Winston Tong

From Free net encyclopedia

Winston Tong is a San Francisco-based performer and artist, who is probably best known as the front-man for the avant-garde/New Wave/Art Punk group, Tuxedomoon (1977 –'1985), and for his solo work as a musician, performance artist, actor/playwright, visual artist, and puppeteer.

Tong's intensely personal and unique approach to performance art has earned him an Obie award in puppetry (for "Bound Feet", 1978), as well as numerous references and quotes in theatre-related publications. Recently, Tong was reunited with Tuxedomoon for two performances in San Francisco (March 2005), the first time they had performed together in twenty years.
