Expressive Arts
The rehearsals are combined with our Expressive Arts (EXA) process, which is seven-weekly virtual group meetings, for approx. 2.5 hours each week. Due to the design of the program, we accommodate up to 10 participants for each group. The group participants (models), as a whole, decide on the three emergent themes to explore during the 7-weeks together. Each week, models are encouraged to journal and reflect on these themes by using the expressive arts, which includes dance/movement, drama, music, poetry and visual arts. Each model may decide to share these reflections, in whole or in part, during the Expressive Arts Runway Show – a time will be arranged to record each person’s reflection.
Expressive Art
We are taking on a new way to think about wardrobe fashion as an expression of ourselves. Runway models have a chance to think about their personal wardrobes during the program. We have Alumni Runway models offering to support our current participants in selecting outfits for each theme. The Expressive Arts Program includes 5 seminars for models to deepen their understanding about their current wardrobe choices. Each model is offered an opportunity to work with our runway team during a 1-1 zoom meeting to review selections and coordinate the wardrobes for each scene.
**Please Note** It’s important to remember, we don’t expect or anticipate the need for models to purchase any additional wardrobe items for the Runway Show.
Fundraising Pages with ‘Our Models-Their Stories’:
Given the reality of expenses, we ask Runway participants to help raise awareness of Empower.Me Strong! by sharing with their family, friends and colleagues to encourage sponsorships. We provide each model with a Runway Fundraising Page, where she can share her cancer journey and invite friends and family to make donations to support her Runway experience.
