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 Thresholds
DESCRIPTION: \nA online masterclass in painting \nwith artist Fiona Campbell \n  \nOur human life moves and breathes between thresholds: macrocosm and microcosm\, waking and sleeping\, birth and death. This painting masterclass works with the thresholds in our lives and in nature\, with special attention paid to the nature of polarities and the breathing impulse.  \nThis content of this course is complemented with the study of selected lectures from Rudolf Steiner’s Macrocosm and Microcosm \nWhy painting?  \nWhy study this subject through painting rather than meditation and study? \nUnderstanding comes through the experiential rather than purely theoretical. This means that\, rather than a study of texts followed by an illustrative artistic exercise\, the study is the artistic exercise\, it is the meditative practice\, and the texts are complementary readings that inform and guide our practice.  \nThis is a path of inner work through artistic practice. \nWho is it for? \n\nFor artists\, art therapists and students of Anthroposophy who want to deepen their understanding of Steiner’s macrocosm and microcosm model for human existence (PD certificates available).\nFor anyone interested in exploring the nature of thresholds through painting. \n\nThis course is supplementary to the Art as a Path of Schooling for the Soul training. \nWhen is it? \n2pm-4pm fortnightly on Fridays AEST\n24 May-23 August 2024 \nHow much does it cost? \n$280 AUD/$190 USD\n$300 for PD certificate or for new participants enrolling only in this course. \nHow do I register? \nRegister here \nFor more information \nFor more information about this course \, please contact Fiona Campbell  \nFor more information about Painted Space Studio courses in general\, browse the courses on offer.  \n  \nAbout Fiona Campbell \nFiona Campbell is a visual artist\, researcher\, lecturer and arts educator. She has an interdisciplinary PhD on creativity and cognition and has been a professional artist and arts educator for more than 30 years. \nUnder the name Painted Space\, she runs a schooling course that combines inner work with visual arts training.  \nYou can find out more about Fiona at Painted Space or listen to an ABC Soul Search interview with her about the anthroposophical approach to art. \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Art of Chalkboard Drawing with Van James
DESCRIPTION:  \nThree workshops with Van James \nWaldorf techniques and curriculum for teachers and parents\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nBlackboard drawing is a vital medium in the art of teaching. From the elementary grades\nright through high school the visual storytelling that takes place on the blackboard\nallows for a deeper learning that can occur beyond words and numbers; what can be\nexperienced through colors and forms\, in pictures. Pictorial thinking is a critical capacity\nfor keeping alive and nurturing the imagination throughout childhood and into adult life.\nThis course will cover the basics of chalk drawing for teachers at the various grade\nlevels\, noting how the board drawings can change with the age and development of the\nchild. Reviews of participant work on black paper or school blackboards will be\nfacilitated with a Google Classroom or Padlet link.  \nWhen \nJuly 14\, 21 and 28 2024 \nBookings and fees \nBook here \n\n\n\nAbout Van James\nVan James is an artist\, author\, Steiner-Waldorf educator and international advocate for the arts.

SUMMARY:Breathing Out The Winter: A Therapeutic Intensive
DESCRIPTION:Painted Space Studio \npresents \n\n\n\n\nAn Art Intensive For Nourishing The Soul Forces\n\n\n\n\n \nLet’s prepare ourselves Spring! \nThis intensive therapeutic painting workshop brings the health-giving forces of the harmonious breath into our souls and bodies as we breathe out the Winter and breathe in the renewed life coming towards us. \n\n \nLate Winter can be a difficult time: Nature’s death shudder is still with us\, but already signs of hope and new growth are appearing in the earth. By preparing our souls for the burgeoning forces of Spring\, we nurture the new forces arising in our inmost being and bring them into harmonious rhythm with Nature’s rhythms. \n\n \nBased on a classic Hauschka therapy exercise Painting as an Exercise for Breathing\, this online workshop is an immersive experience using wet-on-wet painting or pastels and is for anyone in need of soul nourishment. \n\n \nOnline guided exercises and contemplation interspersed with working quietly in the comfort of your home with the company of an Australia-wide community. \n\n\n\n\nWhy join the live class? Benefits of live participation \nWhen you paint with others\, at the same time as them\, even though it is in a virtual environment\, you are creating community. Think of it as a group of people coming together with the specific intention to build substance\, to create something together\, to bring something into the world that benefits both ourselves yet also puts positive\, creative forces into the world. And we create within a divine-spiritual community. Divine beings look over our shoulders; we create in their company and in the company of like-minded others.The gift is in the giving\, in the doing\, as much as in the product. \nWho is it for?\nBeginners welcome! You do not need to be an experienced artist to benefit from this workshop. Participants are guided through the experience with demonstrations. \nWhen \n\n\n\n\n2-5pm ACST\, 27-28 July 2024 \nCost \n$190 AUD/$134 USD including recordings \nBookings \nBook here \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nYou will be sent the payment details and a list of suggested materials after payment.  \n\n \nThe Zoom link is sent one (1) day before the workshop. \nFor more information \nPlease contact Fiona Campbell at Painted Space \n \n  \nFeature image: excerpt of painting of the cycle of the plant\, Weleda Calendar 2000 © Alexander Winter
