Along with the theatre productions, the Festival's programming will include these individual collaborators for SFSS 2022: Lecture-Demonstration with filmmaker, performer, hip hop artist, and educator Julian Alexander, "An Intimate Connection: A gathering about consensual staging of intimacy in the theatre" by intimacy directors Zoe Burke and Antonio Miniño, "Classical Dining around the Med: Food in Ancient Greece and Rome" with chef Suzanne Cross, Richard III, a one man show produced, adapted, and performed by theatre artist Charles Lear, "Ancient Greece and Rome" with historian, archaeologist, and classical scholar Duane W.
