—The Village Voice
Will you love the earth? Erotically? Former porn star, Annie Sprinkle and her partner, Elizabeth Stephens mount the stage and get (very) eco-friendly. The planet is fragile and in this time of crisis, they embrace mother earth, get fresh with her beautiful, fleshy plants, and get naked, down and dirt-y. This dynamic duo is living "green" as you will NOT see on TV! They just might save your sex life along with the planet!
About the Artists
Annie Sprinkle has toured theater pieces about her life in love and sex for 20 years. From 1973 until 1993, she was a prostitute, and became the first out porn actress to earn a Ph.D. Her work is often studied in academia. She does many university and college visiting artist gigs. Currently Sprinkle is ecosexual.
Elizabeth Stephens is an interdisciplinary artist, activist and educator who has explored themes of sexuality, gender, queerness, and feminism through art and performance for over 20 years. Currently her focus is SexEcology. Stephens is a Full Professor and for the past three years has been the Chair of the Art Department at the University of California in Santa Cruz.
The Love ART Laboratory
We, Elizabeth M. Stephens and Annie M. Sprinkle, are an artist couple committed to doing projects that explore, generate, celebrate and glorify love and sexuality. We utilize visual art, installation, theater pieces, interventions, live-art, exhibitions, lectures, printed matter and activism. Each year we orchestrate one or more interactive performance art weddings in collaboration with various national and international communities, then display the ephemera in art galleries. Our projects incorporate the colors and themes of the chakras, a structure inspired by Linda M. Montano's 14 Years of Living Art. We live together in San Francisco.
