Proposal Title
WE-Connect, WE- Intersect: Community Performance of Dance and Music
Abstract
The Community of Scholars is a day where we creatively celebrate and inspire our academic community across schools, colleges, programs, and beyond. This project is designed to highlight the vibrant artistic talent and knowledge that we have at Lesley in the spirit of collaborative connections and social transformation. We intend to connect the community through a music and dance collaboration between the undergraduate and graduate artists and expressive therapists. The artistic performance is guided by critical approaches in music therapy and dance/movement therapy. Critical improvisation techniques will be explored. A range of embodied styles, images and use of dynamic space and the method of Clinical Listening < --- > Cultural Listening will be used. We are designing a movement/music/voice gathering as an expression of community and collaboration.
“If you look at a dancer in silence, his or her body will be the music. If you turn the music on, that body will become an extension of what you’re hearing.” Judith Jamison
