- Content: What is the issue, need, idea or opportunity addressed by this project?
Racism and resistance in the history of the US, and the idea that some events have made it into pop culture and media whereas others go unnoticed— even if they are voicing the same reason.
2. Form: What medium and techniques were used to embody the content?
Joker system (Augusto Boal system of Brazilian theatre), the goal was to have students be heard.
3. Context: What are the circumstances and setting that frame our understanding of this project?
The Chorus and Joker are used as a voice of reason. They help set the context, and also ask questions that people would have/do have for these victims. The general background information such as conversations between Pooh and Rodney King help make it seem more realistic and something that people will be able to relate to.
4. Stakeholders: Who can affect or be affected by this project?
The black community, especially teenagers— around the page of those who stories these are about. This can also affect law enforcement to help them see the other side of the story that they seem to be lacking knowledge of.
5. Audience or communities engaged: For whom and/or with whom was this project created?
Created for teens and young adults, and anyone who is involved in this community in anyway — parents, police offers, friends. Anyone that can relate in a small manner will be changed by this project.
6. Engagement strategies: How were the stakeholders, audiences, and community members engaged in this project? How were the goals of the project advanced?
Using pop culture as an engagement tactic — for example the Wheel of Fortune ideas.
7. Resources: What tangible or intangible resources were used to pursue the project's goals?
The resourceable history we have, where we can pull from these instances to bring them apart of our culture. This will help people realize what is happening. The work of these teens who are using these issues, that for many might hit close to home.
8. Goal: What are the project's objectives?
Talk about the history of riots in LA's history. Big or small. And inform people of the wrong doings that these have caused and bring light to the fact that we are still in many ways bringing up our nation in the same aspect.
9. Outcomes: What were the results and the impact of this project? Did they match the goals?
The idea was to voice the opinions of those voices that become unheard. I do believe that this matched the goals— even if not for a big audience, getting your voice heard by a feel is still seen as someone regarding you. These teens that put on this play will have this moment in their life that they were heard for opinions they had and this will help discover their voice to have more potential.
10. Values: What were this project's guiding values and/or core beliefs?
The core beliefs was the idea of who to trust, that there are so many different views out there how are we to know who to trust, what information to acknowledge. It brings about the ambiguity of the news that we receive.
