Of
LADY JAYE BREYER P-ORRIDGE
1969-2007
(aka MISS JACKIE & Schecky Domination)

Saturday 8th March 2008

At the new PARTICIPANT INC. Gallery,
253 EAST HOUSTON STREET,
(between Norfolk and Suffolk)

Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge was one half of the artist BREYER P-ORRIDGE. S/he was also a member of Psychic TV/PTV3 and Thee Majesty. S/he passed from heart failure as a result of an undiagnosed complication in her 2 year struggle with stomach cancer.

Lady Jaye was an inspirational spirit and performer in the original House Of Domination at Jackie 60 in the 1980's and early 1990's. S/he performed in off-Broadway theatrical productions; was a member of BlackLips Theatre Cult ( with Antony of the Johnsons, the Dueling Bankheads, and Marti Domination amongst other underground luminaries) and was a catwalk model, actress in experimental movies.

S/he met her "other half" Genesis Breyer P-Orridge in 1993 at legendary author and diarist Ms.Terence Sellers secret abode and they both fell in love at first sight.

They were inseparable from then until her passing. Evenually creating an art project they called PANDROGENY in 1999 the focus of which was using surgery and identity to be visually and spiritually the same. Their love was a clarion call to evolution beyond gender and surpassing biology. When asked what her ultimate desire was s/he replied:

"I WANT US TO BE REMEMBERED AS ONE OF THE GREAT LOVE AFFAIRS OF ALL TIME…"

The memorial will begin at 7pm(approx). There will be never before seen documentary video and film footage of Lady Jaye's theatre and performance story created by Marie Losier and Laura Parnes; an archive photographs and slide show created by Laure Leber; musical highlights and method gogo burlesque reminiscences as well as rare documentary movies and installations.

Special thanks to Lia at Participant inc. for loaning their space and to the many others who have been incredibly loving and generous to make this happen.

Dear friends of Lady Jaye, all the people who have worked so hard to make this Memorial celebration happen have donated their time and resources for free. The amazing amount of love this has revealed will please Lady Jaye very much. Her greatest qualities were kindness, pateince, generosity and humility topped off with a fabulous sense of humour. It seems fitting to us that those same qualities have energised her extended family and art community.

We want you all to bear in mind though that this is a tribute to a unique and special woman and a wake to celebrate memories of her incredible life but is not an entertainment. As we share memories and stories of her there will be various performances in her CANDY CABARET. There will be no schedule though as Lady Jaye loved surprises and she wants that tradition to illuminate this special night. Which re-minds us that the Breyer P-Orridge process and project will continue onwards with the new aspect of one half being in this world and the other half in a next.

My Self and Lady Jaye want to thank you all for showing us such kindness in this time.

Thank you, Genesis and Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge
