Image Three: Show Description: How To Have A Body is a multi-media solo theatrical show, based upon queer disabled writer & cultural worker Gina Stella dellâAssuntaâs highly-anticipated forthcoming book. Using storytelling, spoken word, ritual, dance, music, and performance art, Stella dellâAssunta explores the trials, joys, humour, and heart of living in a queer disabled body in present-day San Francisco. How To Have A Body takes the audience on a journey through public and private spaces: The hustle and bustle of MUNI, BART, the Pride parade, CopWatch, the Welfare office, the queer bar, the s/m dungeon, the strip club, the Social Security Administration, airports, the haunted city streets; and the intimate respite of a rent-controlled studio with fruit trees in the backyard, a long-distance loverâs bedroom, an old friendâs living room, a warm bright kitchen, a magical cripple femme bed palace. Reimagined in the age of Covid-19, and including new work addressing the impact of Covid on disability and sex worker communities, this show is a love letter to disabled queers and sex workers everywhere. Consider it a spell, an incantation, an invitation to intimacy, and a call to action. | Image Four: Performer Bio Gina Stella dellâAssunta (she/her & ze/hir) is a writer, cultural worker, and performance artist from San Francisco, with deep roots in both local & international queer & trans, sex worker, and disability communities.
