Let's Talk Sex Work has taken some major leaps over the last ten days.
1. First after collaboration and rehearsals since November the final script is complete, with about 90% of the script being DIRECT quotes of sex workers. I am so pleased to have maintained such accuracy with the work. My cast is currently getting off book to prepare for the NWF.
2. I have been in contact with the Nola Brantley Speaks and it looks like I will be able to bring her to give a lecture to the cast sharing her own experiences as a sex worker and hopefully collaborate in the future of the piece.
3. I am bringing a young woman by the name of Jessica Jean who is a trans woman, to come and speak to two of my cast members that are playing trans women, and to share her personal experience.
4. My producer Salina is going to be writing an article for bitchmedia.org about our piece and our process.
5. More interviews with the cast will be coming out next week as well.
6. I have reached out to an organization called Children of the Night which works with trafficked teens and children to possibly collaborate with them, but am still waiting for their responses. They are located in Van Nuys so hopefully it won't fall through.
