The Space between the Letters is a public workshop that uses the tools of theater to generate a collective conversation about literacy, power, and access. Through play, storytelling, and community-building, it brings together adult learners, neighborhood locals, and members of the artist and theater community. The workshops are designed to foster an exchange between a diverse audience, to create community, and to share personal stories as they relate to literacy and access to education. The project's goal is to create a space in which the act of learning can be experienced through compassion, care, fun, and multiple points of entry.
