Our work was centered around themes of teen relationships -- including teens' relationships to technology! Check out some photos from our performance below!
"What Should I Do?"
Addie plays Danielle, torn between her love for Jenand her feeling that something has changed in her since they
started dating - and not for the better.
DJ plays the role of Ryan - a friend of Danielle's who recognizes
Jenn's behavior as unhealthy and asks his basketball coach for advice.
Olga also plays Danielle -- this monologue piece featured 11 actors playing 3 roles!"Time to Act Now!"
We found folks with musical talents, so we incorporated a hip-hop piece into the program. This song tells the story of a relationship gone bad and calls teens to action and help peers in unsafe relationships!
Chris plays some pretty sweet phrases on his guitar!"Labels"
Our students wanted to address some
assumptions adults have about young people.
Tim's character objects to being called a "thug."
Ofelia's character hides her insecurities.
Arturo's character says, "people make assumptionsabout me because they only see the negative and not the positive"
These characters take their power back by shedding the labels societyhas placed on them and sharing the identities they claim for themselves.
