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.

Let Me Be Frank
Episode 15 – Sex?

In "Sex?", Frank talks about his own experience of sexuality and physicality through the 1960s and into the early 70s. His public and private performances during this time were experiments in "using the excited, aroused, pleasurable energy in the context of art, of playing, relationship-building -- not in the context of sex." Frank describes how these experiments "reached a climax" in his 1970s Berkeley workshop during the years of the Outrageous Beauty Revue where the group explored new possibilities of physical play, the concept of “marriage”, and Moore examines the results of this experiment.

"Sex?" also features a reading of Frank's poem, "Locked In/Locked Out" from his performance series, "The Uncomfortable Zones of Fun", and a surprise bonus segment!

The reading is by Carl Off, anthropologist, filmmaker, artist, and musician. Music by Frank Moore, Michael LaBash, Sander Roscoe Wolff, Hop-Frog's Drum Jester Devotional, and The Leeches.

Episode 14 of the LET ME BE FRANK web documentary series, “Playing With Reality” explores Frank Moore’s 48-hour performance processes, “back to the core of the ritual work”. During the same period as the Outrageous Beauty Revue, in the late 1970s, Frank started creating 48-hour pieces, altered realities centered around one person, “the pilgrim”, who signed up to obtain a list of life goals.

“Playing With Reality” takes us into the backstage of Moore’s work, describing how he was able to create a liminal performance state, melting normal reality with dream reality for the pilgrim, an “awake dream where all things were possible”.

The reading is by Kenneth Atchley, American composer, noise, drone and video artist, and member of the S.F. Bay Area electronic music community. Music by Kenneth Atchley, Stephen Emanuel and Vinnie Santino.

“Playing With Reality” features film footage and photos from the 48-hour processes themselves, as well as Frank singing “I Am Woman” at L.A.C.E. in Los Angeles in 1992.

The episode also features “48-hour Process”, the 7th installment of “How To Handle An Anthropologist”, a recurring animated feature in the Let Me Be Frank series, from the new book by the same name.

Let Me Be Frank
Episode 13 – The Plot of Fame and Good Taste

In Episode 13 of the LET ME BE FRANK web documentary series, Frank explores the power and effect of art rooted in private rituals/private performances, how this “Shamanistic Art” is needed to expand limited frames around art and creativity, and how art rooted in private channels is better able to resist the need for audience acceptance and societal pressures to tame the art down. Frank also explains his resistance to using the limiting label of “Sexual” to describe his art. This episode features footage from The Outrageous Beauty Revue, one of the major public performances created by Frank Moore that ran for 3 ½ years at the punk venue, the Mabuhay Gardens, in San Francisco in the late 1970s.

Art of a Shaman – Part 1 is a new video presentation of shaman performance artist Frank Moore’s book by the same name. It features readings of the first 10 chapters of the book, with photos, film and video footage from Frank’s life and performances. The chapter readings are by people who played an important part in Frank’s life.

Art of a Shaman - Part 1 includes the chapters, “A Lucky Guy”, “A Wounded Healer”, “Art of Reshaping Reality”, “Roots of Performance”, “A Channel, not a Creator”, “Learning the Trickster’s Art”, “Nonfilms”, “Art of Risking”, “Time, Community, Inter-Relations”, and “Theater of Human Melting”.
