A Suitcase Full of Voices

Presenter: Dr. Kathryn Ricketts, Faculty of Education, University of Regina ABSTRACT: This performative presentation explores the connections to autobiographical and embodied forms of inquiry, excavating and expressing stories within our lives. Ricketts integrates arts-based methods of Embodied Poetic Narrative (EPN) to construct a shared pedagogical space rich in the details of our shared lives. She invites the body’s centre of gravity to shift and thereby provoke the axis of knowing to be disrupted. This process results in lived experiences re-interpreted, re-storied, and then re-imagined with others. This presentation will invite participants into playful interactions, exploring their own embodied narratives. Everyone is welcome. Coffee and cookies are provided. No registration is required.
