About Our Studio

Performing arts is an essential component of the Global Girls model.  The creative process engages girls and women in a process of self discovery by uncovering their talents and skills, allowing them
to share their stories in a trusting environment and igniting their curiosity about the arts as participants and connoisseurs.

We Travel Too!

 Travel has been an integral component of the Global Girls model.  Legacy Globes time and time again remarked on how traveling locally and
internationally radically expanded their worldviews and altered the course of their lives. Through
travel, they became Global Citizens appreciating other people and being concerned about issues beyond themselves, their neighborhoods and their country.

Global Girls Practices

GETTING
COMFORTABLE WITH BEING
UNCOMFORTABLE

Getting comfortable with not knowing, improvising and trying new skills is a Global Girls MUST! This practice also helps girls and women build and exercise resiliency.

PERSONAL GROWTH

Global Girls participants practice “being
impeccable with your words,” assertiveness, the art of compromise after discussion and debate, resourcefulness, agency, advocacy and conflict resolution. 

EXCELLING

Curriculum lessons are all designed to promote self awareness and improvement. And, we believe you can always “better” your best. Teaching artists draw out levels of achievement that surprise the girls, parents, and friends.

BELONGING

“It takes a village” is more than a saying at Global Girl. It’s a practice, a conscious choice. It is to be a member of a community that practices joyful celebrations, nurtures shared
values and creates enriches life-altering
experiences.

SHARING/STAGING
AUTHENTIC STORIES

“It takes a village” is more than a saying at Global Girl. It’s a practice.  They learn to advocate for themselves and their community. They perform pieces that explore and expose life as an African American female in our time.

Accomplishment

{

“She is more independent, open, confident, mindful and just becoming strong in who she is as a young lady.”
