Pushed

Our Theatre and Workshops initiative aimed at promoting positive behaviour for Year 8 students is currently touring selected Derbyshire Secondary Schools.

Students are encouraged to engage in stimulating discussions exploring examples of anti-social and positive behaviour and developing their own projects to help make their school and community more positive environments.

Piloted in 2011, this initiative was commissioned by Derbyshire Community Safety Partnership and Derbyshire County Council.

 

 

The Tower

It is with great regret that due to insufficient bookings we are cancelling the summer-term tour of this valuable initiative.  We can only apologise to schools who have booked, but we have made this decision now in order to give them time to find alternative provision for their students.

The feedback received from schools is that the vast majority would like to book The Tower, but their budgets will not stretch to funding it themselves.  

This is the first time Brief Candle Theatre has had to ask schools to pay for performances. Since 2006 The Tower has been recommissioned by either the PCT Healthy Schools Team or the LEA and for 5 years was delivered free of charge to schools.  This year austerity measures have severely cut the budgets that support our work.

We have tried to keep our costs and consequently charges to schools to the minimum, but production costs are relatively high for theatre productions compared to workshops. We have been trying to attract partial funding but to no avail.  We are currently looking at devising more affordable initiatives to offer schools.  So watch this space!

 

 

Shattered

Our Alcohol Education Drama for post-16 students will shortly be available for single one-off performances or, of course, for more.

Two of our most experienced actor/facilitators deliver this excellent production.

If you would like to book performances of Shattered, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
