In this space, everyone has as much time as they need to speak and everyone is encouraged to share their creative, unique, and extraordinary ideas and imagination. We invite participants to connect with other young people who stutter and make original artistic creations in an environment where it is really, REALLY okay to stutter!
The Confident Voices 2024-2025 In-Person season will occur from October 2024 to June 2025 with holiday breaks. This program is designed for kids & teens who stutter (ages 8-18) in the NYC and Tri-State area. Under the leadership of SAY’s Artistic Director and person who stutters, Travis Robertson, alongside professional actor and SAY’s Programming Associate Danielle Leneé, and guided by expert Teaching Artists and musicians, participants will explore a wide variety of creative forms—including music, visual art, movement, poetry, creative writing and more. From there, participants will collaborate in small groups to create and polish an original piece.
Everyone is invited to participate in as much of the year as possible and everyone will have the opportunity to share their creations with our community in June! No creative art experience is necessary. We believe that everyone has the capacity to create, and everyone deserves to have a brave space to share their beautiful, honest, original expression.
