Pandora Scooter is a spoken-word dynamo whose passionate rhymes and rants thrill and inspire audiences.

Winner of the 2008 SpokenKnowledge DNC Contest for her piece OTHER.  Featured in CURVE MAGAZINE’s OUT IN FRONT series and on the Gay Center of NY’s OUT AT THE CENTER television show, Pandora performs up and down the East Coast.  She’s been put into categories including everything from stand-up comedy to hip-hop to folk poet to performance artist. Her work defies conventional labels, just as she does herself.

A self-identified QUEERMAMASAPIEN, Pandora is pro-people, in all their glorious individualizations. She is an unyielding advocate on behalf of misfits and ‘fits,’ of all walks and talks.

“I believe the world needs as much connection between people as possible. I’m out here to connect with as many people as I can – and to let people know it’s ok to connect with each other. To let them know that it’s ok to be everything they are and want to be – in all the complexities and confusions that make life what it is: one big, crazy, beautiful messy love storm.”
