MUSIC THEATER WORKSHOP AT ILLINOIS YOUTH CENTER
Illinois Youth Center, Warrenvile, IL.
Music Theatre Workshop (MTW) is a youth development arts organization
that prepares young people to make positive life choices through the
process of writing, producing, and performing original musical theatre
inspired by personal stories. One of their signature programs, Fabulous
Females, serves young women incarcerated at Illinois Youth Center (IYC)
in Warrenville.  As part of this program, the young women share their
stories and collaborate on a script that will be performed in late fall. The
Institute is proud to partner on a special workshop with MTW and the
Fabulous Females in October as part of a continuing partnership. This
workshop will be led by AquaMoon, the writing, performance and artistic
team of camil.williams and veronica precious bohanan. AquaMoon
upholds its motto, “Dismantling the Culture of Silence,” by helping to
bridge the gap between the streets, hip-hop feminism, performance
activism, and academia.  The team works with educational institutions
and community-based organizations to effect social change that will
result in greater equality, freedom, and fuller lives for womyn and youth.
