Written and composed by , Red follows a group of teenagers brought together by a web of life-altering circumstances as they fight to save their neighborhood community center from being shut down by a new mayor. Inspired by Brothers Grimm tales, the piece journeys through friendship, bravery, and just how many colors life can hold.

We’re excited to bring this excerpt to life as part of Illuminating New Voices Festival, which uplifts bold, original work and the artists behind it.

Catch RED on May 8 & 9 at 8PM!

Did you know about the Children’s Crusade of 1963?

Swipe to learn more about the events that inspired The Movement, the a ca****la musical we brought to life during Black History Month in collaboration with Newark Public Schools.

In May 1963, in Birmingham, thousands of Black children and teenagers marched against segregation. Organized by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the demonstrations lasted several days and led to more than 2,500 arrests.
It is a chapter of history that is often overlooked — yet it was young people who helped shift national momentum toward civil rights legislation.

'Round here, Black history isn’t confined to one month. It is something we honor, teach, and carry forward every day.

This is why we tell the story!

The writer The Movement shares what inspired her to create this a ca****la musical rooted in the 1963 Children’s Crusade — and why honoring our history through art still matters.

We’re performing tonight at Arts High School at 7 PM. Tickets are very limited. DM us if you’d like to attend!

This Black History Month, we’ve been living inside the story of the 1963 Children’s Crusade.

In May of 1963, thousands of young people in Birmingham left their classrooms and marched for freedom, facing fire hoses, police dogs, and arrest in a fight for civil rights that would help shift the course of history.

Our production of The Movement honors their courage.

Watch some of our cast share why telling this story matters,why these young voices still echo, and why we must continue to speak their names.

Because Black history is not distant.
It is living.
And it is ours to keep telling.

For 100 years, Black history has been kept alive not just in books, but in voices, images, movement, and memory.

Storytelling is how we’ve preserved truth when it wasn’t protected.

It’s how our history survived when it was ignored.
It’s how our future continues to be shaped.

At Aurway, we believe storytelling is an act of care—and an act of resistance. Through our work, we honor the auditory and visual histories that carry us forward, especially in moments when Black history is under attack.

This Black History Month, we celebrate the stories that refuse to disappear, and our responsibility to keep telling them.

We’re proud to announce the cast of The Movement presented in partnership with the Superintendent of Newark Public Schools this February.

Activism is at the heart of what we do at Aurway. Telling stories like this, rooted in truth, courage, and collective action , is part of that commitment.
Inspired by the Children’s Crusade of 1963, The Movement centers the power of young people and reminds us that change has always been driven by those willing to stand up, speak out, and move forward together.

Swipe to learn more about the production, and stay tuned as we continue to share the history behind the Children’s March of 1963 and why this story still matters today.

It’s all about the A.

Habari Gani?
Ujima!

On the third day of Kwanzaa, we honor Collective Work and Responsibility; To build and maintain our community together and make our brother's and sister's problems our problems and to solve them together.

Through Aurway Aligned, we create space not only for artistic growth, but for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness, with a special focus on artists in the greater Newark community.

Across three wellness sessions rooted in practices like yoga and sound meditation, led by artists from our own network who are also wellness practitioners, we gathered to reset, re-align, and care for the whole self as we move into the fall season and beyond.

Ujima reminds us that nurturing our community means tending to our minds, bodies, and spirits, together.
