Overview

The Blagg! and Pump! drama workshops combine dynamic drama techniques and props to explore issues of anger management and offending behaviour. This text presents both of these drama programmes within their historical and theoretical contexts. The text explains how Blagg! examines consequences of actions, the victim's perspective, effects on family members and strategies for avoiding trouble in future. The Pump! workshop adopts the learning aims of anger management to focus on rage, self-awareness, coping strategies and consequences. The author explains how both workshops can be adapted to suit the particular needs or backgrounds of individuals or groups and that both are appropriate for use with any groups where aggressiveness has become a problem, for example offenders or those on probation.
