In the fall of 2022 Artistic Director Nathan Ross Freeman conducted a series of Authoring Action Creative Writing workshops for seniors involved at Senior Services. Upon completion, the seniors delivered their monologues in a public presentation. The response was resoundingly positive and led to a formal program partnership with a new initiative, The Center for Arts and Wellness.

This is the creative writing class you’ve been waiting for! Join other Seniors to explore a new way to share stories, personal experiences and philosophies through creative writing and engagement. From the First Ink Discussion to final engagement, this unique, six-session class teaches you ways to “Write to the Senses.” Taught by Authoring Action’s Co-founder and Artistic Director, Nathan Ross Freeman.

Today, in a global society riddled with crisis, Authoring Action’s directive is to develop a curative force that flexes language through persona power to impact issues, to audiences, viewers and readers.

As a program partner with Senior Services' Intergenerational Center for Arts and Wellness in May 2024 Authoring Action brought together an intergenerational ensemble to create  "What I Wish You Knew" - a conversation and presentation between Gen. Z, Millennials, Gen X and Baby Boomers.   We hope to take this format to congregations and organizations who wish to engage across generations in understanding and dialogue.

I wish you knew about the people in my community who felt comfortable touching each other just to show appreciation.
