Featured performers: Ernesto Sarezale and Alan Reade.

Ernesto Sarezale lives in London, England. His writing has been
published various places including Magma Poetry. He makes frequent
live performance readings in London. He is a member of the group Gay
London Writers. This is a rare opportunity to see a performance in
San Francisco by this exciting talent. His creative work is
documented on the website www.sarezale.com

Alan Reade is a writer and performer whose work examines how body
image, language, and mass media are internalized. He examines how
individuals in a culture so focused on sex, food, technology, and
television can assimilate large cultural ideas into the components of
singular identity. His central focus has always been the body--both
the literal body and the symbolic body expressed through video
talking heads, Barbie dolls, or even images in tarot cards--and how
that body is shaped by and is shaping American culture. His most
recent performance piece, "Bad Gays" has recently been presented at
the Jon Sims Center in San Francisco.
