Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Tish Benson is an award-winning poet, screenwriter, playwright, solo-performance and collaborative artist who can't keep a steady job. She is a Franklin Furnace Performance Grant Recipient, a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship Recipient in Playwriting, ad a Nuyorican Grand Slam Champion who most often performs for tables and chairs. Her film Hairstory aired on Lifetime TV and won the Jurors' Choice Award from the Links' Film Festival and Best Narrative Award from Reel Sisters of the Diaspora Film Festival. Tish Benson's plays and performances, which have been seen around the States, internationally, and in her mind when she dreams, have a strong musical element even though she is tone deaf. She is from Texas and is currently living in Brooklyn with her brilliant composer/musician husband Kwame Brandt-Pierce who claims she put a spell on him; he therefore had no choice in marrying her.
