The members of WING IT! Performance Ensemble do more than create amazing evening-length combinations of story, song and movement—all improvised and created right there on the spot. They are also poets, painters, activists, writers, educators, soloists, composers and a whole lot more. And then they probably have a day job or two!
In this evening the company will reflect on the intersections of art and social change and how that has changed their lives. What does it mean in today’s world to claim yourself as an artist?
This evening is part of Art & Social Change: InterPlay for Millennial Leaders , a multiple-day immersion that teaches InterPlay's "sneaky deep" way of building artistic skill, leadership ability and strong community. Monday through Friday evening, July 18-29, 2016, also being held at InterPlayce. All are invited to come be energized by the easy accessibility of InterPlay.
