A message from sex guru Annie Sprinkle; EXPOSED!-- IN SAN FRANCISCO!

Dear Friends, Below is info on our new theater extravaganza. Please come. And we'd appreciate any forwarding and/or posting of this email letter. Have a happy everything, love, Annie and Beth


CounterPULSE, the National Queer Arts Festival,
and Center for Sex and Culture present:

Annie Sprinkle and Elizabeth Stephens
In the West Coast Premiere of
EXPOSED:
Experiments in Love, Sex, Death, Art

In the grand tradition of artist couples such as John and Yoko, Alice B. and Gertrude, Sonny and Cher, John Cage and Merce Cunningham, Lucy and Ricky, Bjork and Matthew, Siegfried and Roy, now there’s BETH AND ANNIE!

Come and experience the West Coast premiere of EXPOSED: Experiments in Love, Sex, Death, Art, a new multi-media performance-art-theater-extravaganza. Nominated Austin's Critics Table Award for Best Touring Show. (People say it's Annie Sprinkle's best show yet!)

EXPOSED is a unique love story. Become a part of a genuine celebration of the deepest realms of romantic, sexual, and familial love, in order to bring about positive social change. Exposed also offers an artistic response to the violence of war, and the anti-gay marriage movement.

EXPOSED takes place in a delightful laboratory, and explores lesbian courtship, artificial insemination, queer weddings, breast cancer, art experiments, communion with community, and more. Audiences will enjoy a live sound-scape, a bevy of enthusiastic lab technicians, and opportunities to be human guinea pigs. They can drink some Love Art Lab Elixer, and great results are virtually guaranteed with no unpleasant side effects. Mixing elements of pleasure, pain, passion, and juice, the “love artists” will stimulate the senses and crack hearts open. Experiment with Beth and Annie and take an adventure into the exotic and unknown.

When Annie Sprinkle (former porn star and performance artist) and Elizabeth Stephens (professor and experimental artist) fell madly and passionately in love, they decided to make a commitment to explore, generate, and share their love through art. They named their project the Love Art Laboratory.


EXPOSED is directed by Neon Weiss. Technical design and live sound-scape are by Sheila Malone. Guest appearances are by artist and art professor Tina Takemoto (as Biork) and four fantastic laboratory assistants.

please K&R, thanks!

Annie Sprinkle is a GODDESS! I was lucky enough to meet her personally in LA several years ago. Of course I was very starstruck, awkward and uncool, but I met her.

I just wish she got to Chicago or I to SF more often.

longtime beau of mine. We'd end up at the same NY parties every now and then.

She always had a cheerful coolness to her - and I like forthright women.

she really must be something in person! the world be be much better if there were more annie`s

The world could have MANY more "Annies" if we all just made the resolution to be creative, loving, and sexually outrageous. I have!

I wish I were going to be there. LOVE HER!!! Now I know why you mentioned her in my gay icon thread. :-)

K&R!!

I wish I could too!

No money in the budget for travel to SF any time soon.

Damn the timing.


Kicking!

:kick:

...I entered a drawing for some SF tickets the other day.

Where is this drawing taking place?

:evilgrin:

Just kidding. If I won, I'd give them to you. If you promised to bring me back an Annie souvenir. :-)

...but I think her sweetie would object.

Wouldn't your sweetie object a tad bit too? :shrug:

:evilgrin:

:-)

I got the best part of the deal!

If I put up a picture of Pam Anderson pouting in a bikini, it would get locked, but a dreary sex seminar being put on by an aging porn star is the exception to the rule, I suppose.


Boy will I get flamed for this, but really, why the double standard?

This isn't a sex seminar. Did you not READ this?

Annie has been doing performance art, photography, and painting for quite some time now.

"art"



And I did read it. It's a sex seminar, plus pretense.

Nice debating style there.

...without nudity or explicit penetration.

How is is NOT a sex seminar? Sex, "creative" or not, is sex.

The same way "The Summer of '42" wasn't.

The same way "The Graduate" wasn't.

Sex as a theme in art does not equal pornography.

And not being able to find clothed pictures of her is about the lamest excuse you could come up with. They are NOT hard to find whatsoever;

I didn't post the URL for Annie's main web site;

I wish Annie were close enough to visit, because we'd absolutely do coffee as often as possible. We have the best conversations.
