An autofiction writing workshop about our sexual and erotic utopias.

Camille Husson leads the Let’s Talk About Sexual Utopia writing workshop which is related to her show. Participants are invited to discover auto-fictional writing, based on their sexual and/or erotic memories and experiences. Auto-fiction blurs the lines between what is real and what is imaginary, making it possible to go wherever you like and tell your story however you like. This workshop is designed to encourage us to take ownership of our sexuality, question our pornographic imaginations, flip what may be obvious on its head, and free our senses.
Camille Husson is the author of the show SEXPLAY Nos Panthères Nos Joyaux :

” There was a young girl who came to see the show SEXPLAY Nos Panthères Nos Joyaux at FAME and the next day, she brought all her friends along to the second performance and they talked about it all night, exchanging views on their sexual practices, their relationships with others, their own bodies, etc. She was happy to see how the world of sex and sexuality had been liberated within their group and she asked me this question:

– Is this show utopian? Because there are a lot of sexual relationships in life that are useless, unpleasant or unconsented, aren’t there?
Yes, I’ve concentrated on memories linked to pleasure. SEXPLAY, PLAY, and I’ve deliberately liberated this narrative of my disastrous or inconsequential experiences… All apart from one! …

– But this shouldn’t be utopian! She exclaimed. That’s what our sex lives should be about, pleasure!”

As I sincerely believe that imagination can open the door to new ways of living, I propose a day of sharing, connecting to our senses, and recording our experiences using words. By recalling our sensual experiences of childhood, adolescence and adulthood, we will rediscover a unique, intimate and political material for inventing new erotic and/or pornographic horizons. This workshop, in which we’ll write oral narratives while working on sensuality, is offered in a safe, respectful and supportive environment.
