- Summary:
- A loving portrait of Jennifer Miller, a lesbian performer who lives her life with a full beard. Miller works as a performance artist, circus director, clown, and as the "bearded lady" in one of the only remaining sideshows in America. In public, she is often mistaken for a man, an experience she handles with the wit and intelligence that characterize her stage performances. JUGGLING GENDER explores the fluidity of gender and raises important questions about the construction of sexual and gender identity. Extras include STILL JUGGLING, a new video with Jennifer Miller 15 years later, discussing family and religion, gender and the beard, the side show then and now, life as an artist, and Circus Amok. Also SIDESHOW BY THE SEASHORE: Coney Island, New York.
