DESCRIPTION:Visionary Bay Area choreographer and performance artist Jorge Rodolfo De 
 Hoyos presents the world premiere of STICK on March 12-21 at Mama 
 Calizo’s Voice Factory. De Hoyos brings together a fearless queer male 
 cast that subjects their bodies and their deepest secrets to the 
 voyeuristic eye of the audience. The result is a confrontation with MSM 
 attraction that both shocks and lures the viewer into examining one’s own 
 desires. STICK is a journey through and beyond homoeroticism that asks what 
 forces are at play when two bodies meet? What does it mean to want to 
 watch? What does it mean to want to be watched? Spectators become active 
 participants in this intimate, violent, and tender world where everyone is 
 searching for the answer to what makes us stick.   \n\nIn collaboration 
 with fellow Bay Area performance artists Jesse Hewit, Nathaniel Justiniano 
 and Ernesto Sopprani, De Hoyos mines the tumultuous experience of MSM 
 desire with an aesthetic inspired by the surreal imagery and physical 
 abstractions of the artist Pina Bausch; the fractured, cerebral aesthetic 
 of filmmaker Jean Luc Godard; and the chaotic condition of our post-modern, 
 high-speed, globalized society. The cast risks more than the revelation of 
 their flesh, but their very own private dreams and profane imaginations in 
 an unfiltered performance that is at times combative and fragmentary, at 
 other times mired in solitude, but always relentlessly authentic.    \n\nA 
 new voice in the San Francisco dance and theatre worlds, Jorge Rodolfo De 
 Hoyos was awarded a D.I.Y. Residency at Mama Calizo’s Voice Factory, the 
 city’s new home for emerging queer experimental artists, to support the 
 development of this original work. Over the last year De Hoyos has 
 collaborated with veteran Bay Area performance artists Erica Shuck in After 
 All and Keith Hennessy in Delinquent, both performed at the Yerba Buena 
 Center for the Arts Forum to critical acclaim. Most recently, he was 
 invited to be a resident artist with Galería de la Raza’s Jotos and 
 Homeboys Project where he created and performed scraps, a one-man 
 autoerotic fantasy ritual exploring the desire to find communion with 
 one’s iconic obsession.\n\nAbout Mama Calizo’s Voice Factory:\nMama 
 Calizo's Voice Factory is San Francisco’s EPI-Center for Queer and 
 Activist Performance. Our mission is dedicated to nurturing the development 
 of Queer Performers, Educators and Activists by providing them with Artist 
 in Residence Programs and Arts programming. We believe that the process and 
 product of creative activity have equal value, that all talent is worthy of 
 development, and that artistic expression is essential to our community's 
 health. We place special emphasis on supporting the work of Queer People of 
 Color, Trans People and artists living with HIV/ AIDS. The centerpiece of 
 our arts programming is the D.I.Y. Residency Program. It is designed to 
 provide cutting-edge Bay Area emerging artists with a home to develop their 
 vision and voice. We also instill a sustainable model that encourages 
 artists to think, not only as art makers, but also as entrepreneurs. We 
 mentor residents to develop the skills necessary to sustain a lifetime of 
 art making. The D.I.Y. Residency Program culminates in a world premiere, 
 new work by the participating artist.\n\n\n
