In October 2018, Argentine tango musicians Sonia Possetti and Damián Bolotin visited Emory as artists in residence. During their visit, they sat down to talk about composition with student composers. This podcast features excerpts of that talk. Watch the original recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrBw-ozCmpo&list=PLCAC61A4AB786C00E&index=7&t=0s Follow us! Facebook Instagram
The Creativity Conversations podcast is back from its hiatus. The introduction to this episode was recorded in the spring of 2021. Amos P. Kennedy Jr. and Randall K. Burkett sit down in the Rose Library at Emory University for a lively conversation about Kennedy and his work. Kennedy, who left a corporate job more than 20 years ago to pursue his artistic passions full-time, uses an old-fashioned letterpress printer to make colorful chipboard posters with social, political, racial, and inspirational messages. Kennedy also makes beautiful hand-made books. The Rose Library holds a collection of his work. The audio for this conversation comes from a video recording of the event in March 2016. Watch the full video. This conversation is introduced by host/Emory Arts employee Maggie Beker and artist, then Emory Student, and Conversations with Eggs: Virtual Arts Zine editor James Reich. Beker and Reich introduce the podcast and discuss how Reich approaches his own creativity. View Reich's own work: https://jameshastur.com/ This program is part of the Rosemary M. Magee Creativity Conversation endowed series.
This Creativity Conversation podcast audio is pulled and edited down from the live 2016 Rosemary Magee Creativity Conversation: The Political Body with Anat Grigorio and Hillel Kogan. Emory senior dance lecturer Greg Catellier moderates a conversation about the process of creating political art in a world of strident discourse between Israeli choreographer Anat Grigorio, Israeli choreographer Hillel Kogan, and 7 Stages artistic director Heidi Howard. This Rosemary Magee Creativity Conversation was sponsored in part by the EXPOSED festival with collaborators from Core Dance, 7 Stages Theatre, Emory University Dance Program/Candler Concert Series, Rialto Center for the Arts at Georgia State University and Kennesaw State University’s Departments of Theatre and Performance Studies and Dance.
