Our Workshop Offerings:

 

Performance Project is collaborative and transformative theatre about sexual violence and social change.  This 8 weeks/16 sessions workshop series teaches practical and creative tools for healing and empowerment for survivors who are ready to end the silence through body, mind, centering practices as well as writing, movement, and theater.  The group crafts an original performance at the end of the series in order to engage their community(ies) in the movement to end sexual violence.  These workshops are facilitated by an STP Teaching Artist.

Healing Through Creative Arts (HTCA) series began its 10th season in September 2019.  In each workshop the artist-survivor facilitator offers an expressive art form that has guided her/their own healing.  Every year this series reaches new people.  

  

 

If you know a person or an organization that belongs on our outreach list please let us know.  We also love mentoring new facilitators.  If you have a passionate creative practice you want to share please contact Martha Rogers at the below address.  All workshops are at the Cambridge Women's Center (46 Pleasant Street, Cambridge, MA) the 3rd Saturday of the month.

Thriver's Blueprint is an extended arts and healing experience for sexual abuse survivors who are Queer/Transgender and People of Color.  Holistic therapeutic resources, mutual support, and creative frameworks are blended to craft performance and deeply nourish our survivor leaders.
Thriver's Blueprint philosophy celebrates individual expression, pleasure activism, and desire. Those who participate have the choice to expand their own life’s work in marginalized communities more deeply connected, nourished, and supported from this unique and powerful experience.
