Interested in creating meaningful original work? Have a passion for social justice? This course is for YOU! Participants will develop original theater pieces based on interviews on topics surrounding social justice. Each participant will choose a theme based on their personal interests and questions, find a subject to interview, and use the information gathered to devise an original theatre piece. Develop new skills related to playing with rhetoric for dramatic effect, upward inflection, and breath. We will model our methods after the work of notable performers such as Anna Deavere Smith, Sarah Jones, Nilaja Sun, and others.

Sigrid Wise is thrilled to return to ASF, one of her favorite artistic homes. She is an actor, singer, and arts educator originally from Jackson, MS, and currently based in Atlanta, GA. Last summer, Sigrid served on the High School Theatre Faculty for the Summer Arts Institute, a program for NYC public school students focused on creativity and collaboration in their art form.

Wise released her debut short film,The 4 Of Us, which she cowrote, produced, and starred alongside her husband, Michael Grieve. The film was accepted to multiple film festivals around the country, and she was awarded Best Actress at the Southern Short Awards. Graduate of Interlochen Arts Academy and Webster Conservatory.

ASF believes the concept of an InterGen (inter-generational) class provides a unique opportunity to build community and find value in various life perspectives. This course is appropriate for high school students (ages 16+), working artists, and lifelong learners of all skill levels.
