This eight week writing and performance workshop series is led by professionals in the field who are also veterans or the family members of veterans. One of the core values of this program is to empower veterans and the family members of veterans (with and without prior experience in the arts) to tell their stories and embody their truths in an environment of compassion and non-judgment. At the end of the series, participants perform a four minute piece of original work and connect with an audience in a discussion of their process, experiences, art, and audience reflections on what profoundly resonates for them.
Words that have been used to describe our program by those who participated in it:
“Freeing”
“Relaxed and safe”
“It renewed my purpose”
“Well-organized, great planning details”
“I was glad to see others expressing themselves. It made me think our stories mattered”
“This workshop pushed me to deliver, to embrace the honor of performing with such fine and talented writers.”
