Description

Workshop with Ernesto Pujol As a social choreographer, Ernesto Pujol speaks of his cultural field practice as based on a methodology of vulnerability that triggers trust as the foundation for decolonizing and grounding public art. This three-hour immersive workshop is based on the basic training that Pujol provides his listener performers. It commences with a personal presentation on what the artist calls the intimate architecture of listening, followed by a group exercise that elicits individual listening memories, inviting sensitive participant interaction and culminating in a final moment of shared experiences. Open to Penn students, faculty and staff only. Requires Green Penn Open Pass and face mask. Space is limited. If you register and are not able to attend, please email [email protected] at least 48 hours prior to the event. The SNF Paideia program serves as a hub for civic dialogue in undergraduate education at Penn. In collaboration with other Penn programs and organizations, SNF Paideia provides opportunities for students to develop the knowledge, skills, ethical frameworks, and experiences necessary to be informed, engaged, and effective community members and leaders. We encourage the free exchange of ideas, civil and robust discussion of divergent views, and the integration of individual and community wellness, service, and citizenship through SNF Paideia designated courses, a fellows program, and campus events.
