Dear WIE fans, friends and family,

We are sad to announce that due to the current health crisis, we have decided not to produce a What Is Erotic? main show for the first time in 15 years.

Plans are in the works to produce something very special for Valentines 2021, so we encourage you to stay tuned for more information on this.

We learned through our work on Star Twerk—our first-ever, sexy, silly, original sci-fi movie, now in production--and our WIE mentorship program, which has been held virtually this year, that in-person support of our participants is a non-negotiable part of their well being. The content people bring to us is personal and often vulnerable--despite our best efforts, we were not able to provide the level of connection needed to create the artistry and magic that are the normal outcomes of this extraordinary project. While some people adapted to the online format, others struggled and it was painful. We are committed to providing an environment where all our participants, from audience to cast to our creative team, feel fully able to give, receive, grow and express What Is Erotic? to them."

Star Twerk, originally scheduled for premiere this Halloween, has also been delayed by the pandemic. As our Stage Manager Jae Gallo said Friday, “2020 is so scary, every day is like Halloween”. Hard to argue with that one. Our production team is reassessing our release date and we will let you know.

For now, all of us at WIE want you to know we miss connecting with you in the ‘real’ way we are used to. We are keeping you in our hearts and look forward to seeing you in person again as soon as conditions allow.

Love,
Artistic Director Laura Bishop & Team Erotic

What Is Erotic? Original Theatre & Dance Asking One Provocative Question… Our Mission In answer to a culture of objectification, What is Erotic? leads from the heart, breaking through stereotypes to spar…

Catch up with our Mentorship Program with leading Mentor, Carissa Albitre! 😍

Carissa has been a student of aerial dance, burlesque, and S Factor for several years with an interest in continuing her learning as well as helping others process what it means to move and be moved. She has a deep connection with the Santa Cruz community, especially the 418 Project where she found her body's true voice 5 years ago. She was a part of two What Is Erotic? productions and felt a calling to help lead the new community of What Is Erotic? mentees through a safe and sacred journey of answering this seemingly simple question.

We checked in with Carissa to see how things are going!

"This year has been a very eye opening experience, particularly around the adjustment we've all had to make around COVID-19. Last year, the Mentorship Program meetings were all conducted in-person, so we were not sure if we were going to do it this year. Eventually, we decided to move forward with the program anyway. So we decided to start doing this virtually.

Last year, the mentors met one-on-one with their mentees. This year, we decided to meet in partner groupings, which have been extremely helpful in that it is having a bigger impact now more than ever since a lot of us are craving social interaction. This group is unique in so many ways, and I really would like to just honor that."

Stay tuned for more exciting info about the Mentors and Mentees deep dive into their What is Erotic? journeys!
