GENDER ID; Cast

Stephen Hues the Choreographer, Principle Performer and Costume Designer of Gender ID

I met Stephen in the Fall of 1988 in a Video Dance course at Ohio State University, where I was studying computer animation and he was in the dance program.  Our mutual interest in Art & Technology and Experimental Storytelling has fueled many brainstorming sessions.  The clip below shows the first thing we made that served a purpose*.  It is the program for Stephen's final project.  Play the video to see how we thought Dance and Performance could be represented in a printed program.



* This program was not our first creative collaboration.  A few weeks prior we painted our face, took selfies (before the word existed), picked new names (I picked Storm because it looked like it was about to.) and went  to a dance club (or three.)  We were Club Kids while the NYC Club Kids were still in diapers.
