Art-Itudes Center
In a recent contest for youth in the South Dade area we asked them to tell us their plan to bring peace to the community. Overwhelmingly, they described domestic abuse that informed community violence. In response to this cry for help, Elijah Network plans to develop a performing arts center here with a collaboration of preventionists, artists, schools and churches called: Art-Itudes. Our first play will be "Where the Angry Things Are," giving a voice to the domestic abuse that gives rise to destructive behavior.
Based on the M. Sendak classic "Where the Wild Things Are," we hope to achieve the same catharsis and self-expression achieved by Max, the book's protagonist, but on a community wide level. Community members and youth would be involved not just as actors in the play, but as writers, directors, costume and set designers, promoters etc.; teaching and learning skills to put on artistic productions of their own. At the same time, mental health professionals and others from the helping professions would guide families and youth.
Just like people, communities have anger and frustration, and they need a place to put that energy. "Where the Angry Things Are" will give neighborhoods the chance to move towards healing and prevent violence.
