About the Project...

A project promoting Higher and Further Education

Aimed at years 9-11

A humorous forum theatre production and workshop.

Covering the issues of;

• The breaking down of stereotypical class barriers to Further and Higher Education,
• Being an individual – not just following your peers,
• University study,
• Not succumbing to other people’s ideas for your life -  even if they are in a position of power,
• Valuing your strengths,
• Realising that some relationships and friendships may not continue once you leave home to follow a course of study,
• Not succumbing to negative peer-pressure,
• Having and fulfilling your own dreams,
• Forging your own career or higher education path even if you are the first person in your family to do so.

Some young people may feel that “University is not for the likes of them”. Our performance and workshop seeks to enlighten the pupils.  With hard work and determination anyone can succeed at university.

Using focused team building and forum theatre, where the audience is shown a short play in which the central character encounters an oppression or obstacle which she is unable to overcome; (e.g.- negative opinions from family and friends about further and higher education)

After the first showing, with its negative points, the audience “thought shower,” suggesting solutions to the main character’s troubles.

Then the play is performed again, but this time, whenever a negative point occurs the action is stopped and an audience member steps in as the main character to offer a more positive response.
