The onset of COVID-19 led GRoW @ The Wallis to move all of our programs online. While each class or program was meeting online we saw similar needs and challenges emerge. We thought it could be meaningful to bring together the older adults in our Staged Stories classes with the early career actors in Wallis Studio Ensemble. The participants met in small groups to share their experiences and develop a collaborative presentation.
Here is the reflection of one of the participants:
“The Wallis Intergenerational Project allowed me to explore my feelings regarding Covid with others of my age, 72, and younger. I was able to explore my very real anxiety about Covid, and am grateful for this venue to express these feelings.” – Aviyah Farkas
