Suncoast Music Education Research Symposium XIII Creativity: The Good Life, Spirituality, and the Natural Progression of the Universe
|
|
Center for Music Education Research, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL
AND
Livestream
|
|
Creativity is an essential component of a life well-lived—the good life that the ancient Greeks spoke of. We can theorize about the beginning of time when perhaps a profound imbalance set into motion a natural progression that is furthered every time human beings come together, and amplified every time they come together to make music. Our individual journeys take on a metaphysical dimension when we consider that our creative pursuits follow this progression, feeding our human spirit—our spirituality. We are much better together than we are when we are separate. This conference is all about these ideas and the ones that emerge from our discussions.
Hybrid Design
Suncoast XIII will feature research, conceptual work, and practical application of matters related to everything that touches creativity, notions of the good life, spirituality and progress. We have designed it in a hybrid (face-to-face and virtual) way to be flexible to the challenges that a global pandemic might present us with. This symposium is open to research, conceptual, and practical work that focuses on aspects of creativity in both traditional and non-traditional settings. We believe in the reality of multiple manifestations of creativity in music education and in the concept and practice of creativities—new and emerging interdisciplinary musical performance, composition, improvisation, and critique that do not fit into neat categories. We invite participation in this symposium that emphasizes participant interactions and tangible products.
Edited Volume
We will be pulling together a number of the contributions to this symposium and working with authors on an edited volume that will run parallel to Suncoast XIII, focusing on emergent discourse. Information on dissemination will be shared on the final morning of the symposium.
Media Journal in Music Education
We will be inviting participants to consider submitting a 5-7 minute video for publication in the MJME. www.mjme.net
