unbound s/he: ejaculating beauty
by Aimee Herman
AND
What Makes You Think You’re the One
Created and Performed by Laryssa Husiak
Tickets: $15 / $12 (stu/sen)

unbound s/he: ejaculating beauty: Aimee Herman utilizes music, movement and language to translate the stories of one queer body as it unravels itself in patches of narration. unbound s/he: ejaculating beauty is a funny, sexy, and revealing portrayal of one particular journey through queerness, gender and the complications of labels.
AND
What Makes You Think You’re the One: In a trio of live music videos, solo artist Laryssa Husiak explores the sexualization of women through repetitive thrusts and blank stares. Don’t worry, it’s not as ball-busting as it sounds: she is wearing a groovy swimsuit. The result is a ferocious dance party spun out of some classic tunes

Aimee Herman is a performative poet who has been featured at various NY venues such as Wow Cafe Theater, Sidewalk Cafe, and Happy Ending Lounge and reading series such as Sideshow: Queer Lit Carnival, The Red Umbrella Diaries, Hyper Gender, and In the Flesh erotic salon. She can be read in anthologies such as Best Women’s Erotica 2010 (Cleis Press), Nice Girls, Naughty Sex (Seal), hell strung and crooked (Uphook Press), and Focus on the Fabulous: Colorado GLBT Writers. Aimee can be found sucking up subway steam, searching for flames big enough to burn bras and unnecessary labels, and is highly turned on by black ink pilot pens, peanut butter, and half-sour pickles.

Laryssa Husiak is a performer and writer. She is an active member of Theater of a Two-Headed Calf and its Dyke Divison and Room for Cream – a live lesbian soap opera. Former collaborations include Taylor Mac’s Red Tide Blooming, Nick Brooke’s Border Towns and Red Terror Squad’s Family Bed. Her solo work has been performed throughout the city at venues such as Dixon Place, HERE and La MaMa.
