'Today, when a 16 year old wants to know something about sex – they just Google it.

'F. navigates how teenagers learn about sex and sexuality in 2016 through a dense and stimulating digital landscape— tinder, sexting, vlogs, memes, instant gratification and online personas.

'Through a combination of anonymous online surveys, candid conversations and gutsy improvisations, Riot Stage worked with a group of 11 teenagers (15 – 19 year olds) to navigate the topics that have informed the creation of F. including porn, masturbation, consent, gender, kinks and the pressures of a media-saturated world.

'A fictionalised presentation grounded on very real issues, F. mirrors the internet – it's an overload of information designed for short attention spans – where five minutes is way too long and content is repeated, adapted and transformed again and again.

'The new work is spring board from Frank Wedekin's classic Spring Awakening, which examined the ramification of sexual oppression at the turn of the century, and re-examining the same issues in a contemporary setting. Today's young people are not faced with a lack of information but an over-saturation of information, opinions and media influences. ' (Production summary)
