T-Shirt Theatre presents Kipuka: An Anti-Bullying Project

"Kipuka" is a rousing and absorbing documentary about students from Farrington High School in Kalihi, Oahu who are members of T-Shirt Theatre. The project, directed by George Kon, Jonah Moanamu and Primo Asis, allows students to write and perform short skits based on their own experiences with bullying and cyber bullying. The dramatic and comedic skits explore theater as a safe space to show how self worth and gender identity is threatened by bullying, leading to isolation, depression, self-harm and suicide. The valuable lessons and support gained by the teens in group theater promote individual and team confidence, kindness and leadership, extending. to the community. We need this program in every school!
