Before there was New Expression, there was Random Acts of Theatre Company (affectionately, RATCo).   The story of this program at its flagship location in Selma, Alabama, was artfully told through a documentary called I WILL DANCE.  The program lives on today as New Expression and the film can now live on as a household name as online downloads of the film are NOW AVAILABLE!

You can rent or buy, and all proceeds will go to the programs of Something New.

Check out the film trailer and purchase the movie at www.IWILLDANCEMovie.com.

Why Something New?

Contributed by Jill Johnson, Board Member & Community Volunteer

As a long time board member and volunteer, I have seen this organization consistently evolve.  When we were first founded back in 2005 we just knew we wanted to help people. Period. No strings attached.  It has taken 10 years to get to where we are now – three robust youth programs thriving in several cities, touching thousands of young lives and still growing!

We recently renamed, rebranded and refreshed our organization.  The new names allowed us to tie together our programs for a more streamlined brand. Something New is now comprised of three stellar youth programs:  New Expression youth arts, New Way conflict reconciliation training, and New Alternative service learning trips.  The recent name change from Freedom Foundation to Something New tells the story of some things that needed to change and others that never will.
