In this course, students from many artistic disciplines will come together to create original artistic work inspired by their stories in order to foster community, dialogue, celebration, and provocation. We invite theater makers, dancers, poets, writers, visual artists, musicians, designers, film/photo/video makers, and animators interested in the collaborative process to join us. The course will be divided into four units, inspired by the core questions at the heart of the college's learning communities: in/justice; environments & change; media & technology; and time & narrative. In each unit, guest artists/scholars from across the campus will visit the class to share their scholarship, art, and stories and students will create collaborative work inspired by this learning and rooted in their own lives, bodies, identities, ancestries, and ideas. Through this exchange, we hope to build a laboratory of multi-disciplinary artistic expression that will illuminate the visionary imagination that helps our college to thrive.
