SUMMARY:The Parsifal Project: a community arts project
DESCRIPTION: \nThe Parsifal Project\n  \n  \nThe Parsifal Project is a community project that aspires towards a contemporary envisioning of the famous medieval legend\, one that recontextualises the Parsifal legend for a modern multicultural audience.  \nWhat is it about? \nWriters\, poets\, philosophers and artists tell us that myths and legends hold spiritual insights into the sacred wisdom of past cultures\, but what about the spiritual insights we need to navigate our current world? Drawing on the cultural heritages we bring with us\, the Parsifal Project seeks find meaningful resonance between this medieval myth and contemporary intergenerational audiences. \nUsing the talents of a diverse cast and a script written by playwright Peter Oswald\, the project aims to make a significant contribution to our understanding of the Parsifal legend in light of Anthroposophy\, as a cosmopolitan Michaelic impulse and as a metaphor for modern human development. The story is our future; if so\, its mythic themes could be critical to today’s youth\, to all of us.  \nWhether your interest is in the spiritual foundations of the legend\, the literature\, creative writing or performing\, there is something here for anyone and everyone fascinated by the whole collection of Grail legends and its interpretations\, medieval or modern\, book or film. \nTimeline for the project \nThe project has five stages highlighting different arts and media: \n\nJune –  July 2022: Parsifal Unpacked\nCompleted. Explored the original story through performance\, literary text and thematic discussion.  \nSeptember – November 2022: Parsifal Reimagined\nCompleted. A series of  writing workshops where we reimagine the story through the lens of current cultural perspectives. \nJanuary 2023 – November 2023 : Parsifal Rescripted\nOngoing script development in conjunction with performance-based creative development intensives with on-the-floor exploration on the themes explored in Stages 1 and 2.  \nFebruary 2024 – February 2025: Parsifal Reinterpreted\nAuditions\, eurythmy and music workshops from February. Rehearsals begin in April 2024\, using the script based on Parsifal Rescripted. \nApril -May 2025: The Parsifal Project performance\nSaturday 26 April at 5.30 pm ACST\nSaturday 3rd May at at 5.30 pm ACST\nSunday 4th May at 2.30 pm ACST\nVenue: Living Arts Centre\, Mount Barker Waldorf School\, Mt Barker\, SA \n\n  \n  \nProject Director: Jo-anne Sarre\, Artistic Director of Ink Pots Arts \nJo-anne Sarre has worked in the performing arts sector as a freelance director\, actor\, storyteller\, playwright and educator since her four-year Speech and Drama training at The Harkness Studio\, Sydney in 1986.

SUMMARY:Working with Steiner's Seven School Sketches - further training for the artist
DESCRIPTION: \nA masterclass studio with artist Fiona Campbell\nThe Seven School (or Friedwart) Sketches motifs were given to the teachers as part of Rudolf Steiner’s new impulse for understanding both Art and Nature\, to help students explore objective spiritual laws\, where form arises out of colour\, not the reverse. The series moves from nature moods through the four elements to culminate in a Madonna and Child motif.  \n  \nWhat are the Training Sketches? \nTheses sketches are part of a comprehensive portfolio known as the Training Sketches for the Artists. The Nine Training Sketches (Nature Moods) and the Goetheanum epochs motifs form a substantial part of this portfolio. \nBut these sketches are not images of external natural events; they refer to acts that are effective in nature and human\, says Christiane Haid\, head of the Visual Arts Section and the Section for the Literary Arts and Humanities at the Goetheanum. She believes dealing with the creative forces can become the starting point for facing tasks in healing the world.  \nYou are invited to join artist and researcher Fiona Campbell for an online masterclass (seven sessions) as she works with these motifs as culmination of a year-long project to bring Steiner’s sketches and motifs to celebrate the centenary of Steiner’s gift to visual artists of the comprehensive portfolio known as the Training Sketches for the Artists. \nYou don’t have to be a professional artist\, or even very experienced\, to enjoy this course.  \nA training for the configuration of the soul \nThey are called training sketches\, but sometimes people wonder what it is they are training. They are not guides to technique\, nor are they supposed to be copied literally. They are not answers to what artworks of sunrises and trees and people should look like. Rather\, they are a training for the soul. What does this mean? \nThrough working with each sketch\, the painted is lead towards an inward experience of the motif. This opens up the way to true moral and spiritual experiences. By learning to unite herself with the inner essence of these motifs\, the artist can reveal through her work traces of her soul experience of the cosmos. \nHistorical background \nIn June 2022 it will have been one hundred years since the painter and sculptor Henny Geck asked Rudolf Steiner for a course that would bring about a renewal of the art of paining. Steiner gave a series of motifs to the artists in the form of rough sketches\, as a foundation for the renewal of the art of painting. the foundational program for painters seeking to work out of Anthroposophy. This program is comparable to the indications he gave to the eurythmists and has been practiced in different forms in anthroposophic art trainings since Steiner first gave the Nine Training Sketches to artist Henni Geck 100 years ago. \nThese masterclasses are part of a worldwide movement this year to celebrate Steiner’s  artistic impulse\, including the Goetheanum motifs\, on the centenary of the burning down of the First Goetheanum. They are also offering lectures and courses to help realise Rudolf Steiner’s vision of a new impulse in the arts and make these motifs visible to the wider public.  \nWho are the masterclasses for?  \nFor artists\, Steiner teachers\, art therapists and art students looking to find a path in soul/spiritual development through the arts; and for anyone interested in understanding more about Rudolf Steiner’s impulse in Art. \nTo get the most out of this course\, it is anticipated that participants work alongside Fiona in-class and on their own between sessions.  \nRequired \n\nfamiliarity with Steiner’s or Goethe’s colour theories\nbasic watercolour wet-on-dry skills (you can use wet-on-wet or any other painting media\, such as oils or acrylics\, if you prefer but technical advice is not directed towards these media) \n\nThis is not a step-by-step instructional class so not suitable for beginners. \nWhat dates are the classes? \n2-4pm AEDT Friday afternoons \n2/16/30 September\, 14/28 October\, 11/25 November. \nSession 1: Sunrise\nSession 2:  Sunset\nSession 3:  Trees in Sunny Air\nSession 4:  Trees in Storm\nSession 5:  Sunlit Tree by a Waterfall\nSession 6:  Head Study\nSession 7: Madonna and Child \nHow much does it cost? \nOnline series:  $250 for 7×2 hr masterclasses or $42 for individual sessions. \nWhere do I register? \nRegister here! \nPlease register online.

SUMMARY:In the Hut of a Thousand Suns
DESCRIPTION:  \nExploring the Nature Of ‘Evil’ Through Folktales\, Storytelling\, Creative Activities & Deep Conversation\n  \nWe’ve never lived in a more profound paradox: our destruction of the Earth and ourselves through climate collapse\, the escalation of A.I.\, the increasing loss of human rights\, while simultaneously facing unprecedented opportunities to develop our consciousness\, understanding of interconnectedness\, and ethical individuality. \n\nParadox is ripe with possibilities; folktales are riddled with paradox\, refuse ‘standard rules of behaviour’ and put forward dilemma\, questions\, and contradictions. They force us to develop moral-ethical imagination\, our ability to think in new\, unexpected ways\, see parallels and relationships which hadn’t existed before\, and become at least dimly aware of the complexity of our inner-selves (Spaulding).\n\nStorytelling has always been something we share\, and folktales are part of our human biology. When we hear a story\, as a couple\, family\, or community\, our brains harmonise. Through creative images and inspiration provided by stories\, we get inside ideas together – like an orchestra\, synchronising individual skills and instruments to interpret the idea of the symphony to create music in which everyone a has a part. Folktales offer innovative strategies for survival\, that aren’t unrealistic dreams\, but observations and aspirations for the world we live in. And our insistence on belonging\, community\, and human connection is one of the greatest acts of courage and resistance in the face of oppression (O’Donohue).\n\nWhat can you expect from this seminar? Storytelling that initiates both community and individuality. Folktales that reveal how and why loneliness and isolation attract Evil\, why unused creative power\, transgression and disrespect lack awareness and carry the potential of self-destruction. You’ll experience the power of Story and storytelling\, gain an understanding of the importance of opening and closing story-space\, access tools that craft the telling of tales and build valuable insight into the theme and the Fifth Secret (Steiner): Evil exists so we wake up\, transform it and move toward Spirit-soul-consciousness. \nHow much does it cost?  \nStandard $350\nEarly Bird Singles $290\nCouples p.p. $250\nTeams [p.p.] $225 \nWhen is it on? \n12/13 November; 19/20 November  \nVenues \nLaunceston Venue: Tamar Valley Steiner Early Childhood 41 French Str\, Launceston \nHobart (Huntingfield) Venue: Tarremah Steiner School\, ‘Silvereye Room’\, 27 Nautilus Grove\, Huntingfield 7055\n \nBookings \nBook here! \n  \nFor more information \nContact Iris Curteis  mob: 0487 719 476 \nAbout Iris Curteis \nI am a Storyteller and Social Artist; I encountered Anthroposophy as an 18-year-old\, and met wonderful\, inspiring teachers in Europe and Australia. My background includes studies in visual art\, storytelling\, speech formation\, and dramatic art (Europe)\, B.A. and B.A. hon. in creative writing\, and a Ph.D. on storytelling and community building (Australia). This workshop is ‘experiential’\, interactive and practical. It offers space for deep conversations about how and why storytelling empowers our imagination\, and the many ways creativity and creative thinking encourage us to appreciate our lives as works of art.
