Feedback from students who attended Field School with Dr. Dal Farra in recent years:
“The students and teachers who participated in the events with me were all easy to work with and had a passion for their fields that brought me inspiration in my own personal endeavors As for the festival itself, I was faced with many new ideas that I had never seen or heard before the people I met were what made the field school an experience that I will never forget” – Andrew McCafferty, past program participant.
“t has been a unique chance to meet and discuss with searchers and artists from different horizon, sharing ideas about creation and society, and finding out that I could too be the source of pertinent ideas and project.” – Gabrielle Couillard, past program participant.
“ the high diversity of skills that participants in the school had led to new opportunities of sharing structured and improvisational knowledge” – Antoine Bellemare, past program participant.
“The festival was a whirlwind. Once it began on Monday it was suddenly Saturday. It was nonstop between the keynotes, workshops, and performances It was said many times throughout the field school but it is true that I learned more in 10 days than I did in a semester of 4 classes at Concordia.” – Bryan Greenfield, past program participant.
