SUMMARY:Thinking Spaces: Rebecca Barnstaple\, "Fidelity for the Irreplicable: Improvisation in Dance and Health Research"
DESCRIPTION:Our next Thinking Spaces session\, “Fidelity for the Irreplicable: Improvisation in Dance and Health Research” is presented by Rebecca Barnstaple\, and takes place Wednesday\, March 15 at 2pm ET. The talk includes a movement demonstration and takes place in-person in our brand new ImprovLab. \nRegister through our google form to attend! \nMore about the talk:\nImprovisation is a core element of some interventions in the emerging fields of dance for health and dance therapy\, which have shown potential to slow progress or diminish symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alheimer’s. IMPROVment® is a dance-based improvisational movement practice for brain-body health developed at Wake Forest University. It has been used in several research studies\, including a recently completed RCT (2017 – 2020) and a just-launched 5-year RCT investigating dose and frequency effects of dance interventions for adults with subjective memory loss. This talk explores how tools related to improvisation can be adapted to a research-ready scientific protocol while preserving their integrity and magic – includes a demonstration. \nMore about the speaker:\nRebecca Barnstaple is the Manager of Community Programs and Engagement at Chigamik Community Health Centre in Midland\, Ontario\, a tri-cultural agency offering a range of services from Traditional Healing and social prescribing to mental health and primary care.

SUMMARY:Thinking Spaces: Rashida K. Braggs\, "Black Women Who Move Jazz Methodologies"
DESCRIPTION:Thinking Spaces\, the Improvisation Reading Group and Speaker Series\, considers the ways in which improvisation can provide us with new ways of thinking and acting. The group is open to all—community members\, faculty\, and students—and presents several in-person and online events per semester. \nOur next session\, “Black Women Who Move Jazz Methodologies”\, is presented by scholar Dr. Rashida K. Braggs. The talk takes place Monday\, March 6 from 1-2:30 pm in-person at MacKinnon 103\, University of Guelph\, and online via Zoom. Sign up through our registration form to attend in-person or online. A Zoom link will be sent to participants email address the day before the event. \nMore About this Talk:\nHow do you make a book move? Move to depart and return to the diverse homes of Black African diasporic women… move in the word-sound-mood tones of the jazz they perform… move readers to resonate and sense their experiences beyond static pages of academic prose. \nIn this presentation\, Rashida K. Braggs discusses her methodological moves that mix dance ethnography\, songwriting\, and playwriting in her book-performance in progress on the migrations of black women jazz performers to Paris\, France. Braggs guides us through an early chapter where she weaves her material and embodied research on the Malagasy-Senegalese singer MFA Kera and Beninese singer Angelique Kidjo as they first migrate to Paris in 1969 and 1983 respectively.  \nMore About the Speaker:\nRashida K. Braggs is Associate Professor in Africana Studies and a faculty affiliate in Comparative Literature at Williams College. Her book Jazz Diasporas: Race\, Music and Migration in Post-World War II Paris investigates the migratory experiences of African American jazz musicians in 1946-1963 Paris. In her current manuscript and accompanying performance project “Move Jazz\, Black Woman Move\,” she explores how and why black women jazz performers of African descent migrate to and from Paris from 1969-2019. \nRashida K. Braggs is also a scholar-performer who acts\, dances\, sings\, composes music and performs spoken word. Trained in Performance Studies\, Communications\, Theater Studies\, and English\, she consistently weaves performance through her pedagogy and scholarship. Jacob’s Pillow\, the Williams College Museum of Art\, the Tapir gallery and the United Solo Theatre Festival have featured her performances.

SUMMARY:Thinking Spaces: "Improv for Scientists"
DESCRIPTION:Thinking Spaces: The Improvisation Reading Group and Speaker Series is pleased to present “Improv for Scientists”: Joanne O’Meara in conversation with Shoshanah Jacobs. This event will take place on Wednesday\, February 8 at 1pm (ET) in-person (MacKinnon building\, room 103\, University of Guelph) as well as streamed online (via Zoom). A moderated Q&A will follow the talk. If you are interested in attending in-person or online\, please register via this link: https://uoguel.ph/thinkingspacesimprovforscientists. A Zoom link will be sent to your email the day before the event. MORE ABOUT THIS TALK: Improvisational exercises have been a key element of theatre training for decades. With minor modification\, these same exercises can be used in training scientists (and future scientists) to be better communicators. I’ll discuss my use of improv with our physics majors at U of G and give some examples of the science-y twists we throw on the activities to suit our purposes. MORE ABOUT OUR SPEAKERS: Dr. Joanne O’Meara has been a professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Guelph for more than 20 years\, serving for almost 10 of those years as the Associate Chair (undergraduate). Joanne earned her PhD in Medical Physics from McMaster University and has since transitioned to a focus on Physics Education in her scholarly work. She is an award-winning educator with a deep commitment to her students.  Her most recent project involves the launch of a non-profit organization\, Royal City Science\, with the ultimate goal of building a new\, state-of-the-art\, science centre for southwestern Ontario. Dr. Shoshanah Jacobs takes a systems approach to answering questions that are relevant within the communities that they work with. It means that they spend a lot of time learning about other disciplines. Their research expertise includes eco-physiology and biomimetics (aka biomimicry) and they apply this training to help communities develop nature-inspired solutions to challenges. They have worked with the community of Guelph in identifying ways to accessibly reduce the use of single-use plastics\, and have tracked the way that personal-protective equipment (PPE) moves through and away from the waste stream to affect wildlife around the world. Dr. Jacobs started the BioM Knowledge Access Lab research group in 2012 to make science knowledge more accessible to community members and to engage the community in designing more inclusive ways of collecting information. They are an Associate Professor in the Department of Integrative Biology. Ask them why Gentoo Penguins are simply the best.

