Homeless children
created these spectacularly moving and
imaginative works in a process led by ATW’s
Artistic Director, Thurman E. Scott, who taught them
his original creative techniques to develop the
imagination. Armed with paper, crayons and writing
tablets, the children explored age-old issues of violence and
peace, freedom and responsibility, justice and compassion.

Participating in this exhibit provides the young artists with valuable educational skills and a sense of ownership of one of New York City’s leading cultural institutions at a time when they are experiencing instability in their lives. This exhibit and The Builders of the New World represent one element of the Actors Theatre Workshop’s overarching mission of using theatre to address the conflicts of the community, reveal new insights and bring forth hope. |
