Love Drunk

Love Drunk is a fast-paced, action-packed theatre performance that deals with youth culture and relationships. Within this context drug and alcohol abuse, racial tension and sexual assault are explored. This is a great production to provide young people with educational arts opportunities and promote respectful relationships within the wider community.

Due to the content explored, the show is suitable for students in years 9 to 12. Phunktional recognises that you have a working knowledge of your students and their capacity, and from there are best placed to decide which year level can see the show.

Love Drunk’s Unit of Work provides teachers with the tools to comprehensively explore the Respectful Relationships themes that underpin Love Drunk and support young people’s ongoing learning.

It is recommended that teachers review both the Unit of Work and the script, and work through the lessons with their students prior to seeing the show.

A Professional Development Teachers Workshop is also offered as part of this package.  If you are interested in attending, please contact Phunktional on (03) 9654 3257 or info@phunktional.org.au

Suitable for middle to senior secondary school-aged students in years 9-12 and their parents or guardians.

Reviews

“The strength of Love Drunk can be seen in the level of student engagement. These programs can be considered very useful tools for schools to use to complement their health and well-being curriculum”
Dr Virginia Dods, Office of the Child Safety Commissioner

“The students were spellbound – The performers were able to give messages that were far more effective than any teacher could deliver in class.”
Thomas Moore College

“Love Drunk is a powerful tool for educating young people about consent in teenage relationships. Powerful because it uses humour and themes relevant to young people to engage them around this tricky legal concept. The audience are involved, entertained, and almost without noticing it, educated”
Bevan Warner, Managing Director, Victoria Legal Aid
