True art (whatever that means, lol) about bdsm. I want very badly to see this.

I did a search online and found more reviews - all very positive, saying much the same thing. The British Theatre Guild reviewer mentioned the playright's bravery in allowing some scenes about the couple's extra-sexual life together to be mundane, boring.

Thank you for this posting. I will start looking for it to be performed both here and in NYC.

No pain, no gain

Edinburgh offers an airing for plays that later cause a national stir. S&M drama Special is a case in point

Sex sells. Sex on stage sells out. And as the public relations adviser for the play Special confidently informed me, “put S&M in the title and you are guaranteed a full house”. It’s probably true, but at the Edinburgh Festival the number of productions that opportunistically employ shock sex tactics to get bums on seats means that pretty much every sacred cow has already been slaughtered. From bestiality to topless women in wheel-chairs, it’s all been done before with varying degrees of success, and, somewhat predictably, when you type S&M into this year’s Edinburgh Festival search engine, Special is not the only show to come up. However, I suspect it is the one worth seeing.

Tackling what is still one of the most demonised forms of sexuality is a masochistic challenge for any writer or director, but John Keates has managed to steer his story clear of predictable clichés by containing the sexual exploration within the confines of a very “normal” domestic relationship. By avoiding the stereotypes of rubber clubs and torture gardens, the audience can identify with what is happening on stage in a way that would not otherwise be possible.

Through the course of the play, two characters, Emily and Steve, hang out in their living room, drink G&T, act out their S&M fantasies, get married and get pregnant. Emily is the “top”, the dominant one. Candle wax, thumb tacks, clothes pegs and deep heat are the tools of her trade and the contrast between her sadistic sexual tastes and her maternal instinct make uncomfortable viewing. In Special, the fantasy roles of bondage, pain, punishment and submission seem to have no place in a relationship that confounds us with its ordinariness. Though we know S&M happens, we like to keep it at arm’s length. The dominatrix, for example, is usually reduced to a kind of caricature Miss Whiplash so that she can be easily separated from “normal” women. By forcing us to face the sight of a functional, articulate, happily married woman taking pleasure from walking on her husband’s testicles wearing stilettos, Keates leaves us feeling conflicted.

S&M may not be a mainstream sexual practice, but there are millions of web pages devoted to the subject and images of female fetish and bondage are employed in advertising all the time. Verifiable statistics are hard to find, but it is estimated that 14 per cent of men and 11 per cent of women have engaged in BDSM (bondage, domination, sadism, masochism). It is hard for someone who has never experienced pain as an erotic pleasure to understand the attraction of S&M, but Derek Cohen, the chairman of the Spanner Trust, puts it well: “If I were to run my fingers down your back it would be a pleasant experience. If I were to use my nails you might enjoy that, too. If I were to press harder still you might find it too painful, but another person might enjoy the intensity of the sensation.

“How you perceive pain is largely contextual. If a person is being punished against their will then it is pure pain, but if a person is being punished in a consensual power exchange the pain is eroticised.”

People find S&M relationships confusing because they defy traditional assumptions about power within a partnership. As part of his research Keates visited a dominatrix who explained that, contrary to popular opinion, S&M is not just about the dominant person getting what he or she wants; it is about power sharing.

In a consensual S&M relationship there is no abuse, no violence and no lasting injury. Couples agree code words or gestures in advance to signal when the pain becomes too intense, and this means that the needs and desires of the submissive are actually the priority. The power exchange is intellectual, too. When Steve says “She lets me embrace my failings and after that my daily life is easy” he explains how, for many submissives, S&M play is true freedom, a holiday from control and responsibility.

Fortunately, Keates doesn’t attempt to explain any of these technicalities.

