Where I am at, quite simply and happily right now…
Creature is a Performance Artist, Sex Geek, and Creative Force who’s been writing ABCs Of Kink since 2013. This project chronicles their exploration of kink, and encourages conversation and questioning on the subjects of identity, gender, sexuality, and behavior. Historically Creature’s artistic and educational body of work skips across mediums, steadily exploring gender, identity, sexuality, presentness, and communication. Formerly known as “UnAmerika’s Sweetheart” or “Karin Webb”, Creature is a character actor, drag king, burlesque performer, puppeteer, dancer, writer, director, proDom, kink skills teacher, sexuality educator, and touring artist.
The official history runs down something like this:

A founding member of All The Kings Men (ATKM), Creature has a BFA in acting from Boston University, a certificate in Ensemble and Physical Theater from Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theater, and spent time at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts (LAMDA). They’ve toured with various companies extensively around the United States, Canada, and London, and had their writing produced for theater — including their award winning solo show, NO SHAME. They’ve performed on many stages in the Boston Area, both underground and legit, including frequent appearances at OBERON, the Somerville Theater, the BCA, and Boston’s ICA. Creature has worked with Liars and Believers, Walter Sickert & the Army of Broken Toys, Whistler in the Dark Theater, the Slaughterhouse Sweethearts, and for the first 5 years featured heavily in “The Slutcracker“. Creature was one of two actors in the Elliot Norton Award winning production of “Collected Stories” by Gloucester Stage Company, and won awards two years running for original works at the Asheville Fringe Arts Festival.

ATKM was been named “Best Lesbian Performance Troupe” by Curve Magazine, “Best Drag King Troupe” by GO NYC Magazine, and they have won numerous Readers Choice Awards over the 15 years they actively performed. Creature has directed for productions at the ICA and the Boston Circus Guild. Among other film titles such “TEN“, and “Chainsaw Maidens from Hell“, Creature co-stars in “Play In The Gray”, a full-length documentary about their troupe ATKM, gender, and identity. An interview with them has also been published in the “National Gay and Lesbian Review”. Creature is the creator of “Axe To Ice Productions”, and the much loved “Bent Wit Cabaret”. They’ve been performing, writing, directing, and teaching theater (in many various forms), movement, creativity, and dance for over 20 years as well as been a sexuality educator and kink skills instructor for almost as long. Most recently they’ve started taking on individuals and couples for professional Dominance sessions, which you can find out more about at the Creature|Kink website.
