O FACE AWARD FOR ORGASMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF A PRODUCTION
Sponsored by Orgasmico Theatre Company LLC
Description
“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 Award: We at Orgasmico Theatre Company LLC would like to single out one production to each receive our O Face Award for forging that all-important 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.”
Qualifications
An “Orgasmic Production” 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 their parts; the show that doesn’t just take the audience to the edge, but hurls them over, and as they fall faster and faster into the story, their face takes on the shape of an O.
Past winner: Butt Kapinski (Hollywood Fringe 2013)
Methodology
Myself (Michael Shaw Fisher) and one or two other members of my company would reach out to the community to field interest for “O Face” consideration, and after we have seen as many Fringe shows as physically possible, we will deliberate and choose our winners based on the described criteria.
Reward
The Award Itself – Each winner is presented with an O Face statuette with their category. And a graphic to use for the purpose of publicity. We will publicize winners on our website and in a press release.
