At the vanguard of the queer/trans community, Lynn Breedlove is a visionary who has long been shaping revolutionary art. His/her 'One Freak Show' is queer homohop punkrock standup comedy on transgender bodies, feminism, family, and 'community.' His/her plan for world peace includes gender nesting dolls, cross-dressing stuffed animals, and a new edition of Our Bodies Ourselves for men. Breedlove is the singer/lyricist for Tribe 8 and author of the novel Godspeed. 2007 marks the fourth incarnation of the “Throws Like A Girl” Performance Festival. The series was launched in 2000 and featured Holly Hughes (“Preaching to the Perverted”), Deb Margolin (“O Wholly Night and Other Jewish Solecisms”), and Peggy Shaw (“Menopausal Gentleman”). The festival was such a resounding success that Rude Mechs, in collaboration with performance curator Jill Dolan and The University of Texas, decided to bring the event back as often as time and funds would allow. The second TLAG was presented in 2002 and featured Marty Pottenger (“City Water Tunnel #3”), Peggy Shaw (“To My Chagrin”) and Terry Galloway (“Lardo Weeping”). The third TLAG in 2005 was curated to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the WOW Café – the legendary OBIE Award winning NYC performance space collectively owned and operated by women for women. It featured Deb Margolinn (“Index to Idioms”), Carmelita Tropicana and Marga Gomez (“Single Wet Female”) and Peggy Shaw and Lois Weaver (“Dress Suits to Hire”).
