A group of 5 adults with cognitive disabilities join a sexual health educator to watch a live theatre play about sexual health..
At Real Talk, Real World, we go out into the community and build on learnings we’ve gained in our Real Talk Hangouts.
For our next Real Talk, Real World, we will be going to see a live play at the theatre! We only have 5 tickets reserved, so you must register below to get a seat with us.Join Zainab as we take a small group of folks to a real life theatre play Lip Service 2: Breaking Down Barriers. This play is all about sexual health, starring one of Real Talk’s own sexual health facilitators: Ashley! The play will run for about 50 minutes, and afterwards there will be a talkback. This is when the audience can ask the cast members questions, and there will also be a sexual health educator joining to answer any sexual health questions. Read more about Lip Service the play below.
“Lip Service 2: Breaking down Barriers is the latest physical theatre musical performance show from Pulsive Party. Follow two vulvas as they discover sex for the first time, deal with a broken barrier, mistake STI’s for friends, and encounter hilarious obstacles along the way.
Breaking down Barriers tackles shame and taboo conversations with Pulsive Party’s signature campy playfulness. Join us in exploring sexual health information about STI’s, barrier methods, testing, contraception, consent, and communication along a wildly runny, punny journey.”
