Theatre-in-Action: Applied Theatre for Bullying Prevention
Channel: Theatre-in-Action
Date: 2013-09-18

Theatre-in-Action is a Vermont-based arts-in-education program that introduces students to drama with a focus on bullying prevention. Theatre-in-Action builds empathy skills by exploring character traits of bullies, targets, bully/victims, and bystanders, thereby helping students analyze what drives their actions and reactions. In Theatre-in-Action workshops, students simultaneously explore concepts of social justice and citizenship alongside bullying prevention strategies. We use theatre to look at how we can construct a world we are proud to live in, maximizing our own potential while seeing potential in those around us.
