Overview of the project:
In workshops with the women veterans we will explore, process and develop dramatic writing and video interviews from the perspective of women veteran.  The topics will range from ideas of home, returning home, military, country, society and so on.  Their writing and videos would serve as an entry point for a group of local high school girls (fostering an inter-generational conversation). In workshops the young women will discuss, research and explore the stories crafted by the women veterans. The veterans and high school students will meet to process and create work together.  Over the course of 10 weeks the high school students will develop a theatrical piece to be performed based on the lives of the veteran women and the girls’ responses to their life experiences.  The final product will be an interactive, multimedia theater performance that will incorporate video footage of the veterans, performance of the collaborative writings of the veterans and high school students and an opportunity for the audience to be apart of the performance by telling their unseen, untold story.
