| Power and Purpose Productions Inc. (PPP Inc.) is 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization fully persuaded that all successful businesspeople, teachers and leaders share a common thread. While it is true they often possess varying degrees of access to abundant resources, networking support and media attention the one thing they all possess is an appreciation for the arts. The goal of PPP Inc. is to utilize creative expression to nurture artists and fine arts programs.
The major focus of PPP Inc. is to provide mentoring experiences to those students who, despite their focus and academic excellence, usually receive no assistance in tailoring their creative promise to fit their dreams and goals. Oftentimes, budding artists lack the financial resources to gain exposure to classes, techniques, and cultural experiences that will enhance their futures by putting their current circumstances in perspective. With the advent of the reality T.V. generation creative expression is in greater demand than ever before. PPP Inc. will utilize creative approaches such as: role-playing, performance poetry, voice and movement, and creative writing to assist these promising young people in being the artists of tomorrow. Initially, public schools, local non-profit programs, and some home school and private school programs, will be contacted for participants in the PPP Inc. projects. Groups will gather regularly for two (2) to four (4) hours. These sessions will be conducted by various professionals in the creative arts who are donating their time. Volunteers will be recruited from the creative community with training and experience in acting, dance, song, music, poetry, and creative writing. |
| POWERFUL PURPOSE |
| The sessions will occur in donated space and at no, or minimal cost, to the participants. The purpose of the workshops/group meetings will be to give a voice to those who have been identified as artistically exceptional, outgoing or talented. This voice will take the form of expression through acting, dance, song, music, poetry and creative writing.
We believe that feelings of hopelessness, depression and frustration often stem from an inability to effectively communicate our creative dreams. Our hope is that effective communication will decrease conflict, stagnation and mediocrity while increasing self-confidence, perseverance and superstar quality. Participants will be encouraged to keep journals, to record their experiences and new information. All written expressions and discoveries will remain in the domain of the individual and will not be used to fund the programs or the organization. These sessions will not be viewed as group counseling in any way, shape or form. They are created solely to nurture the creative process and spark elements of focus and fearlessness. Activities will result in performances at various schools and youth programs to accentuate the necessity of the arts. Our intent is to communicate, educate, inspire, and motivate young people to reach their full potential, with power and purpose. |
