- Trans Form
A year ago, I wrote about transgender performance artist Rebecca Kling when she appeared in Charged Bodies, an evening of solo works at Links Hall. Kling presented an excerpt from Trans Form, then a work-in-progress. "I got involved with this project because I'd been looking for a way to access queer identity," she said. "Transitioning [from male to female] is a very gradual process, [and] trying to process the gender transition through solo performance made a lot of sense to me."
Performing Arts Von Feldt's Baltimore Christmas Carol Canceled
Posted by Deanna Isaacs on Tue, Nov 17, 2009 at 7:01 PM
The Baltimore stop for producer Kevin Von Feldt's troubled touring production of A Christmas Carol has been canceled. A spokesperson at the Lyric Opera House there said he couldn't explain the cancellation, but ticketholders for any of the eight performances scheduled for December 8-13 will receive refunds through their place of purchase. As we reported here, an earlier stop at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis was canceled last month after Von Feldt allegedly missed a rental payment. That leaves the Chicago run—slated for December 22-27 at the Civic Opera House—as the only remaining leg of what was originally touted as a star-studded five-city tour.
