SUMMARY:Thinking Spaces: annais linares\, "Co-Creative Accompaniment: Improvising Re[new]ed Relationships through Arts-Based Kin Making"
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Friday\, November 10 at 3 pm for Thinking Spaces: “Co-Creative Accompaniment: Improvising Re[new]ed Relationships through Arts-Based Kin Making” with annais linares.  \n\nThis presentation will take place in person at ImprovLab\, MCKN 108 at the University of Guelph\, as well as online via Zoom. As always\, our Thinking Spaces events are free! \n\nAbstract / Summary \nIn her colloquium presentation\, annais linares will discuss a socially-engaged art practice that brings together arts-based community making and kinning\, a verb described as ”…reconnecting our bodies\, minds\, and spirits within a world that is not merely a collection of objects but a ‘communion of subjects’…” by Gavin Van Horn\, co-editor of Kinship: Belonging in a World of Relations. \nannais describes this bridging as arts-based kin making. Her work studies improvisation and accompaniment as critical processes to ethically activate arts-based kin making in her communities\, and how those practices might lead to re[new]ed relationships between humans\, and between human and more-than-human life. She will discuss the relevance of this practice within the contexts of community health\, [species] loneliness\, and related arts-based community making projects. \nShort Bio \nannais linares is a musician and socially engaged artist who is currently in the Critical Studies in Improvisation PhD program at the University of Guelph. Her research focuses on co-creative art-making\, improvisation and collective care. \n\n\nTo attend the talk in-person or online\, RSVP via our Google Forms.

SUMMARY:Thinking Spaces: Joe Sorbara\, "Attending to the Social Space of The Music: Self-Expression as a Site of Pedagogy | Questioning the ways that I teach creative music making"
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Wednesday\, November 22 at 10:00 AM for Thinking Spaces: “Attending to the Social Space of The Music: Self-Expression as a Site of Pedagogy | Questioning the ways that I teach creative music making” with Joe Sorbara.  \n\nThis presentation will take place in person at ImprovLab\, MCKN 108 at the University of Guelph\, as well as online via Zoom.

In preparation for this phase of their work\, which will be to study the ways that other improvisers conceive of the music\, talk about the music\, share the music with others\, Sorbara invites participants in this colloquium presentation to help question\, problematise\, and otherwise unsettle some of the basic tendencies and assumptions that have arisen in the presenter’s writing. \nMore about the speaker:\nCanadian drummer and percussionist Joe Sorbara has spent decades developing a reputation as a dedicated and imaginative performer\, composer\, improviser\, collaborator\, organiser\, listener\, writer\, and educator.

SUMMARY:Thinking Spaces: Dr. Darren Hamilton\, "Exploring and Experimenting with Gospel Vocal Improvisation"
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Friday\, November 24 at 1:00 PM for Thinking Spaces: “Exploring and Experimenting with Gospel Vocal Improvisation” with Dr. Darren Hamilton.  \n\nThis presentation will take place in person at ImprovLab\, MCKN 108 at the University of Guelph\, as well as online via Zoom. As always\, our Thinking Spaces events are free! \n\nMore about this talk:\nGospel music has influenced many genres of music including\, soul\, R&B and pop.

You may even learn a gospel song in the process! \nMore about the speaker:\nDr. Darren Hamilton is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Music at the University of Toronto.
