Substances, Peers & Families

(North Devon 2000 - 2001)

A series of audience interactive performances for young people in collaboration with Community Colleges, the police & the Health education Services, raising awareness around issues of peer pressure, particularly in relation to drug use, both legal & non legal. Wolf + Water also supplied a specially commissioned & devised piece of theatre for parents of pupils to help start & promote an ongoing parents support group. A video of this project entitled “Substance Abuse” has been produced by Devon & Cornwall Constabulary.

“Using Wolf & Water’s theatre really brings out issues that in normal discussion people wouldn’t want to say, that would feel uncomfortable saying. So by having the characters up there saying it…you feel that you feel have permission to relate to that.”

“They’ve really enjoyed Wolf + Water’s production & that’s given them real enthusiasm & then they want to come into our workshop & find out more about it”

Quote:
“It was a very intense evening, the work that Wolf & Water presented (for parents) & you could see people really struggling & having to work through some of the questions being posed by the actors. Certainly we want to repeat this again”
