About the show
“It's Up To You” is a dynamic road safety show designed for Year 5 and 6 children who are beginning to travel independently. The key message of the show is clear: "It’s Up To You" to make smart choices to stay safe when you're out and about without adult supervision.
The performance encourages constant interaction between the performers and the audience, offering students plenty of chances to participate with and reflect upon the scenarios they see. From avoiding dangerous traffic situations to crossing the road safely, each scenario highlights an important aspect of pedestrian safety.
One visceral scene uses juggling around a volunteer to represent how traffic can rush dangerously close to an inattentive pedestrian. Another features an (almost!) full-size bus to demonstrate the risks of crossing at a bus stop. Throughout the show, children are invited to roleplay, reinforcing the idea that these situations are not just a performance on a stage, but that they apply to everyone in real life.

A flat performance area of 8 metres wide by 5 metres deep, clear of obstructions, and with a ceiling height of at least 2.5 metres, is ideal. We usually perform in the school hall, but have managed to
fit a show into all sorts of less than ideal spaces.
If you're concerned about the space where you'd like us to perform,
get in touch and we can discuss whether we can make it work.

There is no 'one price fits all', as the final cost will depend on the number of shows required, and travel and accommodation expenses where applicable.
For the school year 2024/25, the base price for a single show is £450, or £850 for two shows on the same day.
To give you some idea of travel costs, we are based in the South East of England, so schools in London, Kent, & East Sussex won't incur any extra expenses.
You can reduce the impact of travel and accommodation costs by working with other local schools to help us arrange a short tour of schools in your area.
