About Voicebox.
What do we do?
Don’t Cry | Man Up | Win At All Costs | Be Reckless Dominate | Be Heterosexual
Don't be a Girl.
These are the lessons being taught to our boys.
Our work challenges all of the negative aspects of masculinity, and promotes a healthy masculinity that teaches boys to:
Care | Be Vulnerable | Be Responsible | Love | Share | Communicate | Listen | Be Authentic| Value Women Love Yourself.
How we do it?
Drama and performance enables young people to;
-
Apply understanding and theory to real-life situations.
-
Engage with sensitive issues, such as: gender, sexuality and mental health through the use of characters and stories.
-
Develop empathy through working collaboratively with others
-
Take risks, be vulnerable, make creative choices, and develop confidence
Our drama workshops create an environment where learning is engaging and student led.
