The Bridge Is Out

Last year, Boundless Arts Performance Collective presented a play drawing on themes experienced by youth in care. This year, the youth developed the show. The obstacles in this production were developed out of conversations with our youth about problems they may or have faced in their day to day lives, and much of the content from the script has come from them.

The story they wanted to tell was about a young girl, Bianca, building a bridge to her own success. The process was very much discussion based: we supplied the theme of 'dreams' and they came up with the dreamworld, Bianca's journey through it, and how the journey parallels her real life.

We are including stories from Represent! magazine, an organization that parallels our mission in terms of giving foster youth a voice. In this way, we're advocating for foster youth through performance art, and hope that our audience leaves with a thorough understanding of the obstacles youth in care face, from their perspective and from ours.

About the organization:

Mission:
Boundless Arts Performance Collective (BAPC) is committed to providing an environment in which foster youth can realize their creative potential, build self confidence, and discover their personal strengths. BAPC cultivates a community in which our youth and volunteers can learn and grow together through the performing arts.

Vision:
BAPC aims to construct a space in which foster youth can establish a legacy of expression through the performing arts. This legacy will serve as a bridge between generations and communities to perpetuate a discussion of the foster care system and celebrate the power of the individual voice.
