DESCRIPTION:*  Award-winning writer/performer Kimberly Dark debuts Dykeotomy in San 
 Francisco\n\n* A funny, erotic, game of gender dodge ball – told from the 
 lover’s perspective!\n\n* Audiences will question their relationships to 
 biology, culture and sex – and get turned on in the process!\n\n* Center 
 for Sex and Culture, 1519 Mission Street (between 11th and So. Van Ness) 
 \n\nJoin Kimberly Dark for four performances of Dykeotomy, a new solo 
 performance for everyone who has gender – examined or not. In Dykeotomy, 
 Dark narrates a tale of modern gender confusion – this time from the 
 perspective of the gender-normative female lover! What does sexual 
 orientation mean when gender shifts? What did it ever mean in the context 
 of masculine lives in female-sexed bodies? Dark’s hilarious interactions 
 with the audience regarding her confusion with dating are interspersed with 
 her signature poetic stories -- tightly crafted, highly moving social 
 snapshots.\n\nIn one story, Dark relays the tale of two friends having two 
 hysterectomies – one by choice, one from illness. Dark leads the audience 
 to question the role of biology in creating happiness – both in theory 
 and in practice. Other stories explore performative gender foibles of 
 strap-on sex, topping and bottoming and how sex and theory are not always 
 discussed in different venues.\n\nA practicing sociologist, (Cal State San 
 Marcos) Kimberly Dark transforms her controversial views on gender and 
 female sexuality into a program of intimate, fluid exchange of ideas and 
 personal adventures. She is an extraordinary performance artist whose 
 unique blend of poetry and "stand-up story telling" has impressed audiences 
 around the world. The Evening Echo of Cork Ireland calls her "a force to be 
 reckoned with on every level." Audience responses from workshop 
 performances of Dykeotomy lauded the balance and juxtaposition of sex and 
 message. "The way Kimberly spoke on erotic content was beautifully poetic. 
 To speak with such depth and eloquence on topics considered taboo was 
 refreshing and uplifting." Another audience member said "[Dykeotomy] helped 
 me feel more intensely about my own relationship with ambiguity and 
 challenges with the either/or of current gender identity. It made me think 
 about gender over cultural time and sexuality through different feminisms." 
 Another quoted "I really enjoyed you speaking the unspoken – gender, 
 love, acceptance. Dyke feminist sexuality."\n\nShowtimes: November 5 @ 7
