The Roof is on Fire

1. CONTEXT: What were the circumstances that framed the meaning and process of this project?
The group of teenagers who treated and viewed by society differently based on their skin color.

2. CONTENT: What was the issue, need, idea or opportunity addressed by this project?
The issue is that the media are affecting how the world thinks and view of people of color differently, for example, stereotype, discrimination, etc. 
They need the world to hear their voice and be treated and viewed the same as the majority. 

3: FORM: What is the medium that was used to address or embody the content?
The teenagers are live performing in the car on the rooftop. They are talking freely about the race and media issue. The audience watches their conversations by the car and walks through car by car. 

4. STAKEHOLDERS: Which are the groups or individuals that invested in the process and outcomes of the project?
The high school teachers, and artists.

5. AUDIENCE: For whom was this project conceived? 
I think the project is convincing all the majorities and minorities to not be affected how they think by the media. We are seeing different media every day, but we should view things objectively and believe in ourselves. 

6. ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES: How were the stakeholders, audiences, and others engaged/connected to the project?
The audiences are listening and thinking about what the teenagers were talking about. They make a connection by giving feedback and be aware of the media they see every day.


7. GOAL: What are this project's objectives?
To let the teenagers talk freely, and let the world hear the minorities voice.

8. VALUES: What were the project's guiding values or core beliefs? How were they expressed in the process?
If the minority growing up in a world with stereotypes and discrimination, they would believe that's how they should behave and become. They should beware of the media and believe in themselves. Everyone is different, they should not live with labels or bubbles. 
This core belief was expressed through the teenagers talking in the performance. 

9. RESOURCES: What tangible and intangible resources were used to pursue the project's goals?
audiences
performance permit.
Space
students
Teachers

10: OUTCOMES: What were the results of this project? 

Their performance made people think and be more aware of the media. It also gave the minority more confidence and believes in themselves.

My first year at calarts, I was unfortunately raveled in a title 9 investigation revolving sexual misconduct. While I was not a involved directly, I was a bystander and very good friend to the person who started the investigation. I was asked by the affected person to be interviewed for evidence. My experience in the interview room with the investigator was anything but reassuring. I was asked to give my side of the story, but I was pushed by questions asked by the investigator that were geared towards finding the attacker innocent. I used to have trust in the government ability to handle situations like this justly, but I was disappointed to see that the disgusting stories that I've heard about victim blaming and non-fiction. The fact that it was unraveling itself before my eyes was very surprising. Unfortunately the person stayed in the dorms on campus through all of this and at the end of the year there was an even more dramatic event involving the same person and another gir...

Prison system effect on communities of color/ Connection to slavery

Although the United States has made some progress, it remains a substantially racially segregated nation residentially. And, the country stays very economically segregated as well. It is not surprising that poor people of color have been incarcerated disproportionately during the massive increase in imprisonment that has occurred in the nation since the early 1980s. It is from poor communities of color that a very large number of felons are removed, and to these same neighborhoods that they return when their sentences end. This population churning has been called “coercive mobility” by criminologists. Although it is the intent of legislatures, judges, police, and prosecutors to protect citizens and communities, there is reason to believe that coercive mobility has the unintended consequence of actually increasing crime and victimization. There is overrepresentation of minority group members among those engaging in crime, but even after this is taken into account, people of color a...

What a Riot!

What strategies did she employ in her process of making in play with the youth? Some of the strategies Mady Schutzman employed in her process of making a play with the youth were, utilizing the Joker System, presenting exercises to create a “safe” space by opening the floor and space to the youth to speak, reflect, and share their stories. What approaches resonated with you? Many of the approaches that were used were very intriguing and interesting, but there was one approach that resonated with me. Particularly, the questions that came out of one of the approaches. In the vein of the Joker System, it was designed to ,”promote social inquiry and personal agency by asking questions (How do I know what I know? Who authored the historical narratives we reiterate? Are those stories relevant to me and my community? Who do they privilege and who do they marginalize?” Mandy shared. These questions resonated with me because they are questions I have been asking myself this...
