Interview - What is Erotic? with Laura Bishop and the Choreographer known as Ellice

Listen Now to What is Erotic?

For our interview this week we have two of the creators of 2016’s What is Erotic? show, where our community discovers what is erotic this year.  Laura Bishop shares with us some highlights of past shows and with Ellice, lap dance choreographer this year, we delve a bit into the latest performances and the stories behind them.  Keep in mind that the eroticism performed in the show is not by actors, but by real people who wish to express themselves erotically, many for the first time.  Of particular note is that this year the show will be performed outside of Santa Cruz in our large neighboring community of San Jose, near Silicon Valley.  It is an experiment to see if our unique Santa Cruz culture can be exported succesfully.  Enjoy!
