MARK YOUR CALENDARS for the premiere of SLUT ENERGY THEORY at Crossroads Theatre in Denver CO., October 1-3 and 7-10.
 
SLUT ENERGY THEORY is one woman’s story about abuse, laughter, life, & pushin’ on through to the other side.  Told through music, spoken word and monologue, U’dean Morgan speaks her mind as an elderly, yet ageless, woman who has been through some shit in her life.  From the opening song, she doesn’t mind telling you exactly what she thinks about sex, heaven, god, lies, truth, you, herself and whatever else you might ask her – if you have the nerve.  It took me nearly five years to compose the music, write the script and get it all (including U’dean) in a state of readiness for public consumption.  This is my 4th foray into the world of theatre, and my first one-woman show.  It is directed by donnie l. betts (http://www.nocredits.com/bkgnd.htm) and produced by donnie l. betts and rene marie.

About SLUT ENERGY THEORY:
 
Slut Energy Theory had its conception in 2002 during a late-night conversation with a girlfriend. The topic turned to the counterproductive effects that romantic/sexual relationships often bring to bear on creativity and productivity, with some women expending seemingly endless energy pursuing sex or sexual relationships rather than on creative and intellectual endeavors. “Slut energy” was coined to describe this pre-occupation with sex. The question then arose: when are little girls typically first made aware of the sexual aspects of their bodies – and by whom? 
 
Out of nearly 30 women queried, each gave the same response:  it was when a male either said something about or did something to their bodies. While these answers were by no means scientifically researched, the anecdotal evidence was unexpected. This led to a creative exploration of the long-term effects these first experiences have on the way girls perceive their bodies and the impact of these perceptions as they transition into womanhood. What forces or influences move little girls away from their sexual innocence and into a life that centers on sexual activity?  How do these forces color their view of the world and themselves?  Is it possible to free oneself from these forces?  If so, how?  

Out of these questions comes the first of four installments: the story of U’dean, matriarch of 4 generations of “sluts” – so far.  Subsequent plays scheduled for production in 2010 will introduce U’dean’s troubled daughter, Sophie; the elegant and high-powered granddaughter, Lorna; and U’dean’s great-granddaughter, Tulsa, given up for adoption by Lorna and oblivious to her lineage.
 

“i want my art to stand out defiantly – like red against green; reflecting an endless variety of shapes, dimensions and perspectives. as an artist, the question i am always faced with is: do i have the courage to perform the art that is within me?  i never know the answer to that question until i am onstage and, in that moment, surrender myself to the audience” – rene marie
