Gestures - Barbara

This is another private performance shot in the early eighties. That was the time that I was coming up with the concepts and rituals that I would use for decades afterwards. I had just coined the word EROPLAY for intense aroused physical play which didn't include intercourse or orgasms. I created the first, very linear version of my ritual GESTURES to explore the possibilities and limits of EROPLAY. Barbara was a grad student studying Greek with a lusty willingness, trust, and understanding of EROPLAY. I met her when we were filming EROTIC PLAY which she is in. In fact, we got together to talk and play several times to help me define EROPLAY.
