Clitoratae
is a dance fantasy. A beautiful, erotic antidote to a world sometimes too
unlovely and too unloving.
Clitoratae is my
playground, and you're very welcome. But before you and your mates buy a
ticket and decide on what to wear, let me introduce you to the rules of
the game and some of the players.

Clitorate
is a concept club. It is trying to do many things and break new ground.
Some of what we are trying to do is explained in the Jan ed. of GCN. So,
please get your hands on a copy if you can.
What we did not have space to talk about in that article is ART. This
club is designed to be a showcase for queer artists/performers. As a
space it also brings queer artists together and creates networks which
might otherwise not exist. Financially, this is a strange mixture of
commercial and community development sensibility. As far as the club can
absorb it, all people bought into the project are paid at a commercial or
near commercial rate. This is in order to give fledgling artists and
companies a break.
In the event that people are not paid by the club, what is on offer
is a pre-arranged barter investment scheme. eg.those folk who, on this
occassion are providing, eg. photographic coverage, have exclusive rights
on covering the club on 10th Feb. and first refusal on the following
Clitoratae's advertising/design work. Because we have set our standards
high, the outlets we'll be using will be great platforms aspirant
artists.
As far as possible, queer artistic community development and
promotion is the name of the game. So, when you see Linda Greene's
coverage of the club, or you catch sight of Ruth running around behind a
camera, or a member of any of the now 4 (yeah we have added someone to
list - don't worry, she WILL introduce herself to you on the night...)
performance companies, or the guys and gals in the dj booth, remember
that YOU put them there! And maybe because you did that, they'll be doing
more of the same next year and in a position to give up the day job.
We employ as MANY people as possible. Clitoratae is a job and wealth
creation scheme for high calibre queer artists, particularly the women.
THEY are the CLITORATAE, and in buying a ticket, so too are YOU.
As far as I go, the woman called Alex who's kinda tired at the
mo(!!!) and who's carrying this baby, I'm out of the financial loop. God
knows, it'd be great to be paid too, but this is a beginning and it's
down to sweat equity at the mo.! I want to declare this information
because I know that ticket prices are higher than what a lot of,
particularly women, are used to paying. For the sceptical and the cynical
of you, and the curious - the books are transparant!
CLITORATAE is, as much as any of the above, an out and out
DANCE/PERFORMANCE SPECTACLE.
So, ladies and gents and all of you who refuse to define (gawd bless
ya'), come look at/be/dance with the Clitoratae. You will have a ball!
