We had a great rehearsal the other night, my actors were brilliant! They explored the themes of our piece (those that had been coded in the interviews I conducted) through music and physicality. There were a lot of brilliant metaphorical and literal discoveries and they also got their groove on! 

One of the more positive themes we explored was “Breaking Through” as in breaking through barriers or the glass ceiling. Check out some of these songs about overcoming obstacles and check out our show on April 25th at the NYU Forum for Site-Specific Performance. Maybe you can guess what songs we used during our process of discovery ;)

Through our research, interviews and explorations we have come across the phenomena of students of color being less likely to make it to college or once there, less likely to graduate due to a lack of support from the institution and a history of a lack of access to educational resources. This American Life broadcasted a segment on this very concept just last week...check it out.

Check out the great pre-show conversations hosted by PETER SELLARS and REGG ROC at the Park Ave Armory! The dance show FLEXN that follows is awesome and explores issues youth in NYC deal with on a daily basis (Stop and Frisk, juveniles and the justice system, drug and gang culture and more). Closes April 4th!

This is an EXCELLENT example of art for social change! Check it out!

Rehearsal No. 3! 

These talented ladies read and discussed interviews and statistics and the lovely Alfe worked on our logo. 

The retention and graduation rates of minority students in University came up as did the numbers regarding the wage gap. We also discussed the recurring themes coded in the interviews.
