Jorge Luis Morejon during the performance of the piece The Healing Power of Expression: A Journey of Pain, Trauma and Transformation within the context of Critical Readings in Caribbean Arts and Culture, Friday 12th September, 2014 at the School of Education's Auditorium, The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine.
Students in this course are drawn from all disciplines taught at the Department of Creative and Festival Arts or simply dcfa (Dance, Music, Visual Arts, Carnival Studies and Drama) and are required to work together to develop common understandings and appreciation of the arts they practise. Our talk was intended to help with this learning. In Mr. Rawle Gibbon's words, the course leader, sent to the guests in an email, he specifically, wanted us "through [our] own experience, to share:
1. What is the nature of your art/discipline?
2. How is the art made?
3. How do you recognize a product of your art as 'good'?
4. What is the state of reflection on your art in Trinidad and Tobago/ the Caribbean?
All this in 30 minutes max!
The full panel was integrated by Dr. Louis Regis, Mr. Raf
Robertson and Dr. Jorge Morejon.
"Thanks much for the example you set in our class yesterday. Your
performance showed us the courage and risk-taking that makes art
genuinely 'rewarding', the self-discipline that's the gift of training
and the clarity of the gifted teacher." Rawle Gibbons
