"I Can"
Arts & Culture Program
Our mission is to use the Arts as a tool to combat the negative influences of racism and violence confronting communities of color while providing artistic training that can lead to a career in the Arts and/or have a lifelong appreciation for the Arts.
Objectives
In addition to providing artistic development through traditional art education and training, all courses within the “I Can” Arts and Culture program is designed to:
- Develop the student’s reasoning, cognitive, and critical thinking skills.
- Develop a sense of teamwork, by providing conflict resolution techniques.
- Assist in improving each student's self-esteem.
- Enhancing each student's academic achievement
- Develop an art appreciation for other cultures.
Social Justice Theater
Broadly defined, social justice theatre is theatre that provokes in the audience an empathetic response to characters suffering various forms of injustice. Through this program it is our desire for the audiences to:
- Become more socially conscious and motive to political engagement
- Draw out and amplify stories that are urgent to our communities
- Recognize how theater can be a catalyst for change?
