2014 Summer Leadership institute with Urban Bush Women


2014 Summer Leadership Institute


The Free Southern Theater Model - Addressing inequality by claiming our places, our legacy, our stories...


July 25 - August 3, 2014
Tulane University | New Orleans, LA

 
Calling all artists, educators, activists and cultural workers!
We invite you to apply for the opportunity to learn and share with us at the 2014 Summer Leadership Institute (SLI). Join us as we research the models of The Free Southern Theater (FST)/Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). Based on our research we will spend 10 intensive days learning from elders involved with FST, sharing our own best practices for community organizing and place-based art making and collaborating on a culminating performance that highlights our learning. Don't miss out on the chance to be a part of this unique experience!

Discover why many participants apply to SLI year after year
As a non-profit leader who is growing and evolving in my understanding of my own organization's impact on the individuals and communities where we work and why I felt the urge to create it in the first place, my participation in the SLI was crucial in giving me access to others who might be confronting similar questions but also offering me the space to explore movement and song in my own way as a "language" for connecting to my often turbulent emotions and thoughts.
