FRANKIE AND BRIAN

2025

Frankie & Brian is a gripping and poignant dance theatre production by SLIDE Youth Dance Theatre, boldly exploring the raw vulnerability of first love. With a blend of humour, emotion, and fierce connection, it celebrates the courage it takes to be open and vulnerable, capturing the powerful complexity of the human heart.

Frankie & Brian is SLIDE Youth Dance Theatre's latest heart-warming work that beautifully and bravely explores the most essential connection we all crave, love.

It is a raw and honest work that allows the vulnerability of the human heart to shine through, because that is at the core of each leap into love... finding the strength to be vulnerable.

The world of Frankie & Brian was created to champion human connection and celebrate the emotions we feel as we search for our first love. It is, as with all SLIDE works, full of humour and hurdles, moments of sorrow coupled with dizzying layers of elation. Will Frankie and Brian fall in love? Of course they will, we want that for them, very much.

“..youth and families of the Northern Territory look forward to SLIDE productions for their important educative capacity, delivering powerful, contextualised and relevant messages about critical youth issues…”
