Geese Theatre Company is a team of actors who present interactive theatre and facilitate drama-based workshops for the probation service, prisons, young offender institutions, youth offending teams and related agencies throughout the UK. The company is able to work with groups of young offenders, or young people at risk of offending, who are taking part in the Arts Award process.

Geese can provide input through performances, creative residencies and creative workshops to enable young offenders to achieve the performance and participation elements of Arts Award.

“All staff thought the day was extremely relevant and useful. We thought you were engaging and entertaining – a perfect balance. In their own language – our pupils all thought the same.”

“I am speechless! Really liked it. Gave me a good sense of confidence. Would love to do it again.

“I want them to come back again.”

“I found the workshops brilliant and good fun.”

“I think it went well. I learnt about different ways to cope.”

“Enjoyable. Should have gone on longer – should do it on a regular basis. Some of the issues we covered were difficult to look at but it was really useful.”
