DFL Lover + Another Poetry Challenge 2011

The DFL Lover + Another Poetry Challenge is an exciting and innovative National performance poetry project which aims at empowering University students, youth and the wider community to confront their realities pertaining specifically to multiple sexual relationships and HIV and AIDS. This is a project that allows the youth to talk openly about sex, relationships & HIV and AIDS education in a space designed to fit their socio-cultural contexts. Through performance poetry the youth is able to directly address the risks and cultural factors affecting their sexual behavior, values and attitudes towards sex, relationships & HIV and AIDS.

The 2011 Drama for Life Lover + Another Poetry Challenge is hosted across the country, in Kwa-Zulu Natal (Pietermaritzburg & Durban), Cape Town, Grahamstown (Rhodes University) and Gauteng. All Lover + Another hosts already had several poetry workshops and their regional finals in the last weeks.
Gauteng and Cape Town had their regional finale over the past weekend with an amazing positive response from the audience. So beware! You will be surprised by stunning performances, powerful words, an energetic audience and 12 entertaining finalists!
