The VORTEX presents Courageous Cadence ‘23., which was developed by high school-aged youth at the African American Youth Harvest Foundation’s Urban University Summer Camp. Facilitated and directed by Jasmine Games and Lily Odekirk, these youth discussed and wrote about race and gender (in)justice in their lives to devise a performance for an audience.
Courageous Cadence is a spoken word poetry action residency for youth. Courageous Cadence ‘23 engaged the 13 and up group at Urban University Summer Camp. For six weeks, we gathered with the youth to play games, write creatively, and discuss race and gender (in)justice. For many of these young people, they were able to speak freely about how racism has shown up in their lives and most importantly, were able to situate themselves in naming their identities as individuals and in community to others.
