Immersive/Interactive Experience, Spoken Word & Storytelling

Sexual folklorist Dixie De La Tour brings her bawdy style of storytelling to the 4th annual First Person Arts SexFiles. 4 lucky storytellers will get to work with Dixie one-on-one to talk about sex, kink, or gender. Then, she’ll choose 3 storytellers out of the bucket on the night of the show!

If you want to be a featured storyteller, submit your first line to stories@firstpersonarts.org. Use “SexFiles story pitch” in the subject line. All pitches must be received by August 3rd.

About the Artist

First Person Arts is Philly’s original storytelling arts nonprofit. We believe that everyone has a story to tell and that the art of storytelling has the power to change lives.

Since 2001, we have helped ordinary Philadelphians become extraordinary storytelling artists who transform the drama of their real lives into memoir and documentary art.

We offer programming that serves the diverse communities that call the greater Philadelphia area home. Our programming includes monthly StorySlam storytelling competitions, Applied Storytelling educational programs, a podcast drawn from our digital archive of more than 10, 000 story files, and TRIGGER, a gun violence intervention program with the City of Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual DisAbility Services Engaging Males of Color program.

Our annual First Person Arts Festival brings together all these audiences and communities by hosting established and emerging artists across many artistic forms and formats.
