CRITICAL BREAKS supports artists who are in the pivotal phases of developing their work in theater, dance, and interdisciplinary craft, as an incubation and innovation space.
This one-woman show presents the story of Harriet Tubman reimagined as a young woman growing up in Harlem through a theatrical lens. Harriet Tubman is a heroine and American legend in her own right. This session will take the story of Harriet in the 19th century and places her in the 21st century; laced with the problems facing African-American youth all over the country. And especially focusing on the mistreatment of black girls in schools. What would happen if a young woman like Harriet became a leader in this new world? Would her struggle be the same? Would she know her power? This play examines the centuries-old fight with race, gender, and equality through a theatrical lens centered around the most influential woman leaders in American history. #CriticalBreaks, #WICG
