Where Seeds Have Grown
May 18, 2:00-4:00 : Alejandro Madrid & capoeira music
UIC professor of Latin American Studies Alejandro Madrid leads a guest lecture. Alejandro is a musicologist and cultural theorist whose research focuses on the intersection of modernity, tradition, globalization, and identity in music and expressive culture from Mexico, the U.S.-Mexico border, and the circum-Caribbean. His current research interests include transnational history and method, performance studies, and postnational theory. Following his discussion, will be a music class to explore modes of percussion & storytelling in the Afro-Brazilian and the modern African-American diaspora.
May 20, 5:30-7:30 : Dani Bryant
The philosophy of this Personal Theater Workshop is creatively exploring one's self and applying the personal to art can aid in connection to any material. The opportunity for intimacy and trust provided by this class and demanded by the focus on the personal is an especially important (albeit often demanding and challenging) gift this class has to offer. By building bridges between their experience and the arts, participants build confidence and see their everyday lives as extraordinary stories. The workshop aims to help participants to develop the creativity and confidence to imagine their own lives and explore their personal voices, develop the collective voice of the group and finally to share themselves with the community through theater.
