Jazz-Philosophy Fusion

Claus Moser building CM0.12A/B

'Jazz-Philosophy Fusion' is a combination of jazz music and philosophical ideas, which forms part of the newly emerging field of Performance Philosophy. By supplementing a conventional jazz group with singers and actors, philosophical themes - such as the nature of the self, time, or pessimism vs. optimism about life - are explored. This provides both an extra layer of conceptual significance to the music, a new resource for the improvising instrumentalists, and a vivid way of expressing philosophical ideas which acknowledges that they are not always of simply 'academic' interest to us.

Starting from Values workshop with Gemma Burford, University of Brighton
Claus Moser building CM0.12A/B
Starting from Values workshops can help participants in Connected Communities projects to clarify their shared values, through reflection on their own experiences and on ‘prompts’ drawn from other similar projects, and to generate a framework of values and associated indicators that can be used for monitoring and evaluation. The workshop has been useful for building and strengthening partnerships, designing projects, opening up new conversations and doing strategic planning, as well as for identifying ‘intangible’ project legacies that are often missed by traditional evaluations. Developed through an AHRC Connected Communities Legacy project.
