HE brings ShameNoShame! to Europe
Donation protected
Harvey Rabbit & Ev Briere is \"HE: a Genderstranged Duet\", and our first original show, called \"ShameNoShame!\", is a clown play (directed by Dan Griffiths) like you\'ve never seen before!
What is right? What is wrong? What molds do we, as women, endeavor to fit ourselves into in order to be sexy, desired, loved? What if the natural states of our appetites are somehow "unacceptable?\" - are there emotional and social consequences to the expression of our pleasure?
ShameNoShame! is an unapologetic and ridiculous glimpse at sexuality and how we try to define and use it in our society.
HE opened the show on June 12, at The Garage (975 Howard st), as part of the National Queer Arts Festival. It was a great success: very unique, shocking, and hilarious!
Now HE is having too much fun to stop there, so we\'ve decided to take the plunge and bring \"ShameNoShame! to Berlin, Prague, and beyond!!
Your generous donations will help us get to Europe, and travel between cities where we\'ll be performing. It\'ll also help us gather the props and costumes we need for setting up the show abroad, as well as pay for rehearsal space for the three months we\'ll be spending there.
We are also organizing a big fundraiser-performance-lounge party on August 26th, in San Francisco, at The Garage. It\'ll be your last chance to see ShameNoShame! before we cross the Atlantic.
Stay tuned for all the details and a list of wonderful performers that will join us in throwing together this benefit!
Thank you, from the big bottom of our clown hearts!

Bios:
Harvey Rabbit is an interdisciplinary performer and burlesque clown. She has an MFA in Experimental Theatre and Clowning from New College of California and is a graduate of the San Francisco Clown Conservatory. In 2007, She was a resident artist at the CESTA \"Waste\" Festival in Tábor, Czech Republic and performed her one-woman show \"Madge\'s Box\" in the 2008 San Francisco Fringe Festival. Formerly wordy and following a two year hiatus from performance, she began the process of ShameNoShame! as a way to get away from words on stage.
Ève Brière completed her M.A. in \"Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness\" before choosing to dedicate herself to physical theater, clowning and performance. She has trained with the SF Mime Troupe, James Donlon at the Flying Actor Studio, and studied at the Clown Conservatory (\'11). Ev enjoys exploring issues of power and gender dynamics, while pressing against the boundaries of what tends to be culturally accepted, acknowledge, and comfortable. She was honored to collaborate with Harvey on ShameNoShame!
