Ignite is a dynamic new production focusing on young people's mental health amidst the overwhelming demands of modern life. The accompanying workshop for KS3&4 provides participants with a toolkit for promoting positive wellbeing.

There is a spark burning within all of us, waiting to ignite.
Even in our darkest moments.

Using physical theatre and visual storytelling this production draws upon real life stories. Follow the lives of three teenagers as they battle anxiety, depression and doubts about their own self-worth. Amidst the feelings of isolation, the drive to succeed and the desire to be accepted, the pressure mounts to balance life between school, friends and family. Are they the only ones feeling so alone? When life becomes so stifling, is that burning spark still there?

Ignite – performance and workshop will:
• Empower students to acknowledge and celebrate their identity and self-worth
• Equip students with practical tools to nurture positive mental health and strategies for connecting with others
• Encourage students to build resilience in addition to signposting where they can seek support
