Garcia remarked, “You know what Kirsten (Wilson) really argued is that I need to acknowledge my trans elder status. I’ve been working with trans people all over the country for the past 20 years, navigating the transitional process, earning master’s degrees, becoming a therapist, and finally serving as pastor. I really needed to step in as a transgender elder and move with the younger generation as they come to terms with who they are because my brother monologists are significantly younger than I am.
Morgan Seamont, the director of the Pride Office at CU Boulder, made a strong relationship between his first gender identity awareness and his vivid childhood memory at the top of his monologue.
“I’m with two kids on a grassy industry.” We are between the ages of nine and ten. In his speech, Seamont tells the visitors, “One of them is standing following to me. Everything is fine; it’s a lovely, sunny morning. My hands feels as though the game was custom-made for it. I can also picture the ball spinning, spiraling, and arcing into the distance, followed by the catch, which is flawless.
According to Seamont, this style of story is the best way to make connections with others.
Motus Theater’s Noah J. KatzSeamont remarked, “It enables people to gain a deeper understanding of who you are, what makes you the people you have been, and everything that has contributed to the beauty of you.” Therefore, I believe that sharing those stories fosters deeper relationships and enables people to move past any prejudices they may have learned about transgender individuals or any other group of marginalized people. It encourages people to discover the true nature of that expertise.
Although people voices serve as the show’s anchor, the practice goes far beyond that. Tona Brown, a well-known violinist, mezzo-soprano, and transsexual activist, was hired by Motus to compose music responses for each speech. The second transgender girl to headline a Carnegie Hall performance is frequently hailed as Brown.
Because many of us don’t reveal our personal life with merely everyone if you’re not an advocate or a press professional or something, I believe that so many people assume that they’ve never met anyone who is trans. Brown said this. Try your best to go hear stories about our lives even if you haven’t met a transgender person because we’re more alike than we are different. And it’s these disparities that truly amaze us.
According to Brown, specific narratives, such as those portrayed in TRANSFORMative Stories, have the ability to develop empathy and dissolve barriers.
“I’ve always noticed a difference in how someone who has never known anything about transgender (people) actually gets involved with our artistry.” Brown remarked.
Motus Theater was able to create the Revolutionary Stories job and stage the first performance at e-Town in Boulder thanks to a National Endowment for the Arts grant. The business is currently looking for partners to assist with a nationwide and state-wide trip.