Had he fallen victim to the understandable urge to educate his audience, or tried to create a representation of what he thought an S&M couple might look and sound like, Special would be anything but. Instead Keates arrived at the existing script through an intense period of improvisation, a process that allowed him and his acting partner to work out the physical, emotional and intellectual responses that a couple engaged in S&M might experience. They spent several weeks locked in a hotel room working out what actions and exchanges heightened the charge between them. Keates believes that it is this process of personal exploration that will give Emily and Steve’s relationship credible intensity and, hopefully, he says with a grin, “leave the audience feeling intellectually, and, hell, why not, physically stimulated”.

Indie sex series spotlights queer film
By Gary M. Kramer

The documentary series “Indie Sex,” premiering at midnight Aug. 1-4 on IFC and repeating throughout the month, showcases what’s queer — in all senses of the word — about depictions of sexuality in cinema. Lesbian filmmaker Lesli Klainberg, working with documentarian Lisa Ades, presents the various ways that sex, both straight and gay, has been portrayed in American and international cinema.

http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m71/worldrebecca/johncameronmitchell.jpg

JOHN CAMERON MITCHELL, "SHORTBUS," "HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH"​

The four-part television series features “Censored” films, “Taboos,” “Teens” and “Extremes.” The programs all herald the importance of independent films in particular — it is the Independent Film Channel, after all — but even so, the films miss the opportunity to explore some of the more important independent films and filmmakers who explore sexuality, such as Gregg Araki, Everett Lewis and Pedro Almodovar.

What will appeal to queer viewers is the fact that many of the talking heads are out actors, filmmakers and critics, and clips from classic gay and lesbian features unspool throughout the various programs. That said, while it is interesting to have folks like Lee Daniels and John Cameron Mitchell discussing how they approach sex in their work for the screen, it seems strange to have recording artists Billy Porter and Ari Gold as interviewees.

“Censored,” the opening entry in the series, is easily the weakest of the four documentaries. This film traces the way Hollywood rates movies starting from the days before the Production Code (aka Hays Code) — which restricted screen content from 1934-67— to the envelope-pushing NC-17 films that are released today. Yet while landmark films such as “Midnight Cowboy,” “Henry and June” and “Showgirls” are mentioned, what is said is not particularly new or insightful. Most viewers already are familiar with these queer-themed, explicitly sexual and controversial films. “Midnight Cowboy” won the Oscar for Best Picture. “Henry and June” was the first film to be rated NC-17 and “Showgirls” was a box-office flop. What is important is why these films were made, and how they are received by critics and audiences.

http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m71/worldrebecca/MATARAZZOHeather.jpg

HEATHER MATARAZZO, "PRINCESS DIARIES," "WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE"​

The “Taboos” documentary showcases provocative films that address issues of sexual power, such as Steven Soderbergh’s “Sex, Lies and Videotape,” David Lynch’s “Blue Velvet” and David Cronenberg’s “Crash,” as well as queer films such as “The Opposite of Sex” and “Chuck and Buck” to show how sex can be presented on screen as uncomfortable and/or unerotic. As John Waters admits, the sex scenes in all his films are deliberately “hideous and ridiculous.” Waters says the most outrageous thing he could ever film would be a man and a woman in the missionary position.

The “Teens” program looks at the history of how kids grappled with sexuality as depicted in cinema from the 1950s to the present. The show chronicles the waves of “boundary pushing” — particularly in the early 1980s with films such as “Little Darlings,” “The Blue Lagoon” and “Porky’s.” Significantly, there was, the filmmakers indicate, a swing away from those horny teenager/losing-virginity movies once AIDS hit public consciousness. The impact of how sex was portrayed shifted dramatically at this time and John Hughes’ teen films along with “safe” period romances like “Dirty Dancing” became the norm. Out actresses Heather Matarazzo and Guinevere Turner gush about the excitement of seeing teen sex on screen in films as diverse as “Dirty Dancing” and the raunchier “Porky’s.”

Significantly, it would be almost a decade before films such as Larry Clark’s controversial “Kids” appeared, featuring an HIV-positive young man (Leo Fitzpatrick) who deflowers virgins.

