Coyote y Culebra Youth Project presents

Wind in the Shadows: Voices from Our Border Youth

Stories our children tell are often lost to the desert—whirling around inside dust devils like little bits of trash and plastic.  The Coyote y Culebra Youth Project’s:Wind in the Shadows : Pajaros Cantar is designed to empower students by nurturing their voices through writing, beyond academic confines.  Borderlands Theater will capture these important border stories in an original script and bring it to the stage under the direction of Alida Wilson-Gunn.  Now in its 6th year, this program employs classroom workshops to create fresh new theater.  Sharing their own stories gives students an oppor-tunity to learn more about one another while teaching valuable lessons through collaboration, theater games, writing and storytelling activities.  These tales of life will be celebrated with professional actors through improv, music, dance and spoken word.
