Quaranteens: The Show ALAS High School
Quaranteens: The Show is SAY SI's first online ALAS theatre performance in the time of COVID-19, combining pre-recorded video with live comedic and dramatic scenes and performances. While in quarantine over the summer, SAY Si students participated in writing and movement workshops from their homes, and this show is the product of that writing. It features a spoken word performance by nationally recognized performance poet, Ariana Brown. As a visiting artist, Ariana Brown led ALAS high-school students through a writing workshop focused on the theme of tenderness. Students will share spoken word reflections on how tenderness is taught, learned, protected, and sometimes shamed in the world at large.
Funding for this show supported the hiring of a technical assistant, Elias Flores III who is also an alumni of the SAY Si Media Arts program. Additionally, choreographer and certified instructor of ballet Jacqueline Salame participated as a visiting artist with the WAM middle school program to create non-verbal storytelling videos.
This project was generously funded by MTR Charities, Inc.
