Jazzin’ Womanist Expression & the Dancing Mind

Catalog description

Jazzin Womanist Expression and The Dancing Mind is a reflective project with resource toolkit for practitioners–educators and learners–to approach the artistry of relational engagement. This course interweaves threads of memoir, jazz improv sounds, artistic briefs to share insights and lessons about thriving amid unpredictable movements in group settings, classes, or public spheres. Can organic learning be facilitated like musical rifts of jazz improv to create justice environments that conjure new ways to teach, learn, and live a jazz life? Students examine a theology of being by crafting creatively subversive models using womanist expression and lived experiences to inspire positive instruments of change.
