Sci-fi storytelling at MN POC Pride

My spouse recorded me performing my science fiction monologue “Adjudicated” on the MN POC Pride Festival stage in Minneapolis’ Powderhorn Park this past August. She used her cell phone, holding it vertically, so the video quality isn’t great. However, this is the first time the full monologue has been captured on video, versus the four-minute excerpt from a theater performance in 2018 that’s also on my YouTube channel. That was shot on a nice digital camera in widescreen, but the battery ran out so the video cuts off.

DJ Daddy Rox of RARE Productions, one of the organizers of MN POC Pride, is working on the stage in the background while I’m performing. DJ Daddy Rox had interviewed me for their radio show “The T” last December. The transgender activist has been a force in BIPOC queer organizing in the Twin Cities for long enough to age us both if I said how many years. Plus, they are one of my oldest friends in Minnesota.
