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.
