Mammalian Diving Reflex, a research-art group, presents "All the Sex I've Ever Had," a performance starring (non-professional) Portlanders over 65 sharing their lives, year by year, with a focus on romance and sexuality. Tonight, Saturday, Sept. 20, is the last performance at Portland's Time Based Art (TBA) festival. 

Throughout the performance, the seniors dance, and ask and anwer questions from the audience. Afterwards, everyone has the opportunity to meet and talk with the performers, and peruse the memorabilia gallery featuring their personal effects.

"Our goal is to work with people in unusual contexts to open up social dynamics and allow for new relationships to take place, so people can get to know and learn about one another, share a performance experience, and see their elders - or maybe even their own family members- in a new and different light," said Eva Verity, Mammalian's creative production director. "Talking about sex and romance ends up being a vehicle to achieve a shared openness."

'All the Sex I've Ever Had' is held at PSU Shattuck Hall Annex, 1914 SW Park Ave, Portland, September 20 at 7:00 p.m.
