SUMMARY:PLAYTELLIGENCE: Play & Learning Beyond Borders
DESCRIPTION:Free Online Global Playshops\, June 28th & 29th\, 2024 \nCan learning be more playful for both students and teachers? \nRenowned educator and author Sir Ken Robinson\, famously stated\, “Creativity is as important as literacy.” This sentiment underscores the fundamental role of play in education. Research supports the notion that play enhances cognitive abilities\, creativity\, and emotional intelligence. Dr. Stuart Brown\, founder of the National Institute for Play\, affirms\, “Play shapes our brain\, fosters empathy\, and promotes adaptability.” \nEven neuroscientists have studied the neurological mechanisms underlying play and learning. Dr. Sergio Pellis\, a researcher at the University of Lethbridge\, notes\, “Play is not frivolous; it’s a powerful mode of learning that shapes the architecture of the developing brain.” Through play\, children engage in exploration\, experimentation\, and social interaction\, laying the foundation for lifelong learning. \n“PLAYTELLIGENCE: Play and Learning Beyond Borders” presents an opportunity to delve into the transformative power of play in education. This series of workshops will explore ways we learn and grow: young and old developing cognitively\, creatively\, emotionally through collective play. In a world where education is increasingly seen as a pathway to success\, it’s important to explore unconventional avenues that foster holistic development across generational lines. \nIs it possible for learning and education to be more playful for both students and teachers? How can we play practically and philosophically in learning\, teaching\, problem solving\, and communicating? \nJoin us on a journey of discovery at Global Play Brigade’s June 2024 Global Playsop. Engage with teachers\, students\, researchers\, lovers of knowledge\, readers\, educators\, and learning enthusiasts from around the globe as we explore the transformative potential of play in education. Together\, we’ll unlock the boundless possibilities of PLAYTELLIGENCE and pave the way for a brighter\, more playful future.

SUMMARY:Are You Mad Like Me? : Reimagining Psych Cemetery Spaces
DESCRIPTION:“Are you mad like me? / Have you seized back your dreams / in the fists of your crumpled wings?” In this proof-of-concept performance-lecture\, spoken word poet\, sci-fi writer\, and performance activist Steven T. Licardi introduces us to the remains of several state hospital cemeteries scattered around the United States and abroad. He will be sharing works of original film\, photography\, and poetry\, composed and capture on-site\, and will be inviting participants to imagine the future of these forlorn spaces. Part performance\, part memoir\, this event represents nearly a decade of reflection on the part of the artist\, and represents an invitation to reflect with him. Come prepared to be both disturbed and overjoyed.

SUMMARY:Art with your Cuppa
DESCRIPTION:Raquell Holmes has selected paintings\, photos and drawings from the art collection of LeVell Holmes\, her father\, who collected engaging\, eclectic art from around the world\, with a focus on Black culture. The select pieces will be on display at Johnny’s Java\, Cotati CA\, throughout the festival. \nTake your picture with one of the art pieces and post it on the Festival’s Facebook page. Or\, better yet\, let the pieces of art inspire a poem and post that with your picture. \nDr. LeVell Holmes would have loved this festival! He was a cultural historian who felt that the ideal history professor is one who can talk about music\, science and art as well as political events. In addition to creating the Ethnic Studies program of Sonoma State University\, he found friends\, family and warmth in people around the world.
