Previous projects

Sticks and Stones, Forum Theatre about Bullying, was produced in partnership with the Oak Bay family of schools, School District 61, the Oak Bay Police Department and TheatreWorks. In a three-day workshop, high school drama students and elementary school leadership students explored the issue of bullying around difference: race, sexual orientation, physical and mental ability, and other differences. After the workshop, River worked with ten drama students to create two forum theatre plays for performance at the three elementary schools. Audience members brought courageous and innovative interventions to the scenes of exclusion and discrimination presented in the plays and engaged in thoughtful dialogue about the issues. and Stones, Forum Theatre about Bullying, was produced in partnership with the Oak Bay family of schools, School District 61, the Oak Bay Police Department and TheatreWorks.
