Gay City Arts Season One: UpClosePersonal continues with Sync or Swim. Blending a variety of techniques (dance, drag and more) to create a multidisciplinary performance piece, GENDER TENDER takes “syncing” to a whole new level.
Real life couple Will Courtney and Syniva Whitney and crew challenge the sincerity of family based sitcoms and romantic comedies while wondering what it means to be a family in real life. Sync or Swim takes “syncing” to another level. Queer to the core, GENDER TENDER syncs with the lips, body, and mind, testing the fluidity of relationships and identity. Will we Sync/Sink? Or will we Swim/She-him? Blending a variety of techniques (dance, drag and more ) Sync or Swim believes that anything is possible. www.facebook.com/gendertenderforever

Also featuring: Christine Abdale, Ava Cole, Steven Gomez, Kristi Krein, Loren Othon, Jan Trumbauer, Tyler Wardwell and kt Shores. Original music performed live by Golden Space.

“Courtney and Whitney were a force to be reckoned with, offering brilliant insight into stereotyping.” Seattle Dances
