With support from the California Arts Council, MAMMOTH LAKES FOUNDATION will support a 2-week, intensive after-school hip hop workshop provided by professional artists in residence for underserved, rural students in grades 8-12. Students will learn to tell their stories through this medium while learning about ways to use theatre as an agent of social change. The workshop will culminate in a free, public performance.
