Next Stage’s anti-bullying workshops have been delivered to over 1000 schoolchildren. Using role play, improvisation, forum theatre and topical references, Next Stage actors help pupils to explore in a safe and controlled environment the plight of both the bully and the bullied. We recommend a maximum group size of 30.
