Sun Ra & Afrofuturism 11. Make a Play. Change the World. Understanding Goals What are the factors that have led to the current conditions of our community? How might we take a role in making a positive change in our community? How can our play be part of making these changes? 12. Make a Play. Change the World. Notice Connect Celebrate What do we see/hear/feel in our community? How do these things affect me and my relationship with you? What change could we make to make things better? What changed? What worked? Why? 13. Make a Play. Change the World. 1. Design the world that you want to live in. (Where) 1. How is it similar to our real world? 2. How it is different? 3.

The Origins of the Universe 16. Liz Lerman 17. Embodied Knowledge 18. Embodied Knowledge & The Origins of the Universe Understanding Goals What is the Big Bang Theory and how does it affect us here and now? Why do scientists continue to explore the origin of our universe? How can our dances help us to better understand our universe and how it was formed? 19. Slow, cold start to universe suggested Idea provides alternative to Big Bang theory of cosmic origin The universe may have emerged not with a hot Big Bang but with a long, cold slog, a physicist proposes in a paper posted online January 21 at arXiv.org. Over the last half-century, most cosmologists have come to agree that all matter initially exploded from a single point. An instant later, the hot, dense universe ballooned dramatically in an event called inflation. A slower expansion then proceeded for billions of years. But the Big Bang model requires the universe to start from what physicists call a singularity, a point of infinite density at which physical laws break down. A theory that avoids a singularity without introducing other complications would fit better with quantum mechanics and general relativity, physicists best explanations of natures fundamental forces. 20. Create Gestures 21. Liz Lerman: Critical Response Statements of Meaning: Responders state what was meaningful, evocative, interesting, exciting, striking in the work they have just witnessed. Artist as Questioner: The artist asks questions about the work. After each question, the responders answer. Responders may express opinions if they are in direct response to the question asked and do not contain suggestions for changes. Neutral (or Curious) Questions: Responders ask neutral questions about the work. The artist responds. Questions are neutral when they do not have an opinion couched in them. For example, if you are discussing the lighting of a scene, Why was it so dark? is not a neutral question. What ideas guided your choices about lighting? is. Opinion Time: Responders state opinions, subject to permission from the artist. The usual form is I have an opinion about ______, would you like to hear it? The artist has the option to decline opinions for any reason. 22. Artist/Researcher Statement Do I really deserve this? Should my name be on the same list as Einstein? It just seemed completely wrong. Over the years, I guess Ive come to understand that the Nobel Prize is given for discovering something, not for being the smartest person around. So, while there are much smarter people around, we did something significant and I feel comfortable with it now.
