sexing in real life is a bold redefinition of traditional sexual education that flips the script on what's considered 'actual sex.' in contemporary society. rather than adhering to heterosexist norms and patriarchal standards, the show reimagines sex education for the 21st century, embracing physical experimentation, anarchic humor, and a soundtrack that pushes boundaries.
the show begins with an introduction from madeline, a curious and mischievous character who starts by engaging her audience in a dialogue about the complexities of modern sexuality. she delves into the various meanings of sex in our culture and explores her own experiences with it. her findings lead her to create a series of standalone pieces that she performs in various settings, receiving support from various arts organizations around the country.
as the show progresses, madeline's journey shifts gears to a more formal research and development period at cast doncaster. there, she engages in in-depth conversations with sexual health professionals, educators, and a diverse group of individuals from the UK and beyond. these discussions provide her with valuable insights that shape the further development of the show.
eventually, madeline and her team are awarded further Arts Council grants to refine the piece. the resulting performance features eight talented performers who contribute their experiences and perspectives to the performance as it evolves. the show takes on various themes, including polyamory, intersexuality, and the intersections of technology and human desire.
sexing in real life is a thought-provoking exploration of the wide ranges and nuances of human sexual expression. the show challenges viewer's preconceptions and invites them to engage with the complexity and diversity of modern sexuality in a way that challenges the status quo. whether you are into explicit physical performances, hilarious comedic timing, or thought-provoking stories,.sexing in real life offers something for everyone.