There is also considerable talk in the “Teens” program about the representation of gay and lesbian youth, with special focus on out filmmakers. Writer Todd Stephens is interviewed about his coming-out/coming-of-age film “Edge of Seventeen” (directed by David Moreton) and Jamie Babbit’s lesbian-identity crisis/coming-out comedy “But I’m a Cheerleader” is featured in this segment. Stephens adamantly talks about wanting to show gay teenage sex as “hot and awkward” and not “glossed over.” Likewise, Babbit wishes there had been films like “Cheerleader” when she was a teenager.

The last entry in the series, “Extremes,” addresses how kinks and fetishes are portrayed in films such as Waters’ “A Dirty Shame” and the S&M drama “Secretary” among others. While this episode retreads ground covered in the “Censored” program — there is another look at the groundbreaking films “Last Tango in Paris” and “Shortbus” — it also looks at edgier, foreign films such as Catherine Brelliant’s “Anatomy of Hell,” which features a gay man watching a woman’s nude body; Gaspar Noe’s shocking rape scene in “Irreversible” and Michael Winterbottom’s “9 Songs,” which features un-simulated sex acts. This entry also does a good job handling the risqué/sensitive subjects of pedophilia, represented by “Lolita,” and necrophilia as depicted in “Kissed” as well as showing how BDSM is played for laughs in “Exit to Eden” or as bad drama in “9 1⁄2 Weeks.” But again, the filmmakers miss the opportunity to discuss important independent films like “L.I.E.,” which depicted queer pedophilia, or “Beyond Vanilla,” a documentary about fetishes.

Curiously, many of the films and issues presented in these documentaries were handled much more effectively in Kirby Dick’s documentary, “This Film Is Not Yet Rated,” and yet the “Indie Sex” film series is worthwhile for reminding viewers about the edgy films that they should seek out and see in their entirety.
 
Sigh! If only I had access to IFC during that time! Will be moving sis across the country. BTW, had no idea that Heather Matarazzo was out. Yea! :nana: Thank you, Dr. R! :rose: Neon

Leather Pride is here!
Mister Marcus
hatchetq@aol.com

http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m71/worldrebecca/Marcus_ArtMama_39_lrg.jpg

Founder of Leather Walk Art Tomaszewski (L.) poses here with "Mama" just before stepping off for Leather Walk 2007. The event raised over $25,000 this year. Total since the Leather Walk began, $222,000 all for the AIDS Emergency Fund and now the Breast Cancer Emergency Fund as well.​


It's Leather Pride Week in San Francisco, and if you're not exhausted already, this Sunday will see leather folk from around the world sampling all that is unique in the leather essence of San Francisco at the 24th annual Folsom Street Fair.

The week started Sunday, September 23 with the annual Leather Walk from the Castro to South of Market. Under overcast skies, an enthusiastic crowd gathered at the 440 Castro bar to participate in the two and a half-mile walk that benefits the AIDS Emergency Fund and the Breast Cancer Emergency Fund.

Diligent people had been soliciting pledges from friends, lovers, co-workers, and leather-friendly people. Volunteers registered the walkers, and getting the line-up ready. The event was overshadowed by the news that former Empress XXXV Suzie Wong, a great friend of the leather community, had died earlier Sunday morning of complications from cancer. Organizers had previously decided that the walk would be dedicated to Wong. Community members were truly saddened to learn of this loss.


At approximately 12:30 p.m., the crew and spectators gathered in the area of the Harvey Milk Plaza to witness what is always an inspiring scene, the raising of the leather pride flag. A 30-foot by 60-foot flag rose to the top of the pole while hundreds cheered and cameras captured the inspiring moment for posterity. The flag remained there until midnight, Sunday.

