Running Scared was a devised 90-minute performance and workshop that explored the impact of bullying on the individual, the family and the wider community. Four actors play a wide range of roles in a fast moving storyline, which interweaves primary and secondary school settings, life at home and the outside world. Poetry and imagery were used to highlight how it feels to be bullied, whilst slow motion sequences challenge the audience to question the choices made by the bullies – and by those who witness their behaviour. Running Scared explored direct and indirect bullying behaviour and engaged young people in practical and creative activities to identify safe strategies for coping with bullying.
