SEASON 15 ARCHIVE | September 2002
Conversations at a Bathhouse Can Be Tricky
by Jim Chappeleaux | Presented by the VORTEX
Conversations at a Bathhouse Can Be Tricky is a full-length mostly
solo show choreographed and performed by Jim Chappeleaux (the artist
formerly known as C¹eaux). The show borrows from many artistic
disciplines dance, theatre, music, and photography. Conversations
at a Bathhouse Can Be Tricky is a multi-disciplined performance experience,
also known as performance art.
Conversations at a Bathhouse Can Be Tricky is a scandalous, humor-filled
romp through sex education. Do you like sex? Do you like nudity?
Do you like gay subject material? This show contains nudity, adult
situations, gorgeous guys, and bathhouse humor. Conversations at
a Bathhouse Can Be Tricky details the politics of being queer in
America, coming out to parents (his anyway) and sexual experiences
including a homo-history of sex if you want to learn
what all those hanky codes mean, then this is the show for you!
The September 19 opening night performance of Conversations will
be a benefit performance for The Wright House Wellness Center. Since
1988, The Wright House Wellness Center (formerly the HIV Wellness
Center) has been improving the lives of people living with HIV/AIDS,
cancer and hepatitis C through holistic therapies, education and
compassion. Their complimentary health therapies provide hope and
relief to those facing the struggles of chronic illness in Austin
(Travis County) and nine surrounding counties. The Wright House
is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization and a United Way Partner Agency.
Jim Chappeleaux's work has been seen in Atlanta, GA, Santa Monica,
CA, Seattle, WA, Louisville, KY, Houston and San Antonio, TX, and
Albuquerque, NM. He also has performed in New York, NY and Berlin,
Germany. He created and directed the Atlanta Gay and Lesbian Arts
Festival for 8 years. He was recently nominated for an Austin Critics'
Table Award for dance.
"One-man show is so, C'eaux funny."
Atlanta Journal Constitution
"A solo dance concert requires enormous
energy and outflow of adrenaline balanced by a mature dramatic sense
in order to control a stage single-handedly. Jim ChappeleauxŠproved
that he is well on his way toward dramatic maturity." Albuquerque
Journal
"Jim Chappeleaux fights with no holds
barred - He pushes all the buttons in a riptide that shakes, rattles,
and rolls - Super." Drama-Logue Hollywood, CA
