Dancing Naked

So, not too long ago, I discovered this Portland-based website - www.dancenakedproductions.com  It's the internet connection to a young woman named Eleanor O'Brien and her platoon of sex-positive theatrical insurgents.  I happen to be attracted to sex-positive insurgents; especially those that employ humor and fun as their principle weapons.  So, I reached out to Eleanor.  We got together, and she's just the coolest person.   She's got this amazing resume.  A classically trained theater actress, she was inspired by Nancy Friday and other sex positive authors as well as Eve Ensler, author of the global stage phenomenon, The Vagina Monologues, to channel her energy into the creation of theater experiences built around joy-filled, sex positive themes.  We're talking live, stage shows; explicit, empowering  and fun, not some cheesy brand of erotica or porn.

Though Dance Naked Productions is based in Portland, Oregon,  Eleanor and her colleagues have performed to critical acclaim all over the United States and Canada. Some of their live theatrical events like, Dominatrix for Dummies, are one-woman shows starring Eleanor; others like Inviting Desire, feature an ensemble cast of delightfully brassy, sexpressive ladies, led by Eleanor.

The mission behind the fun is to push back against the entrenched repressive cultural morays that undermine the comfortable and joyful expression of sexuality, particularly with women.  Eleanor O'Brien entertains her audiences with lots of laughs, and hopes they come away feeling good about themselves and are eager to embrace a comfortable,  sex positive outlook on life.

Sign me up. I'm a fan.
