Are you a curious and creative young person living in Cambridge? Join us for a unique opportunity to engage with the intersection of theater, science, and social justice.
The Youth Underground Arts and Science Fellowship offers a paid opportunity for Cambridge high school students and young adults up to the age of 20 to delve into a thought-provoking play, engage in dynamic workshops, and conduct meaningful research. The program is rooted in the goals of Central Square Theater’s Youth Underground program – youth development, community engagement, and social change – and expands to incorporate science exploration, in conjunction with CST’s Catalyst Collaborative@MIT (CC@MIT) program. Meeting twice a month from October to March, a cohort of six Fellows will:
- Dive deep into theater: Explore one of CST’s science plays, S P A C E, and uncover its themes and messages.
- Collaborate with peers: Participate in thematic workshops with a mentor and peers.
- Conduct research: Investigate questions of science and social justice raised by the play.
- Create a public event: Work together to design a public-facing event that sparks dialogue and connects with a Mainstage performance of the play.
Applications for the YU Arts and Science Fellowship are accepted until Friday, October 4th.
