order to address the issues of gender and identity in the simplest of ways, to open minds and to break down preconceptions.
Since its opening in Seattle in October 2007, "Becoming a Man in 127 EASY Steps" has played to full houses around the world. Schofield's work has been praised by critics and has received many awards as well as a grant from the National Performance Network.
Followed by a meeting with Scott Turner Schofield.
