Come Sleepover at Bushwick Starr’s Sex-Positive Party with Diane Oh

Pull out your glitter and inner inhibitions, kids, because queer Korean-American artist Diane Oh is taking over Bushwick Starr for a communal act like none other. The Infinite Love Party is an inventive series of carefully curated acts, “where queer magic can do its healing.” It is a culmination of eating, dancing, performing, and—you guessed it—a sleepover wrapped up into one. And everyone’s invited.

Oh’s work, like her 2017 show {my lingerie play}, is about pushing the boundaries on issues of body positivity, sex, and consent. The Infinite Love Party is no exception. The brainchild of Diane Oh and co-producer Kevin Hourigan, each party (they are parties, not plays) is an open gathering where guests are invited to be their most bare selves, almost literally, with a barefoot policy and a whatever-tickles-your-fancy dress code. Food and non-alcoholic drinks are served while attendees are encouraged to practice affirmation, affection, and most importantly, consent (each night begins with a collective agreement to ask before touching others during the event).

“It’s theater that’s not theater that might actually be theater,” Oh riddles in a quickie interview on Bushwick Starr’s event page. She goes on: “True self-esteem—the permission to be yourself. We’re all in pain. Let’s get some perspective on the pain.”
