I co-edited Dance Theatre Journal, special edition on Sex and Performance, with Doran George in 2013. Dance Theatre Journal is an academic but user friendly publication published by the Laban Centre, London.
We used the festival THIS IS WHAT I WANT as a lens through which to reveal the field of the intersection between radical sexual practice and radical performance practice in the Bay Area. The journal crystalises the five broad themes of activity around TIWIW. The performances, writing and portraits of the festival provide multiple entry points to investigate the practice of revealing and empowering desire and how erotics can fuel performance.
We are releasing these articles periodically throughout 2014 Sign up to be notified when they come out.

We used the festival THIS IS WHAT I WANT as a lens through which to uncover the intersection between radical sexual practices and radical performance practices in the Bay Area. The magazine crystallizes five broad themes of activity around TIWIW. The festival’s performances, writing and portraits provide many entry points to explore the practice of revealing and expanding desire and how eroticism can fuel performance.
