Ann Cooper Albright: reception & artist talk

The SRU Kaleidoscope Arts Festival welcomes dancer and scholar, Ann Cooper Albright, to discuss her latest book, How to Land: finding ground in an unstable world, recently published by Oxford University Press. In this talk, she will use examples from her work in Contact Improvisation to explore the physical and metaphysical implications of falling and failure in order to demonstrate that we can learn how to fall with grace instead of from grace. Sponsored by Kaleidoscope and the SRU Departments of Dance, English, Gender Studies & Philosophy.
