To everyone who registered for the Limitless Day 1 and Day 2 virtual event. Please see below for the Zoom recording and Zoom chat from both evenings. Look back, reflect, and enjoy reliving the event if you could not be present with us during that time.
Day One
Creativity and Imagination Somewhere in a Mop Bucket Presenter: Stan Baines
Taking a look at creativity and imagination from an everyday perspective. When we talk about either creativity or imagination, we tend to focus on arts or education. This discussion will take a look from the perspective of a role not typically viewed as creative or imaginative. We will be putting the talk into motion and seeing your imagination played out.
Day Two
Embodying Imagination and Adventures in Movement, Sounds, and Image
Presenters: Alexis Milligan, Charles Pan, Mary Blatherwick, & Mingyu Lin Alexis" approach to movement comes from the imagination through intention and story, with the knowledge that not all intentions are literal and not all stories are linear. Joined by pianist Mingyu Lin, multi-media artist Charles Pan and painter Mary Blatherwick, Alexis explores what might be possible through improvisation when these artists meet inside each other's imaginations! Afterwards Alexis will facilitate a conversation of how theories of embodied cognition, narrative, and The Beholder's Share can influence how we perceive each other and eventually bring us together through movement, sound, and image.

Mary Blatherwick
Inspiring students through creative projects that often require collaboration is a key element of Mary Blatherwick’s approach to teaching in her courses in Art Education and Creativity in the Faculty of Education at the University of New Brunswick, Canada. During the pandemic, for instance, her students were encouraged to share their personal experiences through visual means, which often could involve members of their families and friends in the process of making films and telling their story. Like many people students experienced isolation but by sharing their experiences collectively they inspired positive responses and a rich exchange of ideas.
