THE 2018 O FACE AWARD FOR ORGASMIC ACHIEVEMENT
Sponsored by Orgasmico Theatre Company
Description
It is with great excitement that we announce 6th Annual the Orgasmico Theatre Company’s O FACE AWARD for Orgasmic Achievement! Now…you may be wondering what we exactly mean by "orgasmic”…
Here’s a quote:
“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 would like to single out one performer to receive our 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.”
Details about the award:
The “Orgasmic Performer” 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 a mad priest/priestess who seduces the audience, unites them intimately with the character they are playing, and doesn’t just bring the whole theatrical ritual to the edge of climax but hurls us over, and as we the audience falls faster and faster into the story being told, our faces take on the shape of the letter “O.”
Qualifications
To qualify for the O Face your show does NOT need to be sexual in nature. Performers do not need to literally be portraying sex on the stage. Your show does however need to be registered with the Hollywood Fringe. *Also, performers in staged readings will not be considered. Other than that ALL forms of theatrical art are viable contenders.
Methodology
Members of the Ovation Award-Winning Orgasmico Theatre Company will attend productions willing to be considered, and those which peak our interest. From there members will convene to come to a consensus on our O Face nominees and winner.
Reward
Esteemed winner will receive a statuette at the Closing Night Awards Ceremony and a “Certified Orgasmic” graphic logo for future marketing purposes.
