.. ..Founded in 1997 by Afeni Shakur, mother of the
multi-talented Tupac Shakur, the Tupac Amaru Shakur
Foundation (TASF) originally began as the Shakur
Family Foundation. Afeni formed the Foundation as a
way to bring quality arts training to our young
people. A broad range of training is offered via the
Annual Performing Arts Day Camp held at the Tupac
Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts (home of the
Foundation). Disciplines include creative writing,
vocal technique, acting, stage set design, dance,
poetry & spoken word, and the business of
entertainment. The Performing Arts Day Camp is open to
students ages 12-18.Tupac accomplished a lot during the span of his life.
At an early age, he wrote and organized family
productions, casting himself as the lead and his older
cousins in supporting roles. Tupac formally trained at
the 127th Street Ensemble and Baltimore School for the
Arts. At the age of twelve, Tupac experienced his
first formal stage role as the character "Travis" in
the stage play 'Raisin In the Sun.' The play was
performed at the prestigious Apollo Theatre in Harlem.
Tupac was eventually cast in several feature films and
recorded several chart topping albums. In fact, he
released the first ever double hip-hop CD and remains
the top selling Hip-Hop artist of all time! Tupac
accomplished a lot before his murder at the age of 25.
Today, years after his physical departure, Tupac's
gift- his creative talent- continues to inspire others
around the world!MATTHEW
