UIOK 42: May Contain Sex Scenes with Sabrina Martin

Welcome to the Uncomfortable is OK podcast, I’m your host Chris Desmond. Today is episode 42 and I’m having a conversation with Sabrina Martin. Today’s show with Sabrina. It was a bit of good fortune that we got to chat, I was in the process of organising a chat with a future guest of the podcast who pointed me in Sabrina’s direction and told me that she would be a great fit for the show. Sabrina is a performance artist based here in Wellington. She is about to put on a show in the Fringe festival called, May contain Sex Scenes. MAY CONTAIN SEX SCENES is a vibrant, mischievous, liberating physical breakdown of our social taboos around discussions of female sexual experience. I’m heading along to the show this Sunday and am nervously looking forward to it. Today we take a dive into the artistic process, I find out what it takes to put on a show with specific regard to a solo show in this instance. We discuss exploring and taking back the female sexual experience, well Sabrina does and I try and ask appropriate and insightful questions. Today there are unintentional sex puns, sex metaphors, making your own sex menu, discussion about breaking down the social taboos around talking about sex, as always there is conversation about the challenges, and Sabrina fills us in on why she hates raisins and sultanas with the fire of 1000 burning suns. This is a pretty open discussion so thanks for taking the time to get uncomfortable with us today.   Guest: Sabrina Martin Pat-a-cake Productions Facebook Event CoLiberate Mentioned in the show: Sex Nerd Sandra Host: Chris Desmond Facebook Instagram Twitter Music: Jeremy Desmond Music
