Talk about Sex with Drama for Life
Nineteen years after Salt 'n Pepa released their song Let's talk about Sex, Drama for Life is bringing its 2010 Drama for Life Festival, which will explore the theme "Sex Actually" through performances, dance, workshops, poetry, exhibitions and interventions. It will run nationally between 21 August and 18 September, 2010.
Drama for Life (DFL) is an innovative training and development programme initiated by the Dramatic Arts Division (DODA) of the University of the Witwatersrand, and whilst the world has made Africa its destination this year through the 2010 FIFA World Cup, DFL has turned the lens to the heart of Africa and taken snapshots of people young and old, their lives, circumstances, stories, disease, famine, education, health and zoomed in even further to explore Africa's diversity about sex. DFL uses the performing and visual arts as the vehicle of exchange to allow real stories to be told.
The festival takes place in:
- Johannesburg: 21 to 28 August
- Cape Town: 9 to11 September
- Pietermaritzburg: 15 to 16th September
- Durban: 17 to18 September
Drama for Life Festival will present works by PJ Sabbagna, Peter Hayes, DFL Playback Theatre, Bonfire, Tracey Human, Siwela Sonke Dance Theatre, UBOM amongst many others, and will host two other exciting projects, DFL Lover and Another National Poetry Competition and the Write for Life Project, in association with ANOVA's HIV/AIDS Media Project. The common aim is to promote knowledge about HIV/AIDS, the realities of the pandemic and to seek innovative ways of communicating sex related issues.
