Hello everyone,
Sex Worker Open University is co-directing the UK Tour of Phone Whore - a show by queer Canadian artist ( and phoen sex operator) Cameryn Moore.
She is currently performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Fest and will then tour in Glasgow, Sheffield, manchester, Brighton and London.
See below for more info and links to Facebook events.
Truth and taboo collide in this intimate visit with a phone sex operator. Listen closely: she may change your views on sex forever.
?? Phone Whore is the kind of wondrous theatre work which forces you to face not just your own limits, but also what the limits are for text, performance and - let me say it - theatre itself. ? Go.? (Charlebois Post)
A slice-of-life comedy/drama, Phone Whore won the award for Best Female Solo show at the 2010 San Francisco Fringe Festival, Pick of the Fringe ? Drama at the 2011 Victoria Fringe Festival, and was an official selection of the 2012 Zoofest Festival in Montr?al. The play invites audiences in for an unflinching look at taboo, fantasy, and the place of ?deviant? desires in society today. Playwright and performer Cameryn Moore draws extensively on her work experiences at a no-taboo service to flesh out both the absurdities and difficult truths that pervade the world of phone sex.
Cameryn is an artist, activist, educator, and yes, a phone sex operator. She has done phone work for over four years, writing and rehearsing between calls and even taking calls while on tour.
Phone Whore and Cameryn?s 2013 world tour are fiscally sponsored projects of the International Sex Workers Foundation for Arts, Culture, and Education, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, tax-exempt organization. Cameryn?s tour stops in the UK are co-produced by the Sex Worker Open University, a community building and advocacy group based in London and Glasgow. Visit them at www.swou.org.
