Two energetic young performers explore the different forms of bullying in the playground, in the street and at home. Sticks & Stones provides strategies for conflict resolution, anger management, assertiveness, and breaking the cycle of violence.
School yard scenarios are used to encourage students to have empathy for victims, and to understand that bullying of any kind is NOT ON. Don't take your anger or frustrations out on other people with your fists or your fingers on the mobile phone or keyboard.
Invading people’s personal space, name calling, taunts, homophobic and racist remarks and intimidation in person or on the internet are all illegal and have serious consequences.
Sticks & Stones uses strong sound-scape, simple costuming and props and theatre in the round to give an intimacy and immediacy to the action.
It becomes increasingly clear that the central character has developed negative patterns of behaviour through inappropriate modelling from peers, family members, TV and video games. He is also struggling against the hormones and adrenalin in his body and the “fight, flight” response.
The hard hitting narrative is punctuated with circus skills and juggling to demonstrate co-operation and the use of control through breath, focus and channelling energy into positive pursuits.
WINNER of the Australian Violence Prevention Award. Seen and enjoyed by over 1.5 million students!
