S EX ed with my EX Boss.

My ex boss and I saw FLUID, I loved how Erika cleverly put her audience in school-mode so abruptly ...engaging my boss and i into a sort of awkward but thoughtfully alluring exchange about sexuality that may not have ever happened anywhere else ...although we both had these questions for each other.

Erika gives her audience the chance to explore and even bravely question themselves + confront their own stereotypes no matter what spirit, or preference they fall under.

Smart. Funny. Passionate. Sexy. Honest. Daring. Tons of Flavor... Sobering.

FLUID
One of the best this year. The math scene, "How Gay Am I?" was a scream. And I like that behind the comedy and the personal journey is some real intellectual rigor. Kate's not just whining that straights and gays alike patronize bisexuals, even though they do. She clarifies HOW they mischaracterize it and (to some extent at least) WHY. And her theories are damn convincing. It's totally appropriate for FLUID to be playing at the Center for Sex and Culture; it really IS sex ed. Deep sex ed. For example:
The audience participation bit in which we quizzed each other about sexual history got fascinatingly (dangerously) deep very fast. We were forbidden to say "No", only "Yes" or "Not yet." Three questions: "have you had sex with..." 1: men 2: women 3: indeterminate... The person I asked, clearly over thirty, answered "not yet" to everything! Of course Kate explicitly okayed lying. But I think this person meant it. Whew!
And I'm not sure a stranger'd be so honest without that shift from "No" to the optimism of "Not yet"...
The raps, the raps... Hey, Erika! Your raps are funny and true, but only in one did you quit scolding the annoying boys/straights/rigid queers and just flow in your OWN world--the piece about sex/love as setting sail. Some real poetry, real feeling, and it was genuinely hot, not just a clever well-played funny role, like the other raps felt to me. I hope you do more like this. The others DO work, ARE funny, and ARE needed steps on the growth-path you described (and thus are needed hinges in the play), but they're still told in a pretty conventional pugnacious rap persona--you're just tweaking the content, not the current butch style. But rap originally was just freeform improv poetry; it could be anything as long as it had that spontaneous flow. In that sailing one you let go of the arguments and defenses and faky butch and just go into your own world and whoooooo, you soar. Go there some more. It felt so gooood. Pleeeeeease? Right therrrrre? Um... I have to stop typing now...!

Awesome time- brilliant, funny, a little bit sad, ultimately inspiring- Erika Kate has amazing presence and wicked comic timing. I wish she were my teacher! Well, I guess she is... Don't miss this show- if you're lucky, she might hit on you in the middle

Just went last night to see the opening night of Fluid - and adored it... funny, inspiring, informative.. and it really felt good to have the "bisexual" (a term she kind of debunks for its binary-ness) point-of-view so eloquently put forth.. it's not often that one can be entertained and a little bit healed in just over an hour!! and for $9... Hope you go!

Thoughtful and entertaining stories, dances, monologues and raps about sexuality. In particular, Erika Kate's mathematical derivation of the "How gay am I?" equation is not to be missed.
