Dykeotomy - "A comic-erotic-drama, “Dykeotomy” is a funny, touching and sexy game of gender dodgeball."

Stories explore performative gender foibles of strap-on sex, topping and bottoming and more. Audiences will question their relationships to biology, culture and sex – and get turned on in the process! Solo performance artist Kimberly Dark narrates a tale of modern gender confusion — from the perspective of the gender-normative female lover. What does sexual orientation mean when gender shifts? What did it ever mean in the context of masculine lives in female-sexed bodies? Kimberly’s hilarious interactions with the audience regarding her confusion with dating are interspersed with her signature poetic stories — tightly crafted, highly moving social snapshots.
Dykeotomy is thought-provoking, moving, sexy and wry; her embodied performance marries great story-telling skills with wonderful, strong stage presence. – Carol Queen, PhD, Director, Center for Sex and Culture “Dark is a warm-hearted, eloquent performer with a poetic speech pattern not dissimilar to one of Laurie Anderson’s avant-garde speak-songs. She’s enthralling and compassionate with a hint of cheekiness.” – Rod Lewis, Performing Arts Critic, Glam Adelaide (Adelaide, Australia)
“Dykeotomy” was an Intercultural Dialogue Award finalist at the 2010 International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival. Curve magazine named “Dykeotomy” one of the top 10 LGBT theater productions of 2009!  “This [Dykeotomy] is one of my favorites, when it comes to your work — so brave and so necessary. I still bring up your performance of Dykeotomy at the SF Center For Sex and Culture when in conversation with community members… and I always feel really emotionally and mentally prepared to make space for many different understandings of and questions around trans allyship because of the ways in which you were so smart and courageous with your words. That show was also the first time I felt like I was given permission to name my own gender, which was monumental for me.” -Audience member Download a PDF or DOC file of Audience Response to Dykeotomy
