Aimhigher Peninsula Programme
08 02 2010
The Gibber Schools team have set off for the South West with our brand new show "Your life Your Choice" to begin their tour of 49 schools.
Year 7 pupils across Devon, Cornwall and Somerset will be treated to a performance and follow on workshop that explores the options available to them as they look into the future and the potential decisions they will be making. Funded by the Aimhigher Peninsula Programme Strand 1, this fast paced, magazine style performance, complete with integrated films from all four South West Universities (Plymouth, Marjon, Exeter & The University College of Falmouth) presents Higher Education as a realistic, accesible option for everyone.
"We are extremely pleased with the theatre performance and workshops, the script is packed with our key messages, the three actors are fantastically enthusiastic and great at engaging with the pupils, the set was amazing (even the van received our logo treatment), the songs were great (I am still singing them 3 weeks later) and feedback from the pupils and teachers has been excellent. The whole team have worked incredibly hard with our target schools and delivered a quality product providing excellent value for money and we couldn’t be more pleased."
Dr Jane Cavanagh - (Strand 1) Co-ordinator

The Gibber Team: Kim Heron, Georgie Rennolds & Grant Longstaff
