NAKED CREATURES

Santa Monica, CA – Highways Performance Space Artistic Director, Leo Garcia presents NAKED CREATURES, a must see weekend of new queer performance work curated by Ian MacKinnon.

When: Friday + Saturday, February 6th & 7th @ 8:30 PM
Where: Highways Performance Space, 1651 18th Street, Santa Monica, CA 90404

NAKED CREATURES is a weekend of solo and group performances by gay centered artists who utilize and rejoice in the naked body. These fierce, fun, flamboyant, and meaty original works deal with the ways queer bodies are seen and unseen, misrepresented or exalted, and all the ways we can be naked emotionally, psychologically, and physically. Through dance, music, video, and farce, some of LA’s most exciting queer artists team up to take it off, reminding us that underneath everything we are all naked creatures.

Performances by: Artist and sex guru Krys Fox, new media performer Samuel Vasquez, gender bending performance artist Jean Natalia, queer activist writer Danny Hill, Homo-ally cabaret queen Angelita Padilla, gay centered performance artist Ian MacKinnon, and Go-Go boy/modern dancer Gregory Barnett (aka DanceGood.Damnit!)
