PUT IT DOWN!  Put it Down! is a rap opera project exploring issues surrounding gun and knife crime that is now available to Youth Offending Teams, Young Offender Institutions, Pupil Referral Units and Schools. You can see edited highlights from Put it Down! by following this link. Put it Down! was staged in July 2006 at the Jackson's Lane Theatre in Highgate. It was created with clients of the London Probation Service in partnership with Insight Arts. Put it Down! can be recreated for your client group in order to incorporate local concerns and young people's views.
The performance was part of the Arts Against Guns and Knives Festival at the Jackson's Lane Theatre where it was presented to an audience of young people from the local area. Read the Muswell Hill Times news article on the Arts Against Guns and Knives Festival .
