Kate's books are taught in over 120 colleges and universities around the world, and she has performed her work live on campuses, in theaters, and in performance spaces across the United States, as well as in Canada, Europe, and Australia.
Sexual preference, gender identity, and self-identification have increasingly grown apart from the cultural norms that have in the past bound them all so closely together. Bornstein explores these shifting conceptualizations of sexuality and gender in this autobiographical, interactive performance piece billed as "Postmodern Gender 101 with a comic twist."
