Courageous Cadence centers the utilization of spoken word poetry as a tool for social justice. Courageous Cadence is a six-week program in addition to a concluding performance for an audience. All written work will have the opportunity to be published in the Austin Bat Cave's annual anthology.
Courageous Cadence is a Performing Justice Project. The Performing Justice Project (PJP) uses a performance-building process to devise original theatre that engages young people in imagining and enacting gender and racial justice in their own lives and communities. Through creative writing, performance-based skills, and personal storytelling, youth examine and name connections between their individual experiences and systemic (in)justice. Founded by Dr. Megan Alrutz and Lynn Hoare. Graduate students at The University of Texas at Austin were able to facilitate residencies with young people.
