Final Organizer Roundtable Discussion

by

This roundtable by Ohio State University Professors Harmony Bench (Associate Professor, Department of Dance), Yana Hashamova (Professor and Chair of the Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures), Hannah Kosstrin (Associate Professor, Department of Dance), and Danielle Schoon (Senior Lecturer, Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures), comes at the conclusion of their 2020-21 project Audiences and Online Reception: Before and After COVID, funded by a Global Arts and Humanities Discovery Theme Special Grants Initiative.

Audiences and Online Reception: Before and After COVID examines the impact of COVID-19 and quarantine experiences on artistic and cultural production by examining historical precedents, considering audiences in their social contexts, and imagining possible futures based on how audiences are currently forming. This project asks: How does COVID-19 impact cultural production, reception, and circulation? How are artists and scholars evolving their creative practices and research methods in response to quarantine experiences? What engagement strategies are cultural institutions pursuing to develop new audiences as their venues shutter? How are online and offline audiences responding to changes wrought by COVID-19? In what ways do audiences participate in creating meaning and social narratives, particularly during unstable political climates past and present?

About the Master Class

The Feldenkrais Method is a somatic approach to education and self-inquiry developed by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais (1904-84), a renowned Israeli physicist, engineer and Judo master. In a group class, or Awareness Through Movement® lesson, the teacher verbally guides students through a particular movement sequence. These movements are performed with minimal effort, as easily and pleasantly as possible, with the aim of heightening kinesthetic sensitivity and improving the ability to detect differences so that the finer details of the self and surroundings can be better sensed. In this way, people effectively learn to become aware of what they are doing (as opposed to what they say or think they are doing), let go of unnecessary efforts and mobilize their intention into action.
