AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

The final episode of the Let Me Be Frank series, “Teacher of Possibilities”, describes Frank’s shamanistic apprenticeship, and his understanding of the student-teacher relationship as an experiential, non-western approach to the magical work of evolving the human mind/spirit. Frank explores the roles of the apprentice and teacher in this evolutionary process, and how the students link together with the teacher to create an alternate community within the larger cultural frame. “Teacher of Possibilities” also contains an extended piece from the musical dance jam celebration held shortly after Frank passed away, featuring a remembrance by Frank’s longtime friend and ENT doctor Richard Kerbavaz and a reading of Frank’s last poem, “Wide Open”.

Let Me Be Frank
Episode 19 – Private Rituals

“Private Rituals” explores Frank’s use of private or secret rituals both within and outside of his public performances, and how they powerfully affect one another. He also describes the role of the artist in society, and the important tool that private ritual gives the artist to bring “new dreams, new myths, new visions into society”. This episode also includes the story of how Frank and Linda first met Barbara Golden, and a brand new episode of the animated series, “How to Handle an Anthropologist”.

The readings in this segment are by Barbara Golden and Linda Mac. Barbara Golden is a musician, composer, writer and artist, and member of many bands, including being a frequent member of Frank Moore’s Cherotic All-Star band, and frequent guest on his Shaman’s Den streaming video show. Linda Mac was Frank’s lover and partner in crime for almost 40 years, and produces the Let Me Be Frank series with Michael LaBash. Music by Barbara Golden, Frank Moore, Vinnie Spit Santino, Vinnie Corbo, and Tha Archivez.

Episode 18 – The Dynamics

“The Dynamics” takes us deep into the core of Frank Moore’s performance work, detailing Frank’s theories of how private performance affects the outer world. Drawing on concepts from quantum physics and Chaos Theory, Frank talks about how his private work, both in performance and in his one-to-one work with students, expands private personal rituals into the realm of myths and the universals, and can create change and effect in the outer world through nonlinear channels of influence. This episode also includes a conversation with experimental electronic musician LX Rudis, and a brand new episode of the animated series, “How to Handle an Anthropologist”.

The reading in this segment is by Veronica Vera, former porn star, sexual explorer, activist, human sexuality author, and founder of the world’s first cross-gender academy. Music by Frank Moore, Vinnie Corbo, Vinnie Spit Santino, Sander Roscoe Wolff, Vinnie Spit Santino’s Ensemble Abstract Band, and Manta.

Let Me Be Frank is a video series based on the life and art of shaman, performance artist, writer, poet, painter, rock singer, director, TV show host, teacher and bon vivant, Frank Moore.

Let Me Be Frank
Episode 17 – Art of Smallness

The latest episode, “Art of Smallness” follows Frank and Linda in Berkeley in the early 1980s, focusing mainly on Frank’s performance series at UC Berkeley. Frank described it as a “lab” where he could explore and experiment in freedom without “pressures of money or judgement”. Frank describes how these performances provided the context for many “discoveries of smallness”, intimate rituals and modules that Frank would use for years afterward in different and evolving ways.

The reading in this segment is by performance artist, painter, and advocate for mentally disabled artists and individuals, Linda Carmella Sibio. Music by Frank Moore, Vinnie Corbo, Vinnie Spit Santino, Sander Roscoe Wolff, Mutant Press, and Lori B.

Let Me Be Frank
Episode 16 – Eroplay

“Eroplay”, the sixteenth episode in the Let Me Be Frank series, is a deep visual, erotic and mind-expanding journey into Frank Moore’s concept of “Eroplay”. Moore coined the word “eroplay” in the 1980s to define the “physical/spiritual” energy that he had been exploring in his work for years. This episode gives the historical context and evolution of this concept/word and an expanded definition of eroplay, with amazing footage spanning years of Frank’s public and private performance work.

The readings in this segment are by sex therapist, author, filmmaker, cable TV talk show host and cultural commentator Dr. Susan Block; and by Fred Hatt, an artist working in many different media, including body art, performance, photography and poetry. Music by Frank Moore, Frank Moore’s Chero Company, Michael LaBash, Vinnie Spit Santino, Tha Archivez, and Extreme Elvis.
