BULLYING PREVENTION SCHOOL ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS
PERFORMANCE AND MESSAGE BY CARY TRIVANOVICH

Cary's performance is akin to a comedian performing pantomime—a comedy/pantomime mix that Los Angeles theatre critics have called "perfect cartoons" and "as visually stimulating as it is funny to the bone."  The reaction he receives in school assemblies must be seen to be believed.  His performance earns so much respect with his audiences that he is able to follow with his straightforward message with pin-drop attention.

Cary's message is given in the second half of the assembly.  It will be tailored to the age level and the specific climate and degree of bullying at your school.  Cary's message is designed to affect hearts about the sensitivity and well-being of others.  Whether about students who are mistreating others in ignorance of how they are acting, or about serious staunch bullies, Cary's message speaks to the heart of every student.
