Resubmit proposals for Sex Actually 2012

Drama for Life Sex Actually Festival is a cross-community HIV and AIDS arts education, activist and therapeutic intervention. It is the first of its kind not only in South Africa, but also on the African continent. The festival is unique in its methodology, implementation and strategy in addressing the AIDS disease and its surrounding themes: sex, sexuality, relationships, culture, gender, human rights and social issues.

Engaging holistically

The festival is curated in a way that allows arts practitioners and audience members to engage with the subject holistically, to interrogate the complexities of the disease and its themes. The festival accesses communities from across Joburg. It utilises performing arts in a variety of ways, from inside the theatre, cutting-edge street performances, facilitated processes and workshops, to film, music, as well as practical access to information and testing. DFL Festival endeavours to create public and private spaces to engage in open, transparent dialogue about HIV and AIDS, sex, and relationships.
