A Contact Young Company Production, with Stacy Makishi.
Under The Covers examines young people’s contemporary attitudes to sex, questioning myths and breaking down taboos. The show is inspired by the new Wellcome Collection exhibition The Institute of Sexology, and the recent National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles.
Contact Young Company has explored the topic of Sexology with a gaggle of artists, theorists and sexologists. They also got up close and personal with The Institute of Sexology exhibition in London. It has been an intriguing, enlightening and supportive process.
