Presenters:
Paula Davidoff a storyteller and Carolyn Hunt, a playwright and director who are experienced teaching artists.In 2005 they combined their talents to create Girl’s Surviving, a troupe of teen actresses from the Morris School District who tell their stories through writing and performance. Over the years they have developed unique strategies that encourage teens to talk through their concerns, raise their voices about the important issues in their lives and take the lead in developing performances that reflect their insights about teen life. Paula and Carolyn have written a book about their work called: Girl’s Surviving: Teaching Teen Girls to Speak Out.
