About "The Story of WILD"

"The Story of WILD," a multimedia performance layering live and recorded elements, was a creative collaboration between three MacArthur Fellows to celebrate the power, leadership and dreams of disabled women activists around the world.

For this collaboration, disability activist Susan Sygall delivers an emotive monologue punctuated by lively musical performances from world-class musicians Claire Chase<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d39e81314218b930d5315426a&id=2337e75151&e=e24c886205__;!!C5qS4YX3!ULfhqprisLfbp3YjIWnStHmdzD3NBx4bZCv8kekooZbdr7RQDKo3WQ4iA5KzURU$> (flute) and Reginald R. Robinson<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d39e81314218b930d5315426a&id=25841380ee&e=e24c886205__;!!C5qS4YX3!ULfhqprisLfbp3YjIWnStHmdzD3NBx4bZCv8kekooZbdr7RQDKo3WQ4iTMN1kGg$> (piano). Sygall, Chase, and Robinson are MacArthur Fellows - talented individuals recognized by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d39e81314218b930d5315426a&id=6fb81bd358&e=e24c886205__;!!C5qS4YX3!ULfhqprisLfbp3YjIWnStHmdzD3NBx4bZCv8kekooZbdr7RQDKo3WQ4i1slrv5Y$> to have shown extraordinary originality and dedication in their creative pursuits.

Throughout the performance, alumni of MIUSA’s Women’s Institute on Leadership and Disability (WILD) program – express in their own powerful voices and signs what it means to be a leader in the global community of disabled women.

The live performance of the event - which premiered in Eugene, Oregon in December 2019 - and video production were possible with sponsorship from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Now, MIUSA supporters around the world are invited to attend an online watch party of the video recording!
