For this year’s program we will create aerial dances in a professional studio theater. We will also create a cooperative writing project- a recipe book for housing solutions. No prior arts experience is required.

The 2024 Summer Arts & Activism Project will bring 20 young women/GNC youth from San Francisco for four weeks to:

• Make dances in the air in a professional theater setting
• Earn $500
• Create and perform your own original dances
• Learn about housing solutions and obstacles in SF
• Create a writing project led poet Kim Shuck
• Connect with young women/GNC youth across neighborhoods, schools, ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender identity

Young women and GNC youth ages 14-19 who are strongly interested in performing, making positive change in the world and can commit to attending the entire 4 weeks of the program. African American, Arab, Latinx, Native, Asian and Pacific Islander, low-income and QBIPOC identified girls/GNC youth are strongly encouraged to apply. The primary requirement is that you like to dance, and be creative.

The program is 4 weeks long and meets as follows:

• Starts July 1, 2024 (no class on July 4th Holiday) 
• Ends July 25, 2022
• Runs Monday to Thursday 10:00AM-3:00PM
