Hello Fellow Classmates,
I wanted to inform all of you that we have completed our youth project idea. DJ Berry, Terrance Bogans and I came up with 15 stories and play developments to be used by local theater groups. They are free to enhance the stories as the wish, but they must stick to the basic premise, they all have to deal with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. These plays are designed for all ages and demographics and may be a very humanizing approach to the Declaration. The interactive youth theater and UNC-CH could easily enhance these plays and make them audience interactive. Nonetheless, we also performed one of the plays for the class in order to give them an idea of how these plays could revolutionize the way we conceptualize socioeconomic justice. The play was successfully carried out and most of the students were in awe at how well this play turned out. Hopefully, these stories will be put to good use during the following year.

I think Abbas hit the nail on the head. We have given interactive youth theatre a foundation in which to base future plays, each surrounding an Article to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Hopefully everyone in this class would like to get involved and support the “coming to life” of these plays in the future. I know everyone enjoyed Abbas and DJ’s great performance in class on Tuesday, and once you see the final project I am positive that you will be amazed at the progress that will have occurred. I am sure that we, as well as our successors in the fall, would love some fresh ideas and suggestions to make these plays even better, so please feel free to comment and give us your input.