The walkers assembled on Castro Street with the sound truck and the entertainers headed the contingent, escorted by a police cruiser, and proceeded to walk the distance to the final destination at the Eagle Tavern, with a pit stop at the Powerhouse bar. If there is a leather walk in any other city in this nation or Canada, nobody has informed us. What city has a "gay" plaza? What city has a flagpole solely for a gay or leather flag? What city has a plethora of loyal volunteers who make this leather walk the huge success that it has always been since former Mr. Headquarters Art Tomaszewski conceived the idea as a fundraiser during his title year?

Leather Pride Week has long begun with the Leather Walk. Those who continually and sarcastically ask, "Why do we need titleholders?" need only to witness the Leather Walk and all the money it raises to find an answer. And it's not just leather titleholders who support this event. Pledge money is raised from a variety of sources. It is a pleasure to inform you that over $25,000 was raised for the AEF and BCEF with this year's leather walk.

And if you want an eye-opener, check this out: the Leather Walks over the years since 1992 have raised a whopping $222,000.

Did you know you were a 'switch'?

Mama Reinhardt kibitzes with former Mr. SF Leather Julian Marshburn on Market St. for the 17th annual Leather Walk on Sunday, Sep. 23rd.​


Well, you are Blanche, you are! Last Monday morning, September 17, the powers that be at International Mr. Leather announced that the host hotel for IML XXX next Memorial Day weekend has been switched from the Palmer House Hilton to the Hyatt Regency Chicago. An announcement on IML's Web site stated that the reason was an overwhelming demand for the big 30th anniversary event next year.

IML attendees were advised to cancel their Palmer House reservations and begin anew at the Hyatt. It's difficult to see how this would pose any problems for anyone, but already the groaning has begun. Either go or don't go. Stop your whining. Face it, neither hotel is exactly a "bargain" as far as the rates go, but when you consider the layout of the Hyatt, the vendors should be shouting for joy. Whether IML the competition will be held at the Chicago Theatre again this year is also open to conjecture. Those "in the know" at IML aren't saying anything, so live with the mystery. Stay tuned.


Sirs and boys

The next "biggie," so to speak, is the International Leather Sir/boy and Bootblack competition in Dallas the weekend of October 4-7. Former Mr. Florida Drummer, Lou Molnar, is back on board due to allegedly someone who let Mike Zuhl down "big time." That's what happens when a very poor choice is made – when the whole community knows that selected "helpers" are poor choices.

It's also very disappointing to see that there are no contestants from the New England region, the Florida region, or the Great Plains region. If they have contestants, they are doing a great job of keeping it a secret. Have these regions lost their enthusiasm for the ILS/b concept? Is there a lack of interest or contestants? Are they not capable of pulling it together? These and other questions are plaguing the community. Another situation that is rumbling through on a low tone: Is Drummer magazine coming back? Some well-heeled and genuine leather/bdsm players are in the process of bringing Drummer back and the Mr. Drummer title. You read it here first!
The marchers carried signs that indicated this year's Leather Walk was dedicated to the memory of Empress Suzie Wong, a long-time supporter of the Walk, who had passed over early Sunday morning, Sep. 23rd.

I couldn't possibly list all the events taking place on our turf this week. There is a party/gathering for almost every fetish or inclination. I've heard over and over that IML has/had turned into a "circuit" dance event and there will always be those who want to cash in on the crush of bodies and wallets for these leather weekends and FSE is no different. But the fetishists should have their fill this week what with cigar parties, boot parties, uniform parties, play parties, cha-cha extravaganzas, and you name it. The best thing I can advise is to pick up a copy of the Folsom Street Fair program. Those who were astute enough to schedule their events months ago are listed and the johnny-come-latelies will have to hope their advertisements, fliers and glossy cards will get the word out. The tourists are here; it's great to see the leather banners up on street poles on Folsom. Have a great weekend, be kind to the tourists. Leave your dogs and small children at home. As Folsom Street Events organizers stated this week, "This is an adult street fair."
