WARRIOR SERIES - WAR PAINT Expressing individuality through creative artistic expression.
Commitment is for 25 to 30 hours instruction with 5-10 students age 13-18.
Classes are on Tuesdays & Thursdays, 4-6p between Aug-Dec (25 dates). Full schedule available upon request.
Volunteers lead students through the creative process from character development, story writing, play script development, costuming, stagecraft and planning. We will provide supplies and project details. Students learn to harness their creativity, work as a team, communicate effectively and overcome self-confidence hurdles.
------------------------
We lead the next generation of warriors, and the battle they face is the battle of the mind!
Growing trends in teen homelessness, unemployment, mental health struggles and even suicide have prompted us to study the root of the problem. Most of the time, it is a sense of hopelessness. Too many teens do not see their full potential. They are bullied and even programmed by society to think that they have no worth. These are future doctors, lawyers, caregivers, service, factory and skilled workers, and they are very valuable! There is no discrimination to hopelessness. When it gets really bad, they do not have the brain development to see the possibility of hope.
What is hope? To us, it is a sense of self, safety and community. This is where our warrior is found! In 2020 we are helping teens to find their inner warrior. WAR PAINT Whether for battle or celebration, the painted face of the warrior is unique to the individual. STC uses art as a means of self-expression, healing and fun. ARMOR The warrior's armor is designed for battle. It protects the warrior's weakest parts. The armor we build is that of confidence, skills and wit. TRIBE A warrior does not go into battle alone. He is supported by his tribe. They find a tribe here at STC. We are artists, gamers, actors, athletes and activists.
Be a part of the movement to change the way we teach the next generation...the generation that will take care of us one of these days!
