U R DEAD ;o)
A modern look at bullying in schools

U R DEAD ;o)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!"

Prudhoe Community High School

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.
