Art & Social Change: InterPlay for Millennial Leaders

Phil Porter, Amy Shoemaker, and Cynthia Winton-Henry

Oakland, CA

Aug 6-17, 2012 • Monday-Friday 9 am – 5 pm, some evenings

Do you want to make a difference in the world?

Are you interested in using art and/or performance as a way to do that?

Would you like to connect with others who are interested in the same thing?

Would you like to get support for your ideas and learn some new techniques?

If you are between the ages of 18 and 32, come for a two-week program to learn InterPlay's "sneaky deep" way of building artistic skill, leadership ability and strong community. Over the course of the program you will learn many of the InterPlay tools and techniques, have an opportunity to play and create, get group and one-on-one support for your own artistic skills and activist interests.

The program takes place Monday through Friday for both weeks with some evening programming as well, including a concert by the InterPlay performing company "WING IT!"
