The Detention Diaries is an educational dance-theater performance touring schools, set in a high school detention room where students from different cliques—like the cheerleader, the jock, the rebel, and the overachiever—are forced to confront the labels placed on them.
The Detention Diaries brings to life the untold stories behind the labels students often carry and peels back the stereotypes to reveal the real struggles hiding underneath.
IN-SCHOOL TOURS
By breaking down these barriers and challenging, audiences to look past appearances and judgment, The Detention Diaries uses an accessible format (dance) to foster empathy and encourages a stronger, more connected school community.
Each performance is followed by an interactive talkback where students reflect on their own experiences and connect with the performers.
