Building Blocks: Four Anxious and Undisciplined Hybrids Consider Creativity Thursday, Mar. 19, 1:45 - 2:45 pm, Benson, Room TBA This panel is conducted by 4 University of North Carolina School of the Arts (UNCSA) academic faculty who consider themselves hybrids. As practicing artists, they each pay close attention to the nature of creativity and how it can be both cultivated and limited by disciplinary constraints. As academic professionals, they recognize the difficulty of husbanding a "space" for creativity in an institutional environment. They will share practices and concerns in a session that is part dialogue and workshop that it is both wide-ranging and concrete.
