In Yer Face can provide theatre and drama based activities for day residencies within prisons and custodial institutions.

From one off ‘Faith’ based presentation performances to issue based plays, In Yer Face have resources of real value to the behavioural development of offenders, young offenders and juveniles.

Forum Theatre

Issue based performance supported by related Forum Theatre based workshops focusing on a theme or particular issue relevant to participants, involvement within the process of interactive discussion can often have a lasting impact on participants. Individuals are often cited as having a better understanding of the issues and dangerous situations they’re often confronted with.

Participants will have the opportunity to:

• develop skills of communication, negotiation and compromise
• experience being part of a team, sharing ideas and solving problems together
• build self-confidence and self-esteem through trying something new
• experience a sense of personal achievement

Theatre Skills Workshops

Creative workshops offer participants the opportunity to develop theatre skills for performance. Using theatre games, exercises, improvisation, participants are led to a short performance in front of peers. In Yer Face believes in creating a safe and supportive environment, for participants to contribute ideas and opinions and express creatively.

Creative workshops provide participants with:

• an insight into theatre and performance related skills
• an opportunity to express themselves in a new way, in a safe and challenging environment
• an opportunity to work with skilled professionals, with a wealth of experience in this field
• access to learning that is immediate and fun and which does not rely on academic skills
