PussyWolf

Recognizing the power of the erotic within our lives can give us the energy to pursue genuine change within our world
— Audre Lorde
 

PussyWolf is an interactive educational experience + performance showcase exploring the erotic as healing. Intersecting the essence of P(;)ssy Magic + the feral nature of SheWolf, our wild selves call us home to reclaim our erotic power + in the process we have the opportunity to heal ourselves. We invite you to witness + participate in this journey of courageous expression.

Producers Frann Fatale + Gaea Lady curate live performance art to the theme “Break the Cycle" inviting in a process of reclamation + renewal. We are seeking to honor a diverse, expressive cast of authentic voices + bodies to speak to the myriad of concepts around the revolution of breaking the cycle, exiting the spiral, reclaiming our belonging to who we truly are in this universe, + renewing our devotion to what matters most to us.

This show is focused towards liberation + is envisioned to highlight performance arts such as burlesque, movement, spoken word, music, + poetry.

Come ready to cheer, support, tip, + celebrate our collective experience in this life to transform + grow through erotic performance art.

~

This year’s theme is BREAK THE CYCLE: RECLAIM // RENEW

~

Break the Cycle : when we contemplate life’s larger patterns + cycles, we have the opportunity to see their resonance within culture, community + individual trajectories. For example, tradition has the power to carry forward knowledge, yet if held too rigidly can thwart needed change for progression + evolution.

Outdated cycles that no longer serve might be seen as a room without an exit, or an unbeatable system. Yet, perhaps mentally transform the circular cycle into a spiral + follow the tail outwards (or inwards) to shift + exit.

Break free to be the authentic self you are, now.

Slow Down Sensuality with Gaea Lady 

Invite opportunity to listen to the deep whispers of your inner self in this 90 min masterclass. Gaea guides through Pussy Magic movement and reflection practices based in sensual and erotic movement to tune into what brings your life embodied pleasure.  Here, listening slowly, we learn to move into everyday life from this place of empowered confidence in knowing the bones of consent deep within your body. This tool helps us become more self-aware to break the cycles we no longer wish to hold in our lives & reclaim a renewed sense of devotion.

In workshop, we will play with kinetic meditation, embodied movement, partner work, and free form dance. 

Come with no expectations and an open mind, and wear something you can move in that makes you feel great. Soft shoes or socks recommended- anyway you can feel the floor!

Metamorphosis with Frann Fatale

Octavia Butler said "The only lasting truth is Change. God is Change". As we journey individually, together; we invite these inquiries: Where are we are in the process of change? What cycles are we aware of that want to shift in our lives? What needs to be let go of in order to make space for new? How can we befriend our patterns in order to break them? What support do we need to take those courageous steps? 

Join Frann in this 90 min masterclass for a deep inquiry into intimacy + transformation. Using methods from Performance as Therapy, Authentic Movement, therapeutic dance, + embodied meditation, we will work toward a place of compassionate inquiry, moving away from judgement. We will practice seeing + being seen, moving + being moved, embracing + being held by inner knowing / higher Self...amongst the comfort of community. We will trust the process of moving through dense + difficult material into a felt sense of illumination + renewal. 

Please bring a journal + dress in comfortable clothes for movement. All are welcome!

Frann Fatale (she/they) is an alchemical seductress that will transform your mind, melt your heart, + rock your soul. Her ripe debut was in 2021, after participating in Gaea Lady’s Pussy Magic burlesque program. Exploring the tantalizing intersections of burlesque, flow arts, + kink, her work finds the magical sweet spot where seduction meets soul. She traverses the paradoxes between archetype + humanity, fantasy + reality, destiny + agency, shadow + light, desire + manifestation. Currently based in Chicago, she has performed at The Newport Theater, Elastic Arts Center, Epiphany Center for the Arts, Eco Collective, The Art of Balance, The Ace Hotel, Elastic Arts, + Between the Trees Festival near St Louis. She is grateful for any opportunity to explore her erotic power with loving, supportive witnesses.
