The Other Side
I want you to see me, don't look through me, just feel me.
For my words instill fear. Nor everyone's like you, comes from loving homes like you.
Had best friends, boyfriend, girlfriends who always stayed loyal, always stayed true.
And not everyone's supersmart you see. Some had to learn it the hard way like me.
Some had no pathway to destiny that would ultimately set them Free.
And most people don't look like you, they hate what they see.
Not everybody finds love, they just get used and messed up, forced never to trust.
And don't think that everybody's pure and clean, you don't know what's out there and the truth can't always be seen.
Sometimes it was never their choice, maybe someone took away their voice.
Forced to walk the streets alone with nothing but what you see and feelings that can't be shown.
So when you look at me think about the side of things you can't see.

I'm sorry for the things i did
Sorry for the pain.
Sorry that every time you cry
at the mention of my name.
I'm sorry that you never found that
someone who was meant for you.
Sorry for all the shitty stupid things
people do, and I'll say i'm sorry for
the future that never came true,
And most importantly, i'm sorry for you.
Sorry that I gave up and gave in.
I'm sorry for every birthday that
reminds me i'm alive.
I'm sorry that our life had to be so damn unkind
And finally for waiting this long to
Say i'm sorry for living our life this
way.

WELCOME!
We are so excited to welcome you to the official blog for Tumbleweed's collaboration with the Phoenix Fringe Festival! Here is a bit of information about the project as we're about to begin our collaborative work.
Youth artists from the Tumbleweed Center for Youth Development, in collaboration with Artswork, Bank of America, and Place, Vision and Voice are working to create a play about their lives. Play participants are from several Tumbleweed programs, including START, an apartment/housing support service program, Greenhouse, an LGBTQ youth service program and the Drop-in Center, which serves transient youth and young adults between the ages of 18 and 21. The piece is directed by Xanthia Walker and assistant directed by Sarah Sullivan, both ASU graduate students in Theatre for Youth. As we have only just begun the rehearsal process, it is difficult to say exactly what shape the piece will take. All of the cast members in the show are currently or recently homeless, and will work using improvisation, creative writing, poetry, movement, theatre for social change techniques, and digital media to generate material for the show. As of right now, our youth cast consists of actors, writers, stage managers, rappers and visual artists. We also have the assistance of choreographer Melissa Britt, ASU graduate student in Dance. At the end of the process, we hope to have a 30 minute piece of performance centered on the life experiences of homeless teens to share with the Phoenix community.
This blog will be one way of getting the word out and sharing our process with the greater Phoenix community, as we begin this adventure of creating an original theatre piece. Check back here for updates, discussion, photos, videos and poetry as the piece takes shape.
