EIA 0600 - International Arts and Culture Infusion

Institution:

Nova Southeastern University

Subject:

EIA - Interdisciplinary Arts

Description:

The International Arts and Culture Infusion Course has two components: the study of a unique interdisciplinary arts education methodology and the study of European Culture through field trips and on-site experience in and around the beautiful coastal village of Oskarshamn, Sweden. This course runs parallel to a Lovewell Cultural Exchange Workshop for Swedish and American teenagers being offered in the same location. Students will live and take their meals alongside the Lovewell staff, Swedish artists (in music, theatre, dance and design) and teenage artists enrolled in the Lovewell Program. Graduate students will participate in cultural field experiences such as informative tours of Axel Petersson's sculpture museum, the Kalmar Castle, local concerts and pre-Viking ruins on an island near Oskarshamn. Graduate students will also learn about the Lovewell Method. This methodology not only trains students in professional creative, conceptual and performing arts skills, it develops higher levels of social, organizational and motivational skills. Students interface with artists from Sweden and America and the artistic staff of a Lovewell Workshop in progress as they follow the development of the creative process through the opening night of an original bi-lingual interdisciplinary production as it is presented to the Swedish community. This experiential approach to a common goal project creates a fertile learning environment and an educational opportunity that stimulates many learning styles, especially in this highly aesthetic international setting. This course facilitates expansive and creative thinking in students, artists, teachers, schools and ultimately ripples out helping to create a true international cultural community. It also provides an unforgettable European adventure.
