'Feeling Good... Keeping Safe' - Doorstep Crime Awareness

This project was originally devised by community members in partnership with Kirklees Victim Support and the Lawrence Batley Theatre.

Figment has further developed the interactive element of the programme and increased its learning capacity. Aimed at older adults, school pupils and the wider community, the project features a series of short scenarios and Forum Theatre sessions based around the story of the Three Little Pigs.

Audiences are then invited to explore strategies for dealing with doorstep crime and test the validity of their ideas in a safe and entertaining environment.
