THE EROTIC CLOWN

The Erotic Clown is a movement-based workshop for exploring choreographies of erotica through the lenses of destruction, sensuality, comedy and disgust. The participants receive tools and methods departing from Sepideh Khodarahmi’s artistic practices within rhythm-based movement from club dance styles, “Sex-Siren” and hyper-gendered drag-practices. During the workshop we play with tools of destruction, seduction and hapticality in order to expand what ‘the erotic’ may be. We explore gazing and being gazed at in relation to inanimate objects. We grind, shake and wind our hips. We move sensually to silly songs. We invent and create rituals as a gateway into what a queer articulation of pleasure could be. We explore destruction as a gateway to reconstruction. We dive deep into the choreography of erotica to see if there are any jokes that we can laugh at there.
