Totally Together |
Challenging Bullying & Celebrating Diversity
Totally Together
A song-filled show, that promotes community cohesion, celebrates difference and tackles bullying, racism and discrimination in an entertaining, educational and ‘totally’ memorable way!
Suitable for:
Ages 8-13 (School Years 4-8)
Key Stages 2 & 3
Totally Together shows young people our multicultural world through the eyes of some very misguided comedy characters that come to realise that bullying is bad for everyone and embracing difference is the way forward.
This engaging performance helps young people build compassion and empathy towards people from different cultural and social backgrounds whilst promoting teamwork and friendship.
Overview
Totally Together centres on the comings and goings at Our Place Athletics Club where Tanisha and Jake are in vigorous training for the County Championships relay race. The arrival of Kelly, a talented young Olympic hopeful from the ‘Somewhere Else’ team could bring great things to the club - new skills, new goals and new successes - but her initial welcome to Our Place is far from warm.
Over the course of a 35-minute performance our three young runners learn that by working together, accepting each other, and sharing their experiences and knowledge, they can all be winners.
