Join actor Kristina Mueller and poet Amy Beth Sisson in this master class setting. Observe as Kristina works with Amy Beth to lift one of her written works off the page and into the world of living, breathing performance. The aim is to help writers analyze and rehearse their work, as well as experience their poems with fresh eyes and ears. Performing a poem mindfully helps play on its strengths (image, music, repetition, contradiction, emphasis.)

Kristina Mueller is an actor and writer, originally from Munich, Germany, and currently based in Los Angeles. She studied theatre at NYU/Tisch (BFA) and at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. She has performed opposite Wallace Shawn at The Public Theatre in NYC, at the New York and Hollywood Fringe festivals, as well as off-Broadway, and at various theatres in LA. She loves to bake & hang out with her goofy dog, Gigi.

Amy Beth Sisson lives near the skunk cabbages in a town outside of Philly. Her poetry has appeared or is upcoming in One Art, The Night Heron Barks, The Shoutflower, Hot Pink Magazine and others. She received her MFA in poetry in 2023 from Rutgers Camden, is an Associate Artist for the Institute for the Study of Global Racial Justice, and an Editorial and Special Projects Assistant for Fence.
