Why doesn’t Street Spirits specialize in one issue?
We know that we could probably get grants more easily if we specialized. We have found that covering a range of issues keeps the youth and the performances we create fresh and relevant. We have also found that issues are too complex to be isolated. Sexual exploitation, for example, is connected to substance use, family violence, organized crime, peer pressure and self esteem issues. Working on a range of issues allows us to show those connections.
