Hi, I'm

I make art about SEX

I’ve spent the last 20 years making art about sex. I am the artistic director of Dance Naked Creative, a sex-positive theater company in Portland, Oregon.

I believe stories are medicine, and that narratives about our erotic lives help heal shame and expand our consciousness.  I create shows designed to educate and illuminate, and most importantly, entertain.

I think humor is an absolute necessity when it comes to making shows that have an emotional impact.  My mission is to encourage ongoing conversations and create a sense of possibility around intimacy. 

I believe theater is a highly effective form of propaganda (and dare I say, therapy?).  And yes, I’m here to change the world, one vagina monologue at at time. 😋
