NEW YORK, N.Y., Oct. 10, 2019 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — 3 cords & a hook studios announces āYouthful Faces,ā bringing together some of NYCās best dancers, including: Matt WiercinskiĀ (Broadway: āAnastasiaā – Ensemble/Prince Siegfried)Ā and Kathryn Zimmer (Broadway: āMatilda The Musicalā),Ā to encourage and become a catalyst for our younger generation to speak up and speak out to illuminate the future they want to see.
The dance, musical short film, shot in the streets of Brooklyn, N.Y. is a collaboration between award-winning choreographer Lane Napper, who is known for his choreography work on theĀ Nickelodeon shows āiCarlyā and āVictorious,ā the socially charged music of Jour Majesty and visionary filmmaker Michael C.

The film follows thirteen dancers, each defining their unique style of dance to illuminate their concerns about the future. The performance is to the words and music of Jour Majestyās single, āYouthful Faces.ā
āThe lyrics completely spotlight the anxieties of our youth,ā says Choreographer Lane Napper. āGlowing shiny faces swiping for affirmation, Page by page in a sea of distraction and the people took no action, and the earth became fractured.ā
Each performer came up with their own interpretation of the song and lyrics to capture their feeling about our current societal condition.
āI am extremely grateful to participate in āYouthful Facesā to help inspire todayās youth to have hope for the future and to courageously take action to drive positive change,ā says sixteen-year-old Kathryn Zimmer (Broadway: āMatildaā). āNow is the time to speak up and speak out to illuminate the future we want to see. Youthful Faces, raise your voices ā right here, right now.ā

We want to encourage our young people to take hold of their futures and be part of the conversation; whether raising their voices at the ballot box, volunteering, mentoring other young people, or maybe just being kind to other human beings. The actions and decisions of today will follow them for the rest of their lives. They should have a stake in the question; let’s give them a voice.
