The
Connecticut Imagination Conversation is part of a national
dialogue -- 50 conversations in 50 states -- sponsored by the Lincoln
Center Institute to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Lincoln Center
for the Performing Arts. Scott Noppe-Brandon, executive director of
Lincoln Center Institute, will join us for this conversation. He is also
the author of Imagination First: Unlocking the Power of Possibility.
Steven Dahlberg, head of the International Centre for Creativity
and Imagination, will host the conversation. This event will be recorded
for broadcast on WNPR Connecticut Public Radio's "Where
We Live," with moderator John Dankosky, at 9 a.m. on Friday,
April 23, 2010.
ABOUT
THE IMAGINATION CONVERSATIONS
Imagination, the ability to visualize new possibilities, is a
prerequisite for success in the 21st-century global economy. America has
long been at the vanguard of creation and innovation, but an economic
downturn and increased worldwide competition mean that we cannot take our
position for granted. Now more than ever, we must teach imagination in our
schools and nurture it in our communities. The
Imagination Conversations respond to this need and prepare us for the
future by:
-
Building
national awareness of imagination as a vital tool in work and in life.
-
Sparking
dialogue about imagination across the professional spectrum.
-
Leading
to the creation of an action plan to make imagination an integral part
of American education.
The
Imagination Conversations, a project of Lincoln Center Institute and a
part of the Lincoln Center 50 Years celebration, run from the fall of 2009
to the spring of 2011. Many are hosted by state government, business, and
cultural leaders. They feature diverse groups of panelists with
distinctive perspectives and draw a wide range of audience members from
the public and private sectors. Moderators facilitate the conversations,
some of which reach viewers nationwide via live and archived streaming
video. This two-year initiative will culminate in America's Imagination
Summit, to be held at Lincoln Center in the summer or fall of 2011.
