she crew Coming To The CivicLab

{she crew} is a six-week summer program for girls, ages 12 to 14, to engage in a multi-disciplinary journaling workshop that culminates in a theatrical performance written entirely by the participants.  We are investigating the question of what it is to be a woman, how one defines womanhood, and how we see ourselves in relation to that definition.  It is our goal to investigate feminine topics through broad questions that encourage participants’ engagement and deep reflection.  Questions and writing prompts include topics of: womanhood, personal identity, women in relation to family, community, career, and the physical body.

she crew will be in residence at the CivicLab this summer. Apply here.
