Upcoming Events
Essensuality:
An Evening of Erotic Expression
Sex, love, relationship…
Anger, passion, longing…
Unspoken desires, unrealized fantasies,
unheard of sensual adventures…
Essensuality invites out the essence of sensuality. The raw, vulnerable, uncensored, tender – usually private – moments are revealed in poetry, spoken word, dance, comedy, storytelling, music…or some genre of your own imagination.
The evening will include: Featured acts, open mic performances, and spontaneous combustion…not necessarily in that order. Comfortable seating in the round, a limited cash bar, and an unrushed evening of erotic expression. Opportunities to laugh, cry…and blush.
Bring yourself, your friends, your lovers. Your desire, your embarrassment, your uncertainty. It’s all welcome here! After all, that’s what it is to be a sensual being. And that’s what we’re celebrating…the sensuality that lives — whether hidden or on the sleeve — of every single one of us.
