We invite you to join the opening event of “Continuing the Conversation: Reimagining, Rebuilding, Reconnecting” as we explore this theme through this participatory performance with Thirdspace Playback Theatre Edmonton. We will be inviting attendees to share their stories of how they envision dismantling current social structures and recreate a world based on equity, justice and peace.

Playback Theatre is a form of improvisational theatre in which audience members tell stories from their lives and actors reflect them back through movement, words, and music. Since the onset of the pandemic, our company has moved our in-person form on-line, adapting Playback theatre in order to continue creating a space to encourage connection and communication by sharing personal stories.
All levels of participation are welcome. We invite you to share your stories or simply listen and watch the performance, at the level in which you feel comfortable.

Everyone is welcome!

Nanea Renteria and Daniel Santiago Sáenz

Nanea and Daniel will look at the interrelationship between gender, colonialism, and coloniality through a series of case studies from different disciplinary formations, temporal settings, and geographic locations. By understanding that invasion and settler colonialism are not singular events, but rather systems and structures that continue to operate throughout the Americas, this talk will encourage attendees to un-settle relationships between colonialism and dominant understandings of gender. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in an interactive close reading of visual and textual sources and we will, as a group, develop practical ways of working through these materials.

Kieren de la Rue, University of Regina

As our classrooms become increasingly diverse in numerous ways, it is more important than ever that we build spaces that support the learning and engagement of all. The move to remote or online learning that many are now experiencing brings an opportunity to rethink our pedagogy and practice that can improve the learning experience for everyone. This webinar will include discussions of practices such as universal design for learning that can improve the experience for all students and instructors who have varying identities and differences, including various cultures, genders and sexualities, those who are neuro-divergent, and those with varying disabilities.

All Dawson Faculty and Staff welcome!

Visual artist Lux Habrich, will discuss the evolution of her studio practice and share the research and process of her most recent sculptural series titled “Ritual Objects for Disordered and Displaced Bodies”. Her interest in ritual objects and commemorative practices stem from her deeply complex and (often) contradic-tory upbringing between a plurality of belief systems.
