Are we there yet?

Stumbled upon Are We There Yet? - a participatory play produced all over Canada (with adaptations for rural, urban and Aboriginal communities). Apparently the main metaphor compares navigating sexual decision making to mastering driving skills? 

This below from their website:
Drawing a parallel between mastering driving skills and negotiating relationship dilemmas, this award-winning play humorously opens a dialogue on sex. As teens watch and advise characters on stage, they feel as safe and free to talk about sexuality and relationship issues as they do about learning how to parallel park. Road-testing their knowledge in the environs of theatre, they become better— and safer— drivers of their own sexual growth

Curious about how the metaphor work for folks who live in urban centers where driving is a non-issue - but I do like the image....

Oh wow - and watch this

From Nikki:
Thanks so much for posting, Al. This stuff is eerily similar to FYI. Some REALLY good resources online. Also, the publication that they put out is really, really helpful. Sort of sets the stage for a Community workbook... Also, a quote that I think beautifully connects theater to sex positivity:

"Participatory theatre is a form of theatre often used in popular theatre work because it facilitates collaborative, action-oriented problem-solving. Effective participatory theatre builds a collaborative relationship from audience to performer and among audience members (Selman et al. 2008).
Three core concepts from theatre literature formed the basis for this study:
theatre provides powerful opportunities for pleasure (enjoyment), identification, and distancing. Pleasure leads to openness, creativity, and receptiveness. When these conditions are in place, people want to engage. The theatre’s broadest function is to give pleasure."
