SEX-POSITIVE THEATER · PORTLAND, OREGON · SINCE 2005
Twenty years of saying it
out loud.
Women’s desire. Consent. Pleasure. The sacred feminine. Dance Naked Creative has spent two decades putting what our culture still whispers about center stage — with humor, courage and reverence.
Stories are medicine.
For most of our history, when women’s desire showed up in a story at all, itwas shamed, punished or laughed at. Dance Naked Creative exists to tell the otherstory — the joyful one — and to build rooms where people can finally say what they’ve never said out loud.
“Ninety percent of the reaction I get for my work is people saying thankyou.”
ELEANOR O’BRIEN, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
2009
Women’s fantasies, told by women
Inviting Desire sold out every night — then toured Canada in an RV to close the orgasm gap.
2012
Naming what had no name
Ethical non-monogamy and asexuality onstage — for many in the audience, the first time they’d heard the word “ace.”
2018
An end to rape culture
Sex We Can! took on bad sex and consent, and imagined the sexual future we could choose instead.
2021+
Removed from Instagram and YouTube, dropped by a payment processor. The work kept going — because patrons kept it going.
Censored for it

Reverence.
"The antidote to rage is reverence.”
Reverence is for women (anyone who identifies as a woman). A men’s group and a mixed group are on the way.
Celebrating the divine feminine. The first Plan V gathering is ninety minutes of sisterhood on Zoom, every Sunday at 9am Pacific. Women share stories, build a shared altar, dance, grieve and rage — and vision the future together. When women know their true power and hold it as sacred, society itself begins to change.
ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
Eleanor
O'Brien
Playwright, performer, director and facilitator. She makes shows that educate, illuminate and — above all — entertain, because humor is how the walls come down. Her deepest satisfaction is creating spaces where other people feel safe tapping into their own erotic genius.
“Tell the story you’re afraid to tell.”
Keep this work ALIVE
Without you, I’d probably be a hairdresser.out loud.
When the platforms shut the door, patrons kept the lights on — about 200 of them funded a whole show with no grants and no sponsors. Two ways to stand behind this work:
the monthly
love letter
Shows, workshops, Reverence news and whatever Eleanor is plotting next.
