CHAIN REACTION ‘SPICE’ UP WALTHAM FOREST’S GENDER EQUALITY LAUNCH!!!
On 1st August, under sunny skies (for once this summer!), Chain Reaction added a touch of sunshine to the London Borough of Waltham Forest Gender Equality Duty launch with their unique new show “If You Wanna Be My Equal”, to high praise and great feedback from senior management. The Gender Equality Duty is a legal obligation which came into force in April 2007. It requires public authorities to promote gender equality and eliminate sex discrimination. In seeking a new and entertaining way to introduce and champion this new legislation, the London Borough of Waltham Forest commissioned educational theatre veterans the Chain Reaction Theatre Company to write and perform a brand new show to ensure that the ground-breaking Gender Equality Duty was launched to their staff in a suitably unique and memorable way. The new show features a fun range of pop culture references including songs from the Spice Girls and Grease, and scenes based on popular TV shows including ‘Deal Or No Deal’ and ‘EastEnders’ which entertained, and engaged the audience whilst illustrating the problems of gender inequality.
“What Chain Reaction did in ten minutes is more than I could have done in a whole hour’s presentation. In terms of getting the message of gender equality across and engaging the audience, it was perfect!”
Jane Brown, Diversity Manager,
“Once again, Chain Reaction have turned a local government issue into something that is fun, engaging and accessible for all audiences”
Robin Tuddenham, Assistant Chief Executive,
