Girls Rock!
Girls Rock! is a documentary just released in the States focusing on young girls in a Rock Camp in Oregon. The camps main aim is to learn Rock DIY style - forming bands, writing songs and building community. The Rock camp provides a welcome break for girls being pressurised to conform and a temporary reprieve from being sexualized. The act of picking up a a guitar and making noise becomes a revolutionary act. The Majorette groups I have seen in the last few months may not be picking up a guitar but essentially they are picking up their specific tools - batons and pom pom poms and performing and representing their local community. The majority of their audience at competitions are women so I think they have a sense of good body-image. Through forthcoming interviews I will discover what they really think. The Youtube video below is an interview with the directors: Shane King and Arne Johnson. Labels: Anne Maree Barry, film, film influence, Girls Rock - The Movie, Twirling Project |
