Rooted & Rising: Butterfly Youth in the Ville

🦋 A creative journey for young Black girls from the African diaspora

Rooted & Rising: Butterfly Youth in the Ville is Mooville Theatre’s dedicated space for Black girls aged 12–18 to explore who they are and who they’re becoming.

This isn’t just about performance — it’s about belonging, becoming, and being bold.

Grounded in the heritage and lived experiences of the diaspora, we provide a safe, nurturing and powerful space where young girls can:

  • 🎭 Tell their stories through theatre and art

  • 🎤 Speak their truth with confidence

  • 🌍 Explore identity, culture, and emotions

  • 🧠 Develop critical thinking and leadership

  • 💫 Take up space on their own terms

At Mooville, we believe that when girls are rooted in their truth, they rise in their power.
Through workshops, performances, sisterhood circles and creative labs, we support the transformation from quiet voice to powerful presence.

“In Rooted & Rising, I didn’t just act. I found myself.” – Participant, age 15

What We Offer:

  • ✨ Weekly theatre & creative expression workshops

  • 🗣️ Spoken word, movement, and devised performance

  • 👭🏾 Sisterhood support groups & healing spaces

  • 🎭 Showcases where girls take the stage and share their work

  • 🎓 Pathways into leadership, mentorship, and public performance

Want to join?

If you're a young Black girl aged 12–18 with a story to tell — this space is for you.

The Butterfly Project 

We worked with six formers from different schools and collages for 6 weeks over COVID and explored our fears using film, poetry, music and drama. These group of young women produced magic and now it’s time for the world to see.
