Carrie Lobman’s ethnographic research examining the All Stars Project’s Development School for Youth leadership program is presented in a new article, Performing on a Wider Stage: Developing Inner-City Youth Through Play and Performance, which appears in the May 2017, issue of the Taylor and Francis journal, Mind Culture and Activity.
“…The findings demonstrated that approaching the activities in the program as performances provided participants a way to practice being who they are not, a language for understanding their own development, and a way to become creators of developmental environments for themselves and others.”
