Published on Leave a comment on Don’t Miss Visiting Professor Dr. Sturges Session: The Undeniable Power of Music to Heal

Join William Wilson Corcoran Visiting Professor Molly Jane Udaya Sturges for an in-depth look into the crossroads of music, healing, community making, and spirituality. For over 25 years Molly has been working as a social practice composer, artistic director, and healing arts practitioner with individuals and communities around the globe. During this time she has been changed, stripped-down, created anew and rendered silent in wonder by the power of music and the participatory arts to heal. From hospices, nursing homes, treatment centers, schools, border town communities, in collaboration with scientists, and everything else in- between, Molly will share insights from the frontlines. As a person who has faced critical and life-threatening illnesses, she will also reflect upon this work from many different interwoven perspectives. This event will take place Monday, November 18, 2019, at Phillips B-109 from 4:15-5:30pm. Hope to see you there!

The Community Engagement and the Arts Faculty Learning Community (FLC) held their first meeting of the academic year this week. They were joined by Molly Sturges, this year’s Corcoran Visiting Professor for Community Engagement. Molly spoke to the FLC about her community engaged work.  

Molly founded an artist led nonprofit in New Mexico called Littleglobe. More information regarding the work that they do can be found here: http://www.littleglobe.org. Molly also worked as the founder, artistic director, and composer for “FIREROCK: Pass the Spark”, which is a community-engaged piece focusing on climate change which is now performed around the nation. Further details on this can be found here: http://www.firerockmusical.com  

During this year at GW, Molly is focusing on launching her latest piece, “Waking the Oracle”, which will be performed by students from the Corcoran School of Art and Design, as well as community partners.  

The FLC thoroughly enjoyed hearing from Molly and are looking forward to their meetings for the rest of the year.
