TESTING
Following the success of this project in schools last year a Moment's Peace Theatre Company is delighted to be returning to Glasgow schools with Testing as part of 2009's 16 Days of Action to Eliminate Violence Against Women campaign.
This interactive piece of theatre explores challenging behavioural/gender issues with young people, giving them an opportunity to discuss their concerns and explore solutions to these difficult situations. Testing is a performance that examines the behaviour of teenage characters offering the audience an insight into a couple's relationship and how it develops. The performance explores how gender stereotypes and the characters' understanding of what is 'expected of them' influences their behaviour and the way in which they treat each other. Testing asks the questions "what is an unhealthy relationship and where do we go if we need help?"
Venue: This workshop is being offered to schools throughout Glasgow during the 16 Days campaign.
Cost & Creche provision: n/a

My Fabulous Tartan Frock
Do you escape a violent lover wearing only the clothes on your back or are there belongings so integral to your identity you simply cannot leave them behind? Working with community actors and young people, assigned to create the soundtrack and visuals, conFAB's My Fabulous Tartan Frock brings domestic violence into the spotlight via a dramatic examination of self image exploring the remarkable collective journey of women who have experienced domestic abuse: one of fear, betrayal, isolation and ultimately of self-empowerment. Workshops to accompany the performance are available on request please and being delivered to schools in the North, South West and South East of Glasgow.
