The format of the performance has changed slightly. I now sit on a stool, preferably a black stool, with a black-draped table about 36 cm square to my right and just tall enough for me to be able to read from my notebook which I place on the table. There should also be a pitcher of water and a glass on the table, or a water bottle. I use a hand-held wireless microphone only, unless you want me to do the masturbation piece with the yellow glove, in which case I need both a hand-held wireless and a clip-on wireless. The stage aera should be all black-- black curtain or drape behind me, black stool, black-draped table. (One venue painted the stage floor black too.) I can't tell you at this time whether there should be a projection screen and a slide projector, because my slides were stolen about a year ago and I haven't been able to replace them yet.)
The lighting covers two areas: the stool is one area, and the entire downstage from left to right is another. These must be separately dimmable. The lighting on both areas consists of equal numbers of flesh-gelled and ungelled lights in front of the stage (i.e., on pipes over the audience), either elliptical or fresnel; and backlighting consisting of equal numbers of deep blue-gelled and ungelled lights the same type as the front lights. I can send you photos of what the lighting looks like on me.
Most of the time the lighting is on the stool only, but for the song at the end we use the downstage wash, which consists of more flesh and ungelled lights covering the entire downstage area at full stage width.
I use a CD with five music cues. These are controlled by your sound person in response to my cue. This requires a sound rehearsal to be sure the sound person is familiar with the cue points.
I don't know what to call these performances; I'm working on it. Suggestions?
Will the audience understand colloquial american english?
