“Gender Tender: Sync or Swim” Explores Queer Issues Via Dance / Drag / Comedy

January 14, 2014• bySeattle Gay Scene
Will Courtney and Syniva Whitney star in Gender Blender's SYNC OR SWIM at Gay City Arts this weekend.

Will Courtney and Syniva Whitney star in Gender Blender’s SYNC OR SWIM at Gay City Arts this weekend.

Gay City Health Project’s exciting new arts program, “Gay City Arts Presents” debuts a new production this weekend in their Calamus Auditorium. GENDER TENDER: SYNC OR SWIM utilizes theater, comedy, dance and drag to explore some interesting queer issues of gender fluidity and features original live music and choreography from director Syniva Whitney.

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. Also featuring: Christine Abdale, Ava Cole, Steven Gomez, Kristi Krein, Loren Othon, Jan Trumbauer, Tyler Wardwell

Original music performed live by Golden Space.

Will and Syniva are the co-founders of GENDER TENDER, a performance project that began out of the desire to make work in a safe and rigorous environment for trans*, queer*, questioning and allied artists of all kinds.

The show runs Thursday, January 16 through Sunday, January 19, 2014 at Gay City, 517 East Pike Street and you can grab tickets over at StrangerTickets.
