SeXT: Sex Education by Theatre

Press
Written By Ming-Bo Lam

Last summer, I had the immense privilege of working with some of the most dedicated and forward thinking individuals I've ever met. The cast of SeXT: Sex Education by Theatre, under the direction of Shira Taylor, performed at both the 2016 Toronto Fringe Festival and the 2016 Summerworks Festival. I had the honour of choreographing a powerful duet, addressing domestic violence, and assisting in additional movement/choreographic coaching.

Check out this sweet blog post by Michelle, one of the cast members, which brought tears of gratitude to my eyes! You can also learn more about this fantastic initiative and where it's going next on their website: www.sexeducationbytheatre.com
