Dirty Sexecology - 25 Ways to make love to the earth

We presented our performance piece, Dirty Sexecology, for the first time in Berne, Switzerland. This work explores our relationship with the earth as our lover. Beth sang a song about mountain top removal strip mining, while Annie is exchanging energy with the earth; we do a ballet strip tease earth dance; literally get down and dirty with potted plants and then have ourselves buried while reciting our green wedding vows to the earth. The work is autobiographical and political. We hope to show how sexy the earth really is and hand how we artists must start trying to save her. This two woman show is directed by Patty Gallagher.
