Locality, with the Local Government Association, has published ‘Empowering Communities: Making the most of local assets – a councillors guide’.

Adult Bullying and its consequences… Fact or Fiction?

Adult Bullying and its consequences… Fact or Fiction?
Call Out

Blue Orange Theatre in collaboration with Letters To Eric Theatre Company and LouDeemY Productions are researching a new theatre project exploring the facts and fictions surrounding Adult Bullying and its consequences.

Enjoyable, accessible sessions, which are free to attend, will be provided in a relaxed, informal environment.

We are looking for people who are interested in sharing their experiences, opinions, thoughts and feelings in a safe supportive creative environment. Participants will be guided by trained facilitators through a range of drama, story telling and creative writing exercises and techniques, to gather material, which will be used to create a fictional theatrical production inspired by real stories.

If you would like to be involved in our exploration of this often over looked issue and would like to take part in a series of creative workshops, and for further information please contact us at:

All material shared will be handled with confidentiality and sensitivity.
