A Workshop: Redefining Erotika for the 21st Century
Straight Talk for Straight Men in the New Millennium

This workshop is an exploration into redefining male sexuality for modern men. This journey will examine radical, traditional, popular, and mythical ideas of male sexuality. Popular forms of media such as music videos, pornography, erotic poetry/literature, and TV will be used as catalysts for open and honest discussions on what fosters a sexually smart and happy heterosexual man. This workshop will be highly interactive with the use of non-traditional techniques including acting to explore real-life situations. A small ensemble of "Mo Beasley's UrbanErotika ™ performers will engage in poetry, music and dance. After taking this workshop you will have a working definition you can take with you into every aspect of life as a sexually confident and secure man.

Mo Beasley is a workshop facilitator, author and speaker in the fields of sexuality, race and arts advocacy with over 20 years of experience. He curates a highly successful monthly performance series celebrating erotic love through poetry, spoken word, music, dance, and theater called Mo Beasley's UrbanErotika™ .
