The Girl Project is an arts-meets-activism initiative wherein a group of teenage girls participate in 6 months of workshops with guest artists from around the nation to create a highly original performance piece incorporating spoken word, poetry, movement, dance and multi-media. These nationwide teaching artists explore topics of identity, power, sexuality, beauty, history and more to inspire these teenage girls to share their personal experiences and struggles with body image, selfesteem, objectification and oppression in their schools, in the media and beyond. The impact of The Girl Project will reach far and wide with performances, public service and community outreach.
