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:Projective Geometry\, The World of Life and The World of Soul
DESCRIPTION: \nA part-time online course facilitated by the Melbourne Rudolf Steiner Seminar\n\n\n\n\nProjective geometry began as an exact science yet its own development has turned even science inside out. Rudolf Steiner saw in this meeting of opposites a new beginning – and called it the polarity of space versus counterspace. It is the interplay of etheric and physical and the forms of the plant-world tell of this mystery. \nThis polar (threefold) relation lives also in the soul’s thinking\, feeling and willing. What does Rudolf Steiner mean by ‘pure thinking’ ? Well\, projective geometry leads us to experiences of that. The new soul condition indicated in Rudolf Steiner’s Philosophy of Freedom is that of the thinking will – yet this is no mere admixture of the two. \nThere is no need to read Philosophy of Freedom before the course\, but participants will need to read at least the short 8th and final chapter – entitled “Practical Conclusion – of the Earlier Work Truth and Science” (GA 3). Super-condensed and real work for the mind\, this elicits an experience\, alive in thought\, of what human freedom means. \n\n\n\n\nDate/time \nDuration: Term 2. Mondays 1 May to 12 June. \nMonday evenings from 7.00 – 9.00pm (Melbourne time) \nCost \nCost: $445 per term \nTo register \nRegister here! \nFor more information \nFor enrolment questions\, please contact Carmen in the office on +03 9876 5199 or email her. \nAbout the tutor \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGordon Woolard is an experienced Steiner teacher and educator from kindergarten to class 12. His trainings include university Physics\, the Foundation and Education years at Emerson College\, the Wynstones Science Teachers’ course\, the Michael Hall Kindergarten training\, Joinery and Cabinet Making\, a post grad teaching diploma for SpLD (Dyslexia) and Audrey McAllen’s Extra Lesson training. Gordon Woolard\, Dip SpLD AMBDA PATOSSMathematical Association \nHe is also an independent specialist teacher and trainer.

SUMMARY:What is Phenomenology? And is it time to consign 'subjective/objective' to the past?
DESCRIPTION:Stream of Life Research Studio presents \nA webinar discussion \non consciousness and the nature of being \n\n\nThis webinar is the 4th in our popular ongoing series. Join us again! or join us for the first time. All welcome! \nThis series of webinars aims is to provide an interdisciplinary view of how different professions understand and implement phenomenology\, including how this form of research supports professional practice. Through sharing our collective experience of working phenomenologically\, we address the questions: what is phenomenology? and how do I practice it? \nProgram \nWe have another exciting program to share with you: \n\nRobin Steele presenting her hermeneutic research into therapeutic change through psychophonetics. \nKate Sharp sharing her methodology as an art therapist. \nthen\, an open discussion on the thorny question of subjective vs. objective.\n\nSubjective vs objective \nThis dichotomy has been the bedrock parameter for judging research in the past\, but is it time to consign this dualistic way of perceiving the world to history?  \nThe modern desire for absolute and certain knowledge\, what the philosopher John Dewey called ‘the quest for certainty’\,* is foundational to this attitude. In the past\, scientifically-rigorous\, valid and reliable outcomes replaced the unknowns of opinions\, beliefs and ‘supernatural’ experience with known facts. And despite qualitative research’s increasing acceptance\, this mentality is still shaping our response to phenomenological research\, to our understanding of human consciousness and indeed\, to Anthroposophy itself\,  \nThis question will be the theme up for discussion and questioning in the second part of the webinar.  \nWhen will this webinar take place?  \n6.30 pm AEST Wednesday 31st May 2023 online.  \nCost \n$20 donation or whatever you can afford to support us. \nRegistration \nTo register \nHow to join the webinar \nAfter registration\, participants will be sent the Zoom link by email two (2) days beforehand\, and then again one (1) hour beforehand. \nPlease login for the webinar via your Zoom app and not via Eventbrite. \nFor more information \nPlease contact Fiona Campbell or Martin Samson \n  \nWho are the Stream of Life Research Studio? \nStream of Life is a fluid\, collective group of researchers and practitioners who are interested in exploring Anthroposophy with open and inquiring minds and hearts. The founding members of the Studio are Dr Fiona Campbell\, whose core research work concerns consciousness\, cognition and creativity; and Dr Martin Samson\, who studies how the spiritual and physical work in union with each other in the starry realms. \n\n\n\nDifferent members have different fields of expertise but all are working out of Anthroposophy and use some form of phenomenology as their primary research methodology\, in an approach that stretches beyond the world of natural science into the arts\, humanities and human sciences. \n  \n\n\n\n\nPhenomenology concerns how a phenomenon is experienced\, as it is experienced\, and aims to describe those experiences\, rather than theorise or explain them. Moreover\, in studying the experience\, phenomenology opens the way to understanding our consciousness of that experience. In turn\, this can change our way of seeing the world (Campbell 2018*). \n\n  \n*John Dewey\, (1930). The quest for certainty: A study of the relation of knowledge and action.
