F to eMbody is a multi-media spoken-word and hip-hop performance.

Harvey Katz (aka Athens Boys Choir) performs gender-deviant, multi-media, spoken-word/homo-hop. His lyrics are heart-on-the-sleeve and his beats are undeniably gay-in-the-pants and he's hit the stage with Ani DiFranco, Leslie and the Ly's, Poets of HBO's Def Poetry Jam, Michelle Tea, Alix Olson, and Amy Ray.

Katastrophe (aka Rocco Kayiatos) is a San Francisco-based rapper and producer and uses his poetic grasp of language to weave dense tales of lives lived outside the mainstreams of education, gender, and culture. He was crowned Producer of the Year by Out Music Awards for his debut album and been featured in the documentary films Poetic License and Pick up the Mic. He spent 12 weeks on LOGO's top ten click list and his music was featured on an episode of the L Word.

He's shared the stage with Le Tigre, Gossip, Saul Williams, Bitch, Chicks on Speed, Michael Franti, Dead Prez, John Cameron Mitchell, Kiki and Herb, and Amy Ray.
