High Steaks

Try looking at your genitals in the mirror (or feeling them if you can't see them) and recreate what you find as art.



Take in the details


The folds


The wrinkles


Messy hair


Beauty spots


Zits, blemishes


Textures, colours


Fatty, fleshy


Flappy, floppy


Dangly


Long, short



Observe



Take your paintbrush or your pencil or your pen or your whatever who cares just


Capture what is there



It's actually pretty cool.


Turns out most of us feel ashamed of our genitals


Ashamed to think about them

Talk about them

Look at them


I just think everyone should see this show

Eloina would sort us right out.

If everyone saw what she was doing,

Started thinking like her,

Really got into it,

Society would be much better.


That's it really.

I don't want to spoil the show - I'd rather let her say it for herself.


All I will say is, it's quite intense to come face to face with the truth sometimes

At times, this is not a pleasant show

At certain points, I think she could cut it down cos it gets a bit much



But somehow, High Steaks is one of the most important shows I've seen this year.

Eloina just breathes on stage

She does very little, in a way

She just *is* -

Free

Easy

Human

And totally, totally open.

Generous with her audience to an extent I haven't encountered before

And refreshingly, overwhelmingly kind towards herself.

She allows us, the audience, to be kind with her and in turn, we can start to look inwards with kindness and curiosity towards ourselves. Our own sore points. The bits we maybe never quite contended with.


Eloina soothes our collective wounds with the tender power of her presence.

Undaunted

Relaxed

Liberated
