(Workshops)
In the Midst of Strangers
Migration and Constructed Identities (process 1b) In the Midst of Strangers is a visual examination of difference, sameness, and the struggle to cultivate and maintain identity against the push of hegemony.
Migration and Constructed Identities: these sections of the work are being choreographed for ten to twenty dancers. The spoken text (not shown here) is taken from collected migration narratives; and original and published music.
What happens at intersections of cutting edge science, migration,
What can physics teach us about human emotions, spiritual well-being, and vulnerability? What can everyday human experience teach us about physics?
We (De-Napoli Clarke who appeared virtually, and Jiannis Pachos, Panagiotis Pantidos, and I) had a fabulous time delivering the presentation Break-in Point: Somatic Narratives, the convergence of art and science in the transformation of temporal communities at the 2015 SDHS/CORD (Society of Dance History Scholars/the Congress on Research in Dance) Conference held in June 4 -7 in Athens, Greece.


Excerpt from Break-in’ Point, an arts and science collaboration with professional dance artist, De-Napoli Clarke , theoretical physicist, Jiannis Pachos, and myself, was sponsored by the University of Leeds Department of Physics and Astronomy and Stage@Leeds at University of Leeds. The project enjoyed two well received performances at the Stage@Leeds, at the University of Leeds, 7 June and 18 September 2012.

Reflections on the body and theology engagement project and workshop series Body Matters: Somatic Conversations on Christianity, Love, and Justice are being compiled, analyzed, written up for publication. This initiative has been particularly timely given the dynamic issues around justice, love, and black bodies in the United States, the politics of bodies in the Ukraine, the challenges to ethically appropriate responses to climate change and other ongoing issues of justice and the bodies of vulnerable peoples throughout the world, and the varying Christian responses.
