RU374: GENESIS BREYER P-ORRIDGE ON GENDER, SEXUALITY & PERVERSION AT THE NEW SCHOOL https://renderingunconscious.substack.com/p/ru374-genesis-breyer-p-orridge-on Rendering Unconscious episode 374. Back in 2013, Jamieson Webster invited me to co-teach a class with her on Gender, Sexuality and Perversion at the New School for Social Research in New York, and I invited Genesis Breyer P-Orridge to present to our class as a guest lecturer. My sister Stephanie Sinclair filmed the event, so I thought I’d post it here for all of you to enjoy! In this episode, Genesis explores the impact of societal expectations on individuals from conception, using performance art to explore human behavior. S/he describes he/r experiments with archetypal characters in the 1960s, leading to a realization of the theatrical nature of human presentation. S/he delves into he/r work utilizing shamanic techniques, physical stress, and rituals to reprogram the nervous system, including extreme experiences like being wrapped in wolf skins
