LGBTQ People You Should Know. Cooper is an influential
transgender pioneer in the arts and has received critical acclaim
for his gender-bending live and film performances. Currently Cooper
is in development of his next film, Worthy of Survival. Cooper
marked his directorial debut with Hero Mars, a beautifully
cinematic and thought-provoking award-winning short film of which
he also wrote, produced and starred. As an actor, Cooper received
accolades for his revolutionary adaption playing Othello as a
female commander. He has appeared in the films Elena Undone, The
Owls and The Insomniacs, and on television in RuPaul’s Drag U.
Skyler trained in classical and contemporary theater for 3 years in
San Francisco. He studied acting with Phillip Bennett, founder of
The Bennett Theater Lab, and Amy Mueller. He then went on to
begin an internship with California Shakespeare Company and rounded
out his training with speech and vocal coaches at American
Conservatory Theater.   Cooper, a Gulf War
veteran, practicing Buddhist and lover of tango, can
often be found leading women and men at milongas in the Bay
Area when not working on his next gender-ation film.  You
