StoryForward with Dan Schifrin, is a weekly Zoom conversation about the exploration of story. It is his framework for exhibiting a collection of public experiences and writing seminars dedicated to helping individuals and communities find their voice through our oldest social technology — story.

StoryForward continues on Sunday, May 17, at 2 pm with Hip-hop artist, playwright, and youth educator Dan Wolf. Dan will shares his experience connecting to communities around the world through music, drama… and silence. We’ll hear him perform live his new single, “Write the Revolution”; unpack his experiences creating theater with his teenage son; and drop us into his new curated writing project, VirtualSoundSilence, a meditation on our moment in history.

Join the conversation on Zoom, or watch on Facebook or the Jewishlive mindstage.

“Write The Revolution”

Dan Wolf’s latest hip hop, spoken word single is the first release from his debut album, “Blood and Bones, Skin and Scars”; a fearless exploration and expression of the core themes - creativity, community, vulnerability, legacy, activism, self-knowledge, family - that are resonating in his life.  The song is a funky, futuristic, retro, electro, B-boy anthem framed as a revolutionary party jam.
