UI Dance presents Franklin + Madden Thesis Concert
<p><strong>Franklin + Madden Dance Thesis Concert</strong><br>Saturday, April 17 at 8:00 p.m. CST<br><a href="https://virtualdance.studio.uiowa.edu/" target="_blank">virtualdance.studio.uiowa.edu</a></p><p>This virtual concert will feature works by MFA candidates Laila J. Franklin and Jessica Madden.</p><p><em><strong>Space Cadet</strong></em><br>Direction, lead choreography, and performance by Laila J. Franklin<br>Performance and co-choreography by Jaki Bass and Ianka Hou<br>In my thesis project, <em>Space Cadet</em>, I am investigating black women and women of color’s slippery presence in performance through collaboratively devised solos. I am interested in the (in)visibility of lived experience and am curious about the residues of subjugation and erasure in the body. Through this process, I am working to activate a methodology of kinetic imagination that might serve in reorienting marginalized and oppressed bodies towards new possible futures: I am seeking to activate the body as a living and reflexive archive and a futuring medium. How might we consciously and strategically tap into our kinesthetically stored and sensation-based memories and present realities and allow them to be generative in our making? How might we support each other in a practice of re-visioning, orienting the knowledge stored within our bodies toward futures that serve ours and our communities’ greatest good? In this process, I employed black performance technologies from dance, music, and theater traditions, exploring the space these make for embodied knowledge – what viscerally felt and experience - to act as a primary source.</p><p><strong><em>Between the Waves</em></strong><br>Choreography and Direction by Jessica Madden<br>Choreography and performance by Danica Clayton, Erin Evans, Michael Landez, Juliet Remmers, Jensen Steinbronn<br>This work is an examination of empathy, grounded in themes of recovery and resilience. Looking to the body as a site of embodied memory and personal narrative, my goal has been to facilitate engagement with these embodied layers of experience, and to draw upon them as a primary source of movement generation. Recovery is generally thought of as a return to normalcy, but after engaging in this area of research, my question has become: what is “normal,” especially when the event in question leaves one’s self or situation permanently altered? As Bessel van der Kolk points out, in his book The Body Keeps The Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma: ". . . what has happened cannot be undone. But what can be delt with are the imprints of the trauma on body, mind, and soul . . . The challenge of recovery is to reestablish ownership of your body and your mind – of your self" (205). As humans, we carry the imprints of our experience and memories around with us, and recovery cannot begin to take place until we begin to grapple with, and learn how to own and carry them in a way that allows us to heal and move forward. While it is not my intention, nor my qualification, to serve as therapist or counselor in this environment, my hope has been to create space for self-directed introspection and processing within this creative research process.</p><p>Join us at <a href="https://virtualdance.studio.uiowa.edu/">virtualdance.studio.uiowa.edu </a>for this free performance. Tickets are not required.</p><p>Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend all University of Iowa-sponsored events.

Spirituality in the 21st Century: Flaring Forth into Fullness of Life with Prairiewoods
<p>Friday, April 30, 7–9 p.m., & Saturday, May 1, 9 a.m.–3 p.m.</p><p>Prairiewoods celebrates our 25th Jubilee with a truly special Spirituality in the 21st Century event, offered entirely online via Zoom. This year’s online gathering features Thomas Berry biographers Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim from the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology (https://fore.yale.edu/). Tucker and Grim are the executive producers of the Emmy Award–winning film Journey of the Universe, narrated by Brian Swimme (https://www.journeyoftheuniverse.org/). This year’s event also welcomes eco-philosopher David Abram, founding director of the Alliance for Wild Ethics (https://wildethics.org/) and author of Spell of the Sensuous and Becoming Animal. We will also be joined by Joanna Macy–protégé and Active Hope aficionada Kathleen Rude, author of the eco-mystical novel The Redemption of Red Fire Woman (https://gaiawisdom.org/). The beautiful musical accompaniment of Sara Thomsen (https://sarathomsen.com) will weave lyrical poetry throughout the weekend. This event promises to be one of profound story, an opportunity for healing and refreshment, a wakeful enlightenment for our imagination with music as balm for the soul, and a gentle invitation for immersion into the wider “We” we have been longing for with all our hearts. From Prairiewoods’ founding until 2021, our mission has been framed with the Universe Story, a 13.7-billion-year journey that celebrates the wild fecundity of life from the Great Flaring Forth forward. Mary Evelyn and John share a passion and abiding love for the pioneering work of self-described “geologian” Thomas Berry, as well as his field’s foremost formative architect, Jesuit paleontologist and eco-philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, SJ. They will take us along on a fantastic exploration of how Teilhard’s and Thomas’ work continues to unfold in eco-spirituality circles today. As a spellbinding artist and cartographer of the numinous in creation, David captivates listeners with his uncanny ability to draw us into communion with the breathing, animate Earth, a community of living subjects all pulsating with the rhythm of the unfolding cosmos. After an hour or two with David submerging us in what Berry called the “single gorgeous celebratory event” that is creation, we will begin to feel more in sync with our creature-kin and arbor-elders, the stones and the crashing waves, than we ever thought possible. And as an environmentalist, shamanic practitioner, writer and activist/educator, Kathleen will invite us to enter into the very fabric of creation’s extended family, the ineffable beauty and mystery of the web of life, as healing for our spiritual malaise. Along with our beloved musician-of-Earth Sara Thomsen, they will coax us (ala Thoreau) to “live deep and suck all the marrow out of life,” and celebrate the unfolding of the Universe Story as a context for spiritual sojourners in 2021. This two-day event will take place entirely online via Zoom, and the cost is $75. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700. If you are up for the mission, come expecting the joy of surprise and a taste of new life!</p><p><br></p> 2021-02-06 21:00:00 -0600
