MOVEMENT
Utilizing aspects of performance poetry, storytelling, and movement, students work together with some of Los Angeles’ leading spoken word artists to create and perform original work.
In Spoken Movement we engage and inspire youth in our community to explore their identity and tell their own story as a source of healing and to harness joy.
Spoken Movement is our commitment to support, develop, and produce work by Angelenos whose work addresses the fundamental issues of vulnerable, urban communities and where struggles are transformed into assets.
Our work with inner-city youth and our local communities is a major part of our artistic life. At a deep level, it complements and enhances each of the shows we produce.
