Faculty from each discipline (Dance, Music, and Theatre) will discuss how they are promoting inclusion through curriculum development, performance, and community engagement. The presenters will provide definitions of culturally relevant pedagogy, as supported by research conducted by Gloria Ladson-Billings, Dr Nyama McCarthy-Brown, and Lorenzo Garcia, as it pertains to performing arts curriculum and discuss how this is being used for student recruitment and retention. Presenters will discuss the importance of production selection and performance opportunities and provide examples of recent productions that reflects the diverse student population and surrounding communities served by the college. Presenters will also highlight the benefits of community engagement in the performing arts opportunities that are facilitated by the implementation of a performing arts community engagement and outreach initiative and supported by the Division of Communication Arts, Humanities, and Fine Arts at the college in collaboration with community partners. The presentation will conclude with a discussion with participants about how the proposed strategies can be implemented in their chosen fields as a means of promoting inclusion.
