Hey supporters! As you may know, Harlem KW Project, LLC has embarked on a college tour! Our first stop on the tour was a performance at Jaylene's alma mater Ithaca College. This year, we have also performed at Phillips Academy, Williams College, and a performance this week at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. We were brought up by Dartmouth's Afro-American Society as a part of their Black History month festivities. We had such a great time full of laughs, fun, and food!

During our 3 day stay at Dartmouth, we facilitated an interactive poetry and theater workshop with the students that focused on deconstructing gentrification. We also participated in an intimate breakfast discussion where we had the opportunity to sit with students and staff to discuss the importance of black theater and our role in its evolution. The performance took place on Day 2 of the stay, and was very well received by the attendants!

Back at the hotel, we closed the night with prayer (and laughs) and reflected on how blessed and grateful we are to have the opportunity to travel to cities around the US sharing our message of preserving local arts culture! 

Check out the photos from the Harlem KW Tour on our Facebook page! This week we'll also be visiting SUNY Oswego and St. Lawrence University! Follow us on twitter @HarlemKWProject for tour updates and to follow the fun!

What a week it has been for our very own Jaylene Clark! After a whirlwind spoken word performance on Wednesday night at Amateur Night at the Apollo Theater, Jaylene took first place in the competition and her performance was met with the only standing ovation of the night! Today, Jaylene was featured in the Uptown section of the Manhattan Daily News as well as in the "In the Papers" segment on NY1! We are so proud of Jaylene and want to see her move on to the Super Top Dog finals round in October where she will have the chance to take home the GRAND prize! We need YOUR help getting her there!

We had 60 people come out on Wednesday to push Jaylene to 1st place, and we need another 60 to come out on February 29th when Jaylene returns to the Apollo stage for the Show-off round! Tickets can be purchased by visiting www.ticketmaster.com.

We really need your support in getting Jaylene to the Super Top Dog Final Slam! Look out for a blog post this weekend from Jaylene about what this win at the Apollo Theater would mean to her!
