Erotic Fundraiser
Tue, 16 Mar 2010, 03:51 pm As a fundraiser for a film project, ‘Erotic readings’ was presented for one night, in the Velvet lounge at the Flying Scotsman in Mt. Lawley, Perth.
Although many of the items were offered as simple moved-readings, a great deal of work had been put into the evening. One of the readings was an early twentieth century erotic masterpiece by Anais Nin, whilst others were superbly written, candid pieces from the actors’ university creative writing courses, with some uninhibited and funny articles by various well-known, young stage celebrities. All of the stories were extremely explicit, but told with such quality that Oscar Wilde and D. H. Lawrence would be proud to call them their own. The audience went with the flow and loved the brave presentation.
The night had rude challenges in the form of games. The task involving pink Playdough was huge laugh, as the sculptors battled against the heat of the stage lights.
Here we had a film production team who decided to try to be independent, free of any control on their art, and so instead of rattling a can for money, they came up with an off-the-planet, mad night where everyone let their hair down. As a result, I am sure that the team raised much more money than they would have, had they been simply begging.
I can thoroughly recommend this idea to others – who have the courage - for future fundraising.
