This book analyses the partnership between applied theatre and sexual health communication in a theatre making project in Nyanga, a township in South Africa. By examining the bridges and schisms between the two fields as they came together, an alternative way of approaching sexual health communication is advocated. This analysis considers what the something that applied theatre does, and could become, in this context. Moments of value which lie around the margins emerge as opportunities that often can be overlooked. These somewhat ephemeral, intangible moments which appear on the edges, I describe as apertures of possibility. Apertures of possibility occur when you take a step back and realise something you did not notice in the moment of the practice – here is the invitation to pause, to notice the seemingly insignificant matter that often occurs tangentially to the practice. This book is also a call for more outcry and theatre-making about sexual health and sexual violence; we need multitudes of voices, nuanced understandings and diverse spaces in which discussions of sexuality and sexual health are shared, felt and experienced.weiterlesen
