Light refreshments and snacks will be provided. Inspired by adrienne maree brown’s book Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds, this workshop explores the principles of emergence, interdependence, resilience, collaboration and communication through movement in the context of interfaith dialogue. Through improvisational practices, we will learn how small, adaptive changes can connect us across our differences and evolve over time.

Research as Action is a community-activated, dance-based research installation conceived by Artist in Residence Meshi Chavez. This event includes multiple formations of artistic processes, audience participation, and live music created by Lisa DeGrace and Debora Felmeth. Research as Action investigates the questions: How is the worth of dance determined when it is enmeshed in the very fabric of the lives of those living it? Is it possible to make tangible these unseen moments? This event can only accommodate 25 people. 5 people will participate at a time. There will be several start times.
