042 — What Color is Love? with Alexandra, Lucy, Mary, Antoinette & Jeri
Dr. Fred is joined today by five guests, collaborators on an art project called What Color is Love? This group of artists came together to produce a short video piece for the 2020 Virtual Year-End Vacation course offered by Landmark Education's Wisdom Division. The theme of this year's course is “Celebration of Humanity.” Ultimately, the team created a piece that incorporates song, poetry, dance, visual beauty, and an invitation to reflect on a provocative question.
Creative Team:
Alexandra Isaievych > visual artist, dancer
Lucy Pearce > poet
Mary Alterman > visual artist
Antoinette Cooper > poet, singer, photographer
Jeri Passaro > Designated Listener
Other contributors to the creative project:
Jurni Roco > dancer
Marty Alterman > video editor
Nestor Chornovus > video editor
Today’s show explores the project background and the team’s process of collaboration and co-creation. Dr. Fred and guests share insights on:
Collaborating from a place of “not knowing”
Unique discoveries made by the artists in the process
The joy (and discomfort) of generating and birthing this artistic contribution
Why shared discomfort can be experienced as beautiful
The relationship between privilege and comfort
Listening as an active communication skill
Dance as a “universal remedy”
