Summer Hip Hop Poetry Festival at St. Louis Juvenile Detention Center
The festival is a literacy and performance project that will engage youth at the St. Louis City Juvenile Detention Center in an intensive arts experience during public school summer break. The centerpiece of the project is a six-day residency with noted Hip Hop poet and publicher Jessica Care Moore. The young people in detention will participate in classes in poetry writing, performance, costume, set design and Hip Hop dance. At the end of the residency the poets will perform for their families, staff, community guests and their peers.
