Description
Bully Dance is part of the ShowPeace series - lively, animated films designed to explore issues of conflict and dispute resolution.
In Bully Dance, a community is disrupted when a bully victimizes a smaller member of the group. Eventually, the whole community becomes involved in dealing with the bully, who is himself a victim at home. Issues of peer pressure, accountability and imbalance of power are explored in a story that deals with a sensitive and pervasive problem.
The ShowPeace series also includes Dinner for Two (1996) and When the Dust Settles (1997), which together have garnered 18 awards. Technique: drawings on paper with computer rendering.
