Breath Deep
Illustrating the negative impact of smoking through peer pressure, assertiveness and glamorisation, the project focused on the story of Lisa, a young girl and the perils of starting secondary school. Having an older brother who does more to scare her then help and parents who still see her as their ‘little pumpkin’ Lisa finds it hard in seeking advice, feeling alone. However Lisa does find one friend, whose honest and positive attitude has Lisa smiling and feeling apart of school life throughout, but for Lisa this is not enough. As the story unfolded, the audience encountered dream sequences where Lisa finds herself persuaded to buy personality and popularity at a ‘Tuck Shop’, in hope they will make her fit in, but all is not so simple. The audience are entertained by two wacky and wild Tuck shop men who do warn that “every purchase will have its consequences”. The pressure of choosing her image or friends plays throughout, but it’s a decision she must make.
