The Blagg! and Pump! drama workshops combine dynamic drama techniques and props to explore issues of anger management and offending behavior. They can be easily adapted to suit the particular needs or backgrounds of individuals or groups. Both are appropriate for use with any groups where aggressiveness has become a problem, for example, offenders or those on probation.
Blagg! examines consequences of actions, the victim's perspective, effects on family members, and strategies for avoiding trouble in the future. Pump! adopts the learning aims of anger management to focus on rage, self -awareness, coping strategies and consequences. James Thompson presents both of these drama programs within their historical and theoretical contexts. Each program consists of a course of dramatic exercises which are sufficiently flexible to accommodate restrictions imposed by time, space or numbers.
