THIS IS WHAT I WANT FESTIVAL 2015: desire as fuel.

We want you.

What do you want?

Each year, the THIS IS WHAT I WANT performance festival asks its artists and audiences to explore their desires. This year, Tessa Wills and crystal am nelson present a triple bill of artists revealing hidden desires, unheard voices and invisible body parts.

Come to the festival and enter an unapologetically erotically embodied space.
See Cristina Victor’s TED talk style lecture lead by Victor’s ASS. Pale Breast invites audience members to probe their relationship to power and control through direct manipulation of the performer’s body. In Gigi Otálvaro-Hormillosa’s “Psychic Gold,” she converses with historical and contemporary figures to reflect on female “masculinities.”

Manipulate Pale Breast. Shake your ass with Cristina. Watch Gigi work her psychic gold.
Stoke the fire of your desire by immersing yourself in THIS IS WHAT I WANT 2015.


SPECIAL NOTE: MAY 29TH NUDE NIGHT
TIWIW 2015 will present an intimate, clothing-optional night of performances on Friday, May 29th. Audience members who chose to participate will be taxed $5 per item of clothing (excluding socks and shoes) as an invitation to share in the state of vulnerability with performers, exploring a shared intimacy. Think extreme coat-check.


THIS IS WHAT I WANT Festival Symposium
CounterPulse, June 3rd, 8pm


Festival Symposium led by crystal am nelson. Delve into hidden desire in relation to race as proposed by the artists’ work.

Be visible. Cruise Smarter.
