We are an in-person and web-based hybrid workshop based in the Mt. Airy section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Through the Mt. Airy Learning Tree (Winter 2024 catalog due out in mid-December 2023), we will remix traditional theater with our research incorporating spoken word, performance poetry, and movement to create something new.  Classes will start after MLK Holiday 2024 for 8 weeks culminating into several free public performances at Lovett Memorial Library. We will create a safe space to develop creative works of performing and digital art based on primary source material. Focus is on the people, places, and events that impact the history of the African Diaspora.  In particular, we will focus on Philly Black History.  Creative works may include web-based technologies as well as in-person performances. The goal is collaboration and solo work creation while teaching our community, peers, and self.  Novice or experienced, all are welcome. Currently, we are focused on high school teens. An adult program is being developed as a "train-the-trainer" workshop for teaching  Black history creatively in alternative spaces like community centers, churches, and online and homeschooling.
