What makes me curious?
Curiosity and Connection: A Performance invites us to explore: what makes us curious? When can I lean in and what shuts down my curiosity? How do I stay open to curiosity, or why should I?
-
What brings me a sense of awe?
What are small moments of awe that I can find around me regularly? What are “big awe” moments that I cherish? What is the connection between curiosity and awe?
-
How does my curiosity help me connect to others?
How does my curiosity help me stay open? What kinds of questions can I rely on to help me remember how to be curious when faced with difference and discomfort?
“...one of the core functions of art in society: to bring diverse groups of people together into a shared experience, creating empathy and openness to new perspectives of viewing the world”
*Deep Learning in a Disorienting World by Jon F. Wergin
This performance was created by artists and educators who collaborate to build new things together, through CO-ACTION: a shared experience of asking, answering, and making together.
