The telethon functions both as a showcase for artists to present new, experimental work in a low-pressure environment, as well as a demonstration of how a community can effectively define its needs and empower itself.   The broadcast can be watched live online at EternalTelethon.com and will feature a wide range of creative contributions from over 150 artists.

SUN APR 24: PERFORMANCE: Alex Romania: JERK 7:30PM, $10 

This physically vulnerable choreography frames the male body between violence and pleasure -- a microphone is bound to the body and swung from the pelvis evoking forms in the realm of BDSM, pornography, athletics, games, and  flagellation.    Through genital hypnosis and rigorous discomfort, this is a dance of (narcissistic) pleasure and (quiet) longing, (self) mutilation and (self) care. A dance to flatten and complexify the male body, to tenderize the flesh, to move beyond and to newly inhabit — a phallic solo to recompose the phallus.

MON APR 25: CONVERSATION: Friends Series #3: James Benning and Sharon Lockhardt 7-9PM 

Please note: This event is held at LACA2245 E Washington Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90021
