Erin Markey is a writer/performer, actress, and singer. She’s a rising star in NYC’s experimental live performance community and employs her “magnetic diva aggression” (New York Times) to short and long form musical works exploring family, violence, sexuality and pop culture. She is a company member of Half Straddle, was a series regular on the groundbreaking DIY television show Jeffery and Cole Casserole (LOGO), starred in the site-specific NYC premiere of Tennessee Williams’ Green Eyes (Hudson Hotel) and appears monthly in Our Hit Parade with Bridget Everett, Tony-nominated Kenny Mellman and Neal Medlyn. Her most recent solo musical, Puppy Love: A Stripper’s Tail played to sold-out houses at PS 122. As a performance and cabaret artist, she regularly presents work at Joe’s Pub (The Public Theatre), and has shown work at The New Museum, Ars Nova, Comix, The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and the Highline Ballroom. Recently featured on the cover of New York Press, her work was described as “a tangled mash-up of humor, horror, brains and balls.” | ABOUT KINOTEK The San Francisco Film Society’s KinoTek programming stream presents nontraditional, cross-platform and emergent media. Eight KinoTek programs will be presented throughout 2011 and 2012, each featuring the work of an artist or practice that challenges the boundaries of screen-based art. KinoTek is supported by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the Phyllis C. Wattis Foundation. |

Her Body, Her Self! Essay by Michelle Tea Erin Markey is a maniac who will only keep pushing herself in some sort of breakneck direction, trawling the culture for absurdity and pulling a lot of pathos, sarcasm, sincerity, darkness and joy into her net along the way.
