Workshop Description: A research based workshop exploring various improvisational movements while using the body as the material to draw, frame, and narrate imagined images. Ideas of research include instinct, rhythm, falling, dramatic expression, compositional elements, and spatial relationship. No dance experience is needed. This workshop is formatted around the exploration and research of individual movement. Participants will be encouraged to pull from their own "tool box" and experience of movement and dance to push the exercises to their desired levels. Participants agree by registering and attending movement workshops, they are doing so under their own risks and release all liability from instructor, CACAC, and CazAzevedo.com.

EDUCATION
M.F.A. Studio Art Art and Art History Department, University of California, Davis concentrations: Video, Performance, Ceramics, Sculpture B.A. Art Practice Department of Art Practice, University of California, Berkeley concentrations: Printmaking, Sculpture, Ceramics, Painting B.A. History of Art History of Art Department, University of California, Berkeley concentration: Art and Visual Culture |
In my classroom I emphasize and encourage the need to search outside the established Western/European canon, and to represent “othered” artists. I teach with an emphasis on contemporary critical thought. I engage students in exploring art history and current issues and events in tandem. I guide students in developing their critical thinking skills so as to investigate sociopolitical issues through a post-modernized imagination, cultivating an environment where all students feel safe and encouraged to share their views in our discussions. I believe that an education in the arts is fertile ground for emboldening students to exercise critical thinking skills which can be applied to all disciplines in the arts and beyond.
Societies and the environment are in constant flux. Education must continue to change with the shifts of our generations. Today we face an uncertain virus that keeps us locked in our shelters, and unable to gather in traditional classrooms and labs. Educators must create innovative ways of teaching art online when materials become virtual and physically intangible. I accept and will overcome this challenge. I have had experience in transitioning studio classes and lecture series to online formats with students achieving success in their projects and assignments.
Since the COVID-19 virus I have been redesigning lesson plans for online instruction for ceramics, sculpture, printmaking, painting, drawing, performance art, and video, as well as researching a variety of engaging approaches for presenting art history lectures online. I am excited for the day when we all can return to the classrooms and labs, but until then we must keep education in progress, not just for the survival of the arts, but for the survival of humanity.
