Next Session: Friday November 19th. 4-6 PM
Level 2 Boardroom, Guelph Public Library, downtown Guelph, contact Rebecca Caines for more information rcaines@uoguelph.ca.

This week ICASP student researcher and theatre artist Ronald East will be presenting on his current research An Imaginative View of Cognition as a Basis for Improvisation, asking: "Are we hard-wired for improvisation?" As Ron's work is currently unpublished research in-progress, the reading for this week is a complementary piece which also asks questions about intersections between creative work and cognition.
