sex werque 

​

A one-woman show about working as a stripper in Pittsburgh. Choreographer Moriah Ella Mason explores how we perform eroticism and consume intimacy, both in the club and at home. Through theater and dance, she unpacks the world of sex work: the emotional and economic forces, the movement vocabulary, the masks, and the moments of authentic connection.

​

Mason is joined by collaborating sound artists J.F. Winkles & Eric Weidenhof,  video artist Liz Barentine, and the voices and expertise of other sex workers.

"...a dark and surprisingly humorous journey into the seedy underbelly of this special brand of American entertainment."  more...
