LaurenSage: The Roof is on Fire

1. CONTEXT: What were the circumstances that framed the meaning and process of this project?
The fact that teens were spoken about so often in media, without a chance to speak themselves was a jumping off point for this project, also supported by the public association of teens who look and spoke a certain way being "troubled youth" without any other reason.

2. CONTENT: What was the issue, need, idea or opportunity addressed by this project?
The idea was that teens have a voice about society, are directly impacted by society, and our individuals with individual experiences.

3: FORM: What is the medium that was used to address or embody the content?
Non-scripted conversations in cars revolving around a series of questions including sexuality, drugs, and music.

4. STAKEHOLDERS: Which are the groups or individuals that invested in the process and 
outcomes of project?
There was mass media representation, collaborators including Chris Johnson, Suzanne Lacy, and Annice Jacoby. Primarily, the individuals invested in the process and outcomes were the Oakland teens who were creating the work.

5. AUDIENCE: For whom was this project conceived? 
For those who did not understand or listen to teenagers. To people who underestimated or judged teens. 

6. ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES: How were the stakeholders, audiences, and others engaged/connected to the project?
Through ideation, creation, action, and follow through. Through media representation and live performance.

7. GOAL: What are this project's objectives?
To give teens a space to give their voice to add to the narrative of the teen, and to identify jumping off points for more work in this way.

8. VALUES: What were the project's guiding values or core beliefs? How were they expressed in the process?
Giving the teens agency and space: one way this was done was through not having scripted conversations or traditional performance norms.

9. RESOURCES: What tangible and intangible resources were used to pursue the project's goals?
Use of physical space, use of media interests, cars, and the teenagers in Oakland. 

10: OUTCOMES: What were the results of this project? 
An increased awareness of the issues teens care about, and their verbatim opinions and experiences with those issues added to the narrative.

The opening lines serve to give recognition and context to the subject matter by immediately dedicating the show to Rosa Parks.

I think entering a school with something to teach is the idealistic approach to interacting with students; when students are in class they are expecting to be taught and ask questions. This is the exact approach Shutzman used. This allowed her to familiarize herself with the student community and find their interests, question...

The teens decided upon Rodney King and Claudette Colvin (a youn...
