Exploring Important Issues Through Live Theatre

On Wednesday 11 November, Harris Academy Peckham welcomed Little Fish Theatre for a performance exploring relationships, mental health and masculinity for students in Years 8, 9 and 10.

Students thoroughly enjoyed the performance, which used live theatre to explore issues relevant to young people’s lives. It offered an opportunity to reflect on how we relate to others, the pressures young people can face and the importance of looking after our emotional wellbeing.

The visit supported our wider personal development and PSHE provision, encouraging students to consider different perspectives and the value of empathy, respect and communication. For our Drama students, it was also a valuable opportunity to see how professional performers use theatre to communicate important messages.

A big thank you to Little Fish Theatre for bringing these themes to life and providing such an enjoyable and thought-provoking experience for our students.
