AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

The next episode of the LET ME BE FRANK web documentary series has just been released. Episode 4, “Roots of Performance” features reading by performance artist Annie Sprinkle. Annie Sprinkle is a former prostitute and porn star turned sex educator and artist, was a cast member in several of Frank's performances and workshops, and lists Frank as one of her formal sex teachers. Episode 4 includes the segment, “How Frank & Linda Met Annie Sprinkle”, and features music by Father of Skins, John the Baker, Frank Moore, Michael LaBash, Vinnie Spit Santino, Sander Roscoe Wolff, Mutant Press and Tha Archivez.

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.

The series is partly a biography, but also a presentation of Frank's philosophy on life and on art. Twenty-plus episodes have been planned based on Frank’s book, Art Of A Shaman, which was originally delivered as a lecture at New York University in 1990 as part of the conference “New Pathways in Performance”. Each episode will feature readings by people who played an important part in Frank’s life, either as friends, lovers, students, artistic collaborators or supporters of his art.

Let Me Be Frank presents Frank's exploration of performance and art as being a magical way to effect change in the world ... performance as an art of melting action, of ritualistic shamanistic doings/playings. Using Frank’s career and life as a "baseline", it explores this dynamic playing within the context of reality shaping.

The series is available on Frank’s website at http://eroplay.com/letmebefrank/ and on Vimeo at https://vimeo.com/channels/letmebefrank
