SUMMARY:IICSI Research Studio Session\, Featuring Dr. Rashida K. Braggs' "Amber in the City of Light"
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Friday\, April 12 at 9:00 AM (ET) for IICSI’s “Research Studio Session\, Featuring a Keynote Presentation by Dr. Rashida K. Braggs: Amber in the City of Light”  \nThe morning will begin with Dr. Braggs’ keynote\, followed by presentations of student work through the rest of the day. \nThis event will take place in person at ImprovLab\, MCKN 108 at the University of Guelph. The keynote presentation by Dr. Braggs will be streamed online via Zoom\, the student portion will be in person only.\n \nTo attend the Keynote Portion of our day of research\, please RSVP via our Google Forms. The studio session and keynote presentation are free and open to all!  \nMore About the Research Studio Session:\nThe idea is to encourage grad students in the IMPR program and students/researchers working as research assistants with IICSI to present short (3-5 minute) descriptions of their improvisation-related research or work at an end-of-semester gathering of other students\, as well as IICSI team members\, staff\, and invited guests. \nInspired\, in part\, by the “Three-Minute Thesis” competition for grad students\, we hope that participants will respond to the challenge to present their work and its wider impact and implications in plain language in five minutes or less.\n \nKicking off the Research Studio Session will be a keynote presentation by Dr. Rashida K. Braggs (Africana Studies\, Williams College\, USA)\, entitled “Amber in the City of Light” which will begin around 9:00 AM (ET). Dr. Braggs’ presentation will be streamed online via Zoom. \nMore About The Keynote Presentation:\nDr. Rashida K. Braggs will screen and discuss Amber in the City of Light\, a solo multimedia performance that shares and re-envisions the experiences of Black African diasporic women jazz artists who have migrated to Paris\, France. Culling original interviews\, field notes and archival research\, Dr. Rashida K. Braggs enacts multiple narratives through an embodied performance that merges original song\, dance\, poetry and theatre. \nMore About The Presenter:\n\nDr. Rashida K. Braggs is a scholar-performer who acts\, dances\, sings\, composes music and performs spoken word. Jacob’s Pillow\, Williams College Museum of Art\, the Tapir Art Gallery and the United Solo Theatre Festival have featured her performances.
