The Art From Within (AFW) program uses the powerful medium of movement & theater to offer Dunsmuir, CA youth an opportunity to learn to dialogue effectively, and to develop positive solutions to their personal challenges. The program is geared towards middle and high school youth who have little or no access to the arts, and for those kids “at risk” and who possibly have unsettled family lives. We welcome young adults to participate!
The current focus is on movement, strengthening & conditioning, plus learning free-style break dance moves using “electrical funk” music! Teens meet once or twice weekly.
As participants progress, Theatre Arts will be introduced and used to create awareness and dialogue/solutions, creating solutions to decrease violence, substance abuse and suicide. The objective is to empower teens to write & perform stories & original scripts for the purpose of prevention, education & outreach to schools and community, and for the students’ own personal development.
Your recurring financial donations help our youth programs flourish; they also sustain us. Donations of art supplies are also appreciated and allow children to express themselves in positive ways.
