Barefeet
Barefeet is a creative arts and performance project staged, rehearsed and presented mainly, though not exclusively, by children on, or formerly on, the streets of Zambia. The project uses theatre, art, dance, music and creative writing as a tool to engage with and support the development of children most at risk of disengaging from their communities.
Barefeet offers children an opportunity to have their voices heard and a channel through which to express themselves. It enables children to be children and to discuss topics or issues they feel important and ultimately allows them to showcase their talent while giving them dignity and worth.
Uniquely Barefeet is made up of young artists, most of whom were formerly on the streets, who are now working as artists/ facilitators and managers with various responsibilities.
