U R DEAD ;o)
A modern look at bullying in schools
Wansbeck's Health Action Zone commissioned us to work with Peer Educators on the sensitive subject of bullying.
Bullying is one of the most difficult topics a theatre company can approach, which is why we researched this project for six months before booking a single performance. The result was a play and workshop package called U R DEAD ;o) and prompted feedback such as:
"I would like to say a big thank you for the Bullying Drama and Workshop you presented as part of the Year 9 Life Skills Day.
Bullying is an issue that always needs to be addressed. Already I have received some encouraging feedback about the play, and indeed the topic!
The day was a huge success and would not have been so without your support. I hope to see you again. Much appreciated!"

This is what you get when you book a performance of U R DEAD ;o)
- A specially written 30 minute play, including unique filmed segments charting the progression of a bullying campaign.
- An in-depth debate, looking at the areas covered within the play, and discussing personal experiences of bullying.
- A workshop in which pupils take their experiences and build them into drama pieces of their own to explore the different forms of bulling.
- A full set, sound system, lights, and DVD projector for the day.
Not only that. We can also:
- Set up a dedicated internet forum to enable pupils from different schools to stay in touch and share ideas.
- Give suggestions on ways to implement a change in your school's bullying policy.
- Talk with head teachers in order to assist the development of a Peer Education system within their school.
