Francine Jennings' Campus Speaker Profile
Arts Integration Specialist "Teaching, inspiring and motivating through the arts" As a college professor and performing artist, Francine Jennings brings 30 years of practical experience her programs. In this series of programs, she addresses the audience as real or imagined personas to address critical issues. Your students don't just view the performance but instead they interact and participate, asking questions and becoming part of the performance. Leadership Programs Leadership Coaching: Harriet Tubman Style - Leadership Coaching: Harriet Tubman Style infuses drama, music and movement with the spoken word—all working toward the concept of leadership in today’s world. Harriet Tubman’s remarkable life holds many treasures which span the centuries. An interactive participatory workshop, your student leaders will listen, laugh and learn with a historical icon. Attendees of this high-energy workshop see the following demonstrated through Harriet Tubman’s words and actions: the characteristics of a great leader; how to skillfully lead; building an empowered team, honing negotiation skills; managing difficult people and situations and more. Urban Line Dance: Team-Building for Student Leaders - Music floods the room—the moving tempos and beats of hip hop, Latin, jazz and neo-soul. Students are engaged with practical teachings on team building while their bodies reenact the lessons their minds just learned. Together, minds and bodies are challenged as concrete lessons for teambuilding begin to emerge amidst the music. Student leaders, within the context of dance, will learn: the definition of a team (and how to get them on the dance floor); how to include everyone (no wallflowers here!); the coordinated steps of team development; how to lead—positively; creating new strategies for team success; resolving team conflict; and more.

Part drama and part workshop, this program invites your audience into the intimate spaces of Rose’s mind- and we’re praying that somebody can help! Hurt So Bad: Exploring Domestic Violence through Interactive Drama - Utilizing gripping drama, music and spoken word, the audience doesn’t merely observe. They participate in the story through audience-inclusive scenes, character appeals and question and answer sessions. Dr. and Mrs. Willard become flesh and bone to participants, as the real life ramifications of domestic violence comes to life. Through this interactive peek into a life which is both unimaginable and all too real, students will learn: the characteristics of emotional, psychological and physical abuse; how to identify the signs of an abusive relationship; why people remain in abusive relationships; the dire consequences of remaining in abusive relationships; ways to avoid and escape abusive relationships; and more. CATEGORY: Cultural and Ethnic Diversity Issues, Cultural Celebrations The Boogie Woogie Rumble of a Dream Deferred - This innovative performance piece challenges students to identify and analyze images, concepts, social elements, etc. that might potentially destroy their dreams.