SUMMARY:Thinking Spaces: Darren O'Donnell
DESCRIPTION:Thinking Spaces: The Improvisation Reading Group and Speaker Series is pleased to present “Chance as Co-Director: Working with the Whims of Children\,” a talk by Darren O’Donnell. This event will take place on Wednesday\, January 18 at 10am (ET)\, online (via Zoom). A moderated Q&A will follow the talk. \nIf you are interested in attending\, please register via this link: https://uoguel.ph/tsdarrenodonnell. A Zoom link will be sent to your email the day before the event. \nMORE ABOUT THIS TALK: \nIn this talk\, Darren will discuss how a number of projects developed and presented through Mammalian Diving Reflex—the research-art atelier that Darren directs—were conceived through chance encounters with kids\, and then how they were shaped and how they evolved in response to the interest of the kids. \nDarren will discuss how Mammalian Diving Reflex works with young people in the long term\, accommodating the specific youth who come to us\, rather than through an audition or hiring process. There’s a good deal of chance and\, in fact\, faith in that. \nDarren will also introduce a model he uses to evaluate the various dimension of rigour in a project and\, specifically\, how social rigour relies on being very open to chance\, as opposed to physical rigour (think cirque du soleil as the ultimate in physical rigour) where chance is absolutely the enemy—in performance\, at least. \nMORE ABOUT OUR SPEAKER: \nDarren O’Donnell is an urban cultural planner\, novelist\, essayist\, playwright\, filmmaker\, performance director and the Artistic and Founding Director of Mammalian Diving Reflex. His books include: Your Secrets Sleep with Me (2004); Social Acupuncture (2006)\, which argues for an aesthetic of civic engagement; and Haircuts by Children and Other Evidence for a New Social Contract (2018)\, which proposes the cultural sector as a site to pilot a new social contract with children. His performance works include Haircuts by Children\, All the Sex I’ve Ever Had\, The Children’s Choice Awards and Teentalitarianism. His model for long-term collaboration with young people is being applied in London\, Bochum\, Milan\, and Berlin. He is interested in expanding and rethinking the role that cultural intuitions play in the world\, particularly around long-term engagement and collaborative friendships that extend into the community. \nHis institutional collaborators have included the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria\, the Humboldt Forum\, the Tate Modern and Tate Britain\, the West Kowloon Cultural District\, the London International Festival of Theatre\, the Metropolitan Region of Rhine-Neckar\, the Schauspielhaus Bochum and the Portland Institute of Contemporary Art.

SUMMARY:Workshop with meLê yamomo: "Post:Migrant Presences"
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, December 2 // 10am – 2:30pm EDTRegistration limited—sign up here!8/15 spots reserved for BIPOC participantslunch providedUniversity of Guelph103 Mackinnon Building87 Trent Lane \nHow can ‘presence’ interrupt dominant aesthetics? How could the inhabiting of the here and now be a revolutionary act? If history is a musical score of modernity or a play script of colonial conquest\, how can improvisation be a radical act of decoloniality? \nThis workshop explores how ‘presence’ constitutes aesthetic experience\, and how the aesthetic reshifts how we compose or order the world. In understanding our movements\, mobilities\, and presences within social\, geographical\, and historical spaces\, how might our improvisation radically shift history?  Parousia\, according to philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer is the state of absolute presence—the timelessness of an experience despite and within its multiple repetitions in art and performance. In suspending time through parousia\, how can we decolonize fixed scores and deterministic dramaturgies to improvise and migrate our present to new futures? \nMORE ABOUT OUR SPEAKERS \nMELÊ YAMOMO\nmeLê yamomo lived in Lucena City\, Los Baños\, Metro Manila\, Seoul\, Bangkok\, Warwick\, and Munich\, and now inhabits Amsterdam and Berlin researching\, teaching\, and creating performance/theatre and sound/music.
