O FACE AWARD FOR ORGASMIC ACHIEVEMENT
Sponsored by Orgasmico Theatre Company
Description
Our “Orgasmic” definition:
“Great spiritual teachers throughout the ages have stated that orgasm is the closest some people come to a spiritual experience because of the momentary loss of self. Why is this true? Because with spiritual sex, you move beyond orgasm into a connection with yourself, your partner, and the divine — recognizing them all as one.”
-Alexandra Katehakis – Clinical Director of the Center for Healthy Sex in Los Angeles
Our Goal: We at Orgasmico Theatre Company LLC would like to single out one production or one performer to receive THE O FACE AWARD for forging a connection between artist, audience and the divine, bringing all three together in an explosive* theatrical experience that transcends convention and can only be regarded as “Orgasmic.”
**Please keep in mind this is not necessarily a sexual aspect to a show (i.e. nudity or sexuality) – so even if your show isn’t sexual in nature it can still be considered!
We will select EITHER the “Most Orgasmic Production” or the “Most Orgasmic Performer” to be the recipient of our award. The two categories:
The “MOST ORGASMIC PRODUCTION” winner could be from any fringe category (comedy, drama, solo, musical, physical theatre etc…) Direction, design and ensemble achievement are all contributing factors of a great show, but ultimately we seek the production that is more than the sum of its parts, and hurls the audience over the edge.
The “MOST ORGASMIC PERFORMER” is a mad priest/priestess who seduces the audience, unites them intimately with the character they are playing, and ultimately brings the whole theatrical ritual to an unforgettable climax.
Qualifications
To be considered, each show would need to provide 1-2 complimentary seats to one performance.
Yes. It’s that easy.
Methodology
Consideration:
Feel free to reach out to the company in regards to consideration, and honestly, the sooner the better because our schedule fills up fast. (*And please keep in mind, it isn’t humanly possible for us to see every show we’d like to. Fringe is only a month and there are almost 400 shows, so if yours is missed, our sincerest apologies!)
We will also be reaching out to specific productions which by their description or buzz seem particularly “orgasmic.”
Rules and Methodology:
An Orgasmico member will be in attendance to assess each production’s “orgasmic” quality. (*This is not necessarily a sexual aspect to the show – please see description above) A single winner is determined within the Orgasmico company in one of the two categories.
Reward
The winner will be announced at the Hollywood Fringe Closing Night Award Show where they will receive THE O FACE statuette.
