Our Thoughts
What We Do
In order to empower the next generation in this diverse world we need to create empathy. We do that, by creating educational intensives and experiences that provide guided inquiry into who ‘we’ are and how we are alike and different from others. We provide the space, time and, through art, tools for teens to explore, question, express themselves and really listen to others.
We take a group of intentionally diverse teens and spend two weeks with them exploring, creating, questioning and learning. The teens take classes in theatre, movement, poetry, social justice and diversity daily. They are tasked with working together to create a performance at the end of the two weeks to share with the public what they have come away with.
