Siouxsie Q Hosts Open Relationship Q&A with Director and Cast of New Polyamory Stage Play

LOS ANGELES, CA - Performer and media strategist Siouxsie Q will host polyamory-themed events in conjunction with the world premiere of the new stage play, Mono/Poly, presented by Tubeman Productions. Sex-positive influencers and allies are invited to attend a special sneak peek of the production on October 4th at 8pm at the Odyssey Theater.

“My background is in theater, and I've been polyamorous for as long as I can remember,” says Siouxsie Q. “I'm excited to bring these two important parts of my life together and share it with Los Angeles, as well as some of my favorite adult industry influencers, including sex and trauma specialist Jimenikia Eborn, BBW starlet Genevieve LaFleur, and transgender icon and entrepreneur Buck Angel.”

Siouxsie Q and Tubeman Productions first met back in 2017 when they collaborated together on Q’s acclaimed mermaid musical, Fish Girl, during its Los Angeles and Portland debuts. She also worked with the Tubeman team during the 2019 Hollywood Fringe season, creating and implementing their influencer marketing program.

Mono/Poly is about two monogamous couples who encounter a polyamorous triad at a costume party. The triad becomes entwined in the business and personal lives of the first two couples, forcing them to examine their long-held beliefs about love and marriage. Although sexually free, the members of the triad adhere to their own fairly rigid ethical code. Although the new sex-comedy Mono/Poly does not contain nudity, there are frank discussions of sexuality, straight and gay, with some suggestive depiction.

This exclusive preview of the premiere production will showcase the talents of director/playwright Brian Reynolds, who will step into the starring role of Scott for one night only. After the curtain falls, journalist/performer/educator Siouxsie Q will invite the audience to stay for a live interview and Q&A with Reynolds and his executive producer (and wife) Morgan MacDouglas about their polyamorous relationship of 25 years (and counting), which served as inspiration for the play.

Q will also host a Q&A with the entire cast following the October 26th performance to welcome a non-monogamy social group from the Inland Empire who will be attending that night.

Mono/Poly runs from October 3 - November 10, 2019, and tickets can be purchased at www.monopolytheplay.com.

Influencers and press interested in attending this sneak peek performance should contact info@tubemanent.com.

Press inquiries can be directed to Siouxsie Q at siouxsieqjames@gmail.com.

San Francisco, CA - World-renowned sexuality educator and author, Midori, signed with Ikigai Marketing to handle marketing and brand building. 

“Building a team with a focus on compassionate education, ethical practice and effective teamwork is of utmost importance to me,” said Midori. “I’m excited to have Ikigai Marketing working with me to further the mission of Fire Horse Productions to bring greater joy and personal growth to the world.”

“It is a distinct honor to have the opportunity to work with someone as iconic as Midori,” said Kristel Penn. “I have great respect for how she’s changed the educational landscape of kink and made it not only accessible but inclusive to people from all walks of life. She’s living proof that it’s possible to teach others how to tie passion, skill, and heart together in a way that honors each of our individual journeys.”  

Known as the “super nova of kink” according to Dan Savage, Midori emerged from the Sex Positive movement in San Francisco in the early 1990s and soon became one of the most highly regarded presenters on sexuality, personal fulfillment, and kinky adventures.

Her reputation as an authority and leading expert on alternative pleasures stem not only from her unique and entertaining process of teaching concrete skills, but in her ability to deconstruct and distill complex matters of desire into surprisingly accessible lessons with eloquence and humanity. 

She’s known for tackling challenging topics with fresh and relevant insights. She calls this her “head-heart-hands” method to create a space where people are allowed individual self-exploration. Fundamentally, she is motivated by helping people to create authentic and intimate relationships while emphasizing self-actualization, shame reduction, acceptance, and justice.

Known for her ability to teach with equal parts expertise and heart, her intensives and pop-up classes are often booked months in advance. She is best known for her transformative small-group educational intensives, Rope Dojo and ForteFemme: Women’s Dominance Weekend Intensive.  

She is the author of The Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage, Wild Side Sex, and Master Han's Daughter. She has also contributed her expertise and voice in numerous articles, columns, works of fiction, and instructional books. 

When she's not traveling and teaching, she's creating provocative and haunting art and performances. For more information about Midori, visit her official website at https://www.fhp-inc.com. Follow her on Twitter and Instagram at @PlanetMidori.
