Theater gives us a way to express our realities and our dreams. Theater allows us to study how we live as we struggle to put ideas and feelings into words, images and actions. It's in sharing a vision, reflecting on our realities and discovering what works best as a group—a community—that we build the skills to make positive change. Theater teaches the power of transformation. It's rehearsal for life!
Falconworks Artists Group's mission is to empower individuals and communities through theater in order to effect social change. Founded in 1997 and incorporated in 2004, Falconworks achieves its aims through theater workshops that cultivate participants' ability to tell their and their communities' stories directly to diverse local audiences.
Falconworks focuses its activities in South Brooklyn, especially in Red Hook with programs based on the principles of popular education. These principles include using a dialogical approach, participant driven content, a cycle of action and reflection and the goal of transformation.
