RUSTIE THE RED SQUIRREL

An adaptation of the book Me & My Injector-Pen by Suki Bhachu, like many parents that have young children with food allergies, Suki fears for the health and life of her young son everyday.

RUSTIE THE RED SQUIRREL

A wonderful story about a young red squirrel that goes on an unexpected journey. Lost and along he finds himself surrounded by a family of Grey Squirrels.

This tale is a fantastic way for young children to understand racism and bullying.

It can be hard to talk to your children about racism and parents worry about exposing their children to issues like racism and discrimination at an early age. Others shy away from talking about something they themselves might not fully understand or don’t feel comfortable discussing.

Conversations about racism and discrimination will take on a different look for each family. While there is no easy way to start the conversation with children the younger it starts the better.

LET'S GET SEATED FOR A LIVE PERFORMANCE!

Live performance Room 46 is a great way for pupils and parents to enjoy Live Theatre Performances offering a bold way to get kids socialising and conversations started

Brilliant opportunity to perform Room 46 which is all about friendship and how, in the toughest of times, it’s important to be surrounded by people you love. Set at the start and through the height of the coronavirus outbreak, the story follows teenagers trying to navigate their way through life with more restrictions than they’re used to. It explores how many of us have felt through those times and brings to light the hardships of home schooling and lockdown. They lean on their hobbies and each other for support, creating an online chat network, Room 46. Like many thousands of people across the world, the six teenagers ,once strangers, are grateful the pandemic brought them together to bond friendships for life.

When a performance covers a difficult topic such as bullying, loss, or feeling ‘different’, seeing these experiences played out live on stage can help children access unfamiliar emotions and develop a deeper understanding of–and empathy for–others. A live performance can often open up the opportunity for discussion based on the characters’ situation and how it might relate to their own experiences.

Visual Arts - Mental Health Awareness in Children & Young Adults

LET’S START THE CONVERSATION

Factual plays that start conversations, surrounding social factors, illness, bullying, and racism, aimed at children and young adults to get discussions started. Through visual arts we can reach out to young minds and help process thoughts and insecurities.

Social matters are as important as the education curriculum and at times they define the way we are.

Throughout the year the nation supports social matters that affect all lives and societies, including Anti-bullying, Allergy Awareness, Cancer Awareness, Mental Health, Gangs and Racism.

For a large percentage of our children and young adults, talking about personal issues isn't easy.

The plays we produce help encourage open conversation or to help build self-confidence and awareness.

Through the arts, streaming these productions directly through assemblies and classrooms, we can bring matters to the forefront so they engage more openly, understand others and different social needs. More importantly we can GET KIDS TALKING.

LET’S KEEP THE CONVERSIONS FLOWING…
