Description
Join us this season as we explore the unseen forces that shape the behaviors of life forms large and small. From reproduction and propagation in the natural world to the sex life of other species, we’ll untangle the constructs of gender, feelings, and pheromones. We’ll also explore some of the predicaments facing all species of life, including over- and under-population, and offer doable solutions that we can all participate in to help maintain ecological stability.

The tour remained incomplete until the City of West Hollywood’s Arts Division funded its completion to help finish his research, bringing it to a rousing completion as both a self-guided walking tour and a special in-person event with performance artists as tour guides. In 2021, through a special grant, the tour was recorded as a collection of short films.
