@inthehands awesome thread. i cannot support this idea more strongly than have lived it myself. diversity is how the universe operates, it only makes sense that we treat our education the same way.

i dislike the STEM movement. it pushes young minds to think they must work against their own sense of self to be successful in the world. i have a “STEM” job & my liberal arts education centered on music. none of our kids are doing STEM… it’s hospitality, theatre, and psychology. they’re doing great.

@RussSharek Wow I really love the Circus Freaks idea! Is it still going?

@RussSharek I gave this one in March. One drawback of the video is that my speaker mic doesn't capture the audience participation bit, but you will get the idea:

@RussSharek Intuition is wonderful like that, seeing what others don't and learning to spread expertise is what I do in my daily job in Resilience Engineering. My schooling and practice of improvisation and Deep Listening informs everything I do in my job in Tech. I give talks on the nature of improvisation, I studied to be an opera singer, and the first time I recognized the love of performing in myself is when my parents sent me to Clowning Camp one summer, and I remember it well.

@RussSharek Ahoy! Pleasure to connect!

@RussSharek I believe we are on the same music-people-to-follow list that I just loaded... or someone boosted you? All the same I see you're into improvisation, as am I, so it is nice to meet you here.

@RussSharek All of the above, mostly musical, studied in school etc. I also do some research on improvisation during incident response.
