Hi! Welcome!

THIS IS AN INVITATION TO ACTIVATE YOUR IMAGINATION!
WHAT YOU MAKE IN THIS PROCESS, WILL BE MATERIAL FOR AN ONLINE ART SHOW—PARTICIPATION IN THE SHOW IS VOLUNTARY
We will use Padlet boards as our main shared space to share our art and connect with each other. Our Padlet boards are password protected. You will get the password after you register and attend our introduction meeting. Contact Catalina at chernan@illinois.edu if you have problems with the password.
IN PADLET WE WILL HAVE:
A Main Board for you to post free reflections
Weekly Boards with new prompts each time. You will find the prompts and the link to the board IN THIS PAGE.
To post in Padlet:
Each FRIDAY, I will post a question and a prompt to explore that question together, through different art experiments.
You can post your contributions and respond to others’ any time of the week—and even after the week has passed.
Every week I will hold synchronous gathering time to hang out, move, and chat about the experience: these are OPTIONAL, but suggested. Gatherings* are Mondays, 5pm. (these days/times are subject to change)
Main Board
The Main Board in Padlet, will be the space for you to share open reflections, thoughts… You can add free versions of your art. I will also share questions, thoughts, and invitations. STAY TUNED!

Score 3: What bodies are part of our daily lives? Which gestures/movements keep us connected with loved ones?
Inhabit gestures of loved ones…
Think of a characteristic gesture/movement of a loved one. Study that gesture in your body. Inhabit it. Make it into a micro-dance of 30 seconds to 1 minute long. Record it. Tell a short story about this person and this gesture: how does this gesture speak about you? Your history?
Offering: Witness the board with gestures of loved ones. Read the stories that live with the gestures. Learn one or more gesture micro-dances. Record it and post it to “echo” and support it.
