GenEnCo Presents: Eagle Woman Poems at The VORTEX




I am afraid of eagle
But keep clutching at her.

Sometimes,
I want to rip this eagle from my neck.

DeeDee and GohGoh’s ride needs fixin’. Who knew you could find a good mechanic at a surprise party? They just have to wait for her to show up.

An all-women-of-color adaptation of Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot." Set in a deserted house, DeeDee and GohGoh are two queer youth who are waiting for Gee-Dot, She Who Fixes Things.

shorb, Goodnow, and Rosales are recipients of the 2009 FronteraFest "Best of Fest" for their work in the short play, "T.A.G." by Stamp Lab: A Performance Group. This is the premier work of the Generic Ensemble Company, a new theatre group that foregrounds marginal bodies in performance.
