Bridging dance and ecology
from Groovin' Griot Hosted by OreOluwa Badaki and Azsaneé Truss
Who knew movin' and groovin' could be such a great way to learn about the environment? Well...Dr. Jamē McCray did! On this episode we chat with her about how she combines her work as an ecologist and as a choreographer to design innovative education and policy initiatives. She takes us behind the scenes of some of the movement-based work she has done with the Schuylkill River, and shares insights from a project on the future of agriculture in light of climate change. Dr. McCray is also a seasoned salsera, so for this movement break we take you along with us to a local salsa night. Make sure to bring your dancing shoes!
