Tantra Theater is a new art form that transmutes sexual guilt, shame and/or fear into wholeness and liberation; we celebrate the presence of spirit in every aspect of life's drama. We aim to educate, entertain and enlighten. No experience in Tantra or theater necessary.
Have you ever seen a play or movie and thought, I wish I could be up there-- sharing my story, but I'm too shy or scared to do anything about it.
Well, you're not alone. Most people are afraid of public speaking, but it takes a special kind of person to feel the fear and do it anyway!
Tantra Theater draws from the 64 tantric arts such as:
*Music and Movement
*Comedy Improvisation
*Kundalini Dance
*Sexual Healing
*Public Speaking
*Pantomime
*and More!
Kamala Devi combines tantric teachings with theater technologies to help you re-write your self-limiting stories and express yourself fully on stage, on camera, in relationship or in any other circumstance in life.
"Tantra theatre: our friends, family, lovers, sisters and brothers perfoming their lives and stories completely captivated me! thank you so much! I was moved, triggered, brought to tears and laughed till my belly hurt!"--Tracey Lontos (Scroll down for more reviews.)

**Stage presence and confidence
**Break through whatever holds you back!
**An expanded sense of intimate and meaningful sharing
**A keen ability to impact others
**Enhanced presenter skills
**The experience of freedom and joy in your life
Most of us have an analytical understanding of our story, meaning that we could tell someone our story. However, in the process of using the expressive arts to craft our stories, our paradigm is irrevocably altered: Old suffering is observed and released. Connection is realized. A new consciousness emerges that allows for humorous self-reflection. Ultimately we experience a greater acceptance of self and a freedom being.
During the intensive we will practice: tantric meditation and breathing practices, theater-based technologies, movement and improvisational dance, vocal exercises, group processes and live performance.

MISSION STATMENT FOR THE SAN DIEO TANTRA THEATER TROUPE:
MISSION:
SD Tantra Theater Troupe uses theater technologies to transmute sexual guilt, shame and/or fear into art, healing and liberation; we celebrate the presence of spirit in every aspect of life's drama.
VISION:
The San Diego Tantra Theater Troupe is a collective of spiritual artists who've undergone a 90 day tantric journey to explore and empower their sacred sexual history. The Tantra Theater training provides a, safe, challenging, non-judgmental space for spiritual seekers to experience their full expression. After training we collaborate on performance art in order to promote a greater understanding of sacred sexual issues in conscious communities within and beyond San Diego. Our personal, theatrical, and creative presentations inspire learning, open discussion and spiritual awakening. The troupe provokes continual re-examination of self in relationship to all things sacred and spiritual. During performance, both artists and audience have an opportunity to realize the creative power within their sex center. We aim to educate, entertain and enlighten.
GOALS:In order to achieve this mission and vision, SD Tantra Theater Troupe will:
1) Perform at least two masterful public performances annually with provocative original and adapted scenes, monologues, music, movement, and improvisation for the San Diego conscious communities.
2) Organize periodic outreach performances at conferences, festivals and tantric temples.
3) Promote video or dvd documentation of the show as an ancillary product for other communities that are not able to attend.
4) Reduce the barriers between the audience and the presentation by using minimal props, lighting, or staging, and involve the audience in discussions in order to increase the impact on participants.
5) Retain a diverse team of sacred sexual activists who care about one another and the community and who support and help promote the troupe’s work.
