Visiting Your Campus/Organization
Visiting Your Campus/Organization
We frequently get requests to travel to universities and conferences throughout the United States. We have been as far west as Hawaii, as east as Washington D.C., and many states in between. We have also performed at military bases around the world. We are an excellent fit for any campus event focusing on sexual assault prevention/domestic abuse. Due to the fact that sexual assaults are more likely to involve athletes and members of the Greek system (fraternities and sororities), our message is especially useful with members of these populations. In addition, we frequently perform during college student orientations because the research indicates that women are most vulnerable during their first year at a university. Our inappropriate pursuit (stalking) prevention program is the first of its kind in the United States. Informed by the NY Times bestseller ‘The Gift of Fear’ by Gavin de Becker, this presentation teaches audience members to recognize the red flags in potentially violent relationships, set assertive boundaries, and safely intervene if a friend or loved is being pursued. We have thoroughly evaluated this violence prevention program and look forward to publishing the results. Our performance on homophobia and bullying address many of the problems that are in the media today. We provide an exciting, experiential alternative to didactic keynote speeches at conferences, and have established a reputation for deeply engaging audience members. Our performances are a wonderful way to set the tone for a conference or convention. We have performed for audiences as small as ten, and as large as 2,000. Our goal is to exceed your expectations!
We require airfare, accommodations (typically three rooms per night) ground transportation and a stipend for each performance/workshop. Our performances are usually 60-75 minutes in length followed by discussion, PowerPoint and questions with the audience.
