project
The Power Within is a student made reading series created by the entire Contemporary Beat team. We wrote personal narratives centered around the question: where does your power come from? We worked with So Say We All which helped with provided advise and guidance in the performances and speeches of us the students. It was a integrated project combining both Biology and humanities subjects. For humanities we had the writing component and for bio we needed to find our physical power. In bio we studied the body, selecting a certain organ and made it connection with our story. Writing personal narratives was meant to show us that by taking ownership of our own stores we can empower yourself. The final products of the project were our complected stores, biological connection and a zine with an anatomical drawing.
