Inviting Desire: The Dawn of Sex

The Dawn of Sex promises to be a juicy and memorable evening of theater. This provocative and playful performance is the perfect date for you and your significant other, your lovers-in-law, your primal horde... And single folks just may find themselves beset with offers! From cocktails to erotic tales, and dancing after the show - this is an evening of theater that offers more than just a spectator experience.

As a theater company, our focus is erotic and authentic stories told from a female perspective, that create inclusive, interactive entertainment. (Our tag line - "sex-positive theater...with a happy ending!) We use the medium of theater to illuminate, educate and entertain, and unabashedly celebrate the erotic imagination. We employ the live component of performance to engage on a visceral level with the audience. As reviewed in The Mercury "Like nothing you've seen on a Portland stage."

Inviting Desire: The Dawn of Sex explores relationships, in all their delightful permutations. Taking our cue from the bonobos, we'll explore group sex, play on the poly playground, and make monogamy the hottest thing since strap-ons. We delight in the variety and style of human sexuality, and seek to illuminate and celebrate the differences. We are not here to advocate for one over another, but to honor and revel in all the ways we humans turn ourselves on. We offer you a sexual buffet from which sampling is encouraged, if only in the imagination.

Dance Naked believes in the power of vulnerability and authenticity to spread acceptance, reduce shame, and promote joy through ethical hedonism. We are pleasure advocates, theater junkies, and feminist foot soldiers. Our shows are inclusive of all genders and sexual preferences. We look forward to turning you on!
