Plan V - Acts | Dance Naked Creative

PLAN V - Acts of Pleasure (Activism)

“The role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible.” (-Toni Cade Bambara).

Zoom has never been so fertile.

Through the theatrical magic of a LIVE Zoom performance, you’ll be swept into a real-time Plan V Gathering,

hosted by Mama V, a former Mormon matron turned pansexual pleasure activist, intent on changing the world.

Plan V is a movement created by members who share

the belief that Pussy is LIFE! and that restoration of reverence for the Divine Feminine is what is needed to bring peace to the planet.

The mission of Plan V is to

Educate, Celebrate and Liberate Pussy

This meeting finds the group at a crossroads.

What IS PLEASURE ACTIVISM?

How do we channel our powerful erotic energy?

WILL WE BACK THE HISTORIC RUN OF

#VIVA LAS VEGAS FOR MAYOR OF PORTLAND?

What is real and what is visionary imagination? What is theater, and what is radical feminist propaganda? Which project will the audience ultimately choose?

Eleanor O’Brien, longtime artistic director for Dance Naked Creative, has been called a “sex-positive superstar” by the Willamette Week and “a visionary” by Oregon Arts Watch. She has been a frequent contributor to The Fertile Ground Festival (her Inviting Desire series launches at the inaugural festival in 2009) and her latest contribution is the fifth installment of the Plan V series (which includes The Cult of Cunnilingus, The Joyful Cult of Pussy Worship, Pussy Parables & Epiphanies, and Viva La Vulvalution). She has raised the stakes on what theater can BE, and is using the medium of zoom in an entirely unique and immersive way. Welcome to the VULVALUTION!

Broadway World Review:

"I have seen a lot of Zoom theatre, but never anything like this. Eleanor O’Brien has seriously raised the bar. Plan V: Acts of Pleasure (Activism) is the third installment in her series about a future “Great Awakening” of goddess worship and holding sacred the divine feminine. Plan V is a cult dedicated to such worship, and the show takes the form of a meeting with the audience as cult members. It starts out with some icebreakers of games and art, and then moves to official business. The most important item on the agenda is voting on what member passion project we want to support – after all, this cult is all about activism!

As with the previous installments in the series, this is sex positive theatre – and it gets graphic! But it’s also about the struggles of overcoming shame and other challenges associated with intimacy. Wherever you are on the spectrum of comfort with yourself as a sexual being, you will find this a safe space.

I am a fan of O’Brien’s work in general, but what really impressed me here were the technical aspects. I spend a lot of my day on Zoom, and I have no idea how she accomplished what she did – seriously next-level Zooming. It was like being in a real meeting (a good one, not a work one), and even though it was all staged, I felt accountable for carrying out my role as a cult member to the best of my ability.

Overall, this show was a delightful step into a fantasy of the future where pleasure is the highest level of enlightenment. If we’re all going to join a cult, it might as well be one like that!
