BUT THEN IT BEGAN...


Picture
​But Then It Began... was a T.I.E ​production that toured to Essex and Kent based schools in 2016. This show was a hard hitting and playful take on school life that tackled issues of homophobia, sexual education and equality and diversity. Inspired by the writings of Dennis Kelly and Luke Norris this dynamic and fact explicit show held the mirror up on teenage life and homophobic abuse. A fusion of dynamic physical performances, urban characters and witty scripture; this piece aimed to educate its audience. After all, education prevents ignorance.
​
But Then It Began... was part of the Stop It Before It Starts! Campaign, an anti-homophobia campaign aimed at 13-18 year olds in the UK. The campaign was geared towards stopping homophobia before it starts in the school environment. The message was clear; it's okay to be gay and you have a choice to bully someone; choose not to!
