THE
ARTS AND ACTIVISM PROJECT: TRUTH TELLERS
Summer 2008
A youth program in partnership with Oasis for Girls and CounterPulse
An 8 week arts and activism workshop for girls age 14-20.
Students meet three times a week with Flyaway artists and Oasis leaders.
In the studio we will use dance, aerial dance, and specially designed
apparatus to engage a creative process about truth and lies in political
culture. We will give physical language to apathy, frustration, and
betrayal. This creative process will include repertory made by Flyaway
in 07, dance-making by the girls, a showing for the public at the end of
the residency, and a community based activism project.

COMPANY IN RESIDENCE AT THE LAB

San Francisco, CA
Informal showings November 14,15 and 20-22.
Flyaway will spend a month in residence at the LAB in San Francisco, to
begin developing a new work called "The Ballad of Polly Ann." This new
work celebrates the contributions of women iron workers, pile drivers
and crane operators who have built the Bay Area's bridges. For the
project we are collaborating with composer Pamela Z, historian Harvey
Schwartz, and rigging designer Sean Riley. Our community partners are
Tradeswomen Inc. and LaborFest.
