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.

SUMMARY:Inner Transformation through Art: Geometric Drawing
DESCRIPTION:Online class with artist and author Van James\n  \nGeometry \n\n\n\n\nThis course will trace the development of Geometric Drawing through the Steiner-Waldorf school curriculum from the early grades with freehand geometry\, as practiced in Form Drawing\, to the middle school use of instrument-aided constructions. We will touch Geometric Drawing’s relationship to Perspective Drawing and how both prepare for Projective Geometry in high school. We will proceed slowly in order to see how Geometric Drawing is a balancing activity that engages thinking\, feeling and volition\, focusing these soul forces and centring one’s being.  \n\nThis course is specifically directed towards Steiner school teachers and teaching specialists\, lower and upper school. \nFor more information \nClick here to register or contact Van James \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Working with Steiner’s epoch motifs as a schooling for the ordering of the soul-life
DESCRIPTION: \nThey ‘lead us to confront the greatest of riddles – that  of human destiny’ \nA series of 7 experiential webinars + weekend studio\n  \nImmerse yourself in this unique journey through our soul/spiritual development! From our primeval beginnings\, through Lemuria and Atlantis to today and into the 6th Slavic epoch\, we can capture something of the ‘quiver’ of recollections of spiritual history lying deep in our soul-life through working actively with these motifs. \n  \nWhat is it about?  \nThis practice-based course explores Steiner’s Goetheanum ceiling sketches\, a sequence given to the painters as a picture progression of the spiritual history of humanity. He described them as a training in karmic vision that could potentially awaken a perception of karma. We will work with selected motifs through lecture\, study\, contemplative observation and drawing.  \nBackground notes \nRudolf Steiner created a substantial portfolio of drawings\, pastel sketches and paintings for the renewal of the visual arts\, many destined for the interior of the First Goetheanum\, with the purpose of helping us find a new relationship to art as a basis of spiritual awakening. The artforms in the first Goetheanum were intended to support a training in karmic vision through Art. \nArt works upon the human soul to awaken in it a feeling\, a deep feeling\, for the spiritual realities of what is portrayed. By actively working with these motifs\, we can approach an inner experience of their truths. Not only through the content but through the inward experience of them. By working actively with their forms and processes\, we can learn to transform the soul body so that it can prepare itself for karmic awakening. \nFor the ceiling of the first Goetheanum\, Steiner gave a series of ‘epoch’ motifs to the artists – 12 sketches for the large cupola of the first Goetheanum and 7 Sketches for the small cupola\, culminating in the motif of the Representative of Humanity. We will explore these motifs: their gestures\, meanings and role in our soul/spiritual evolution.  \nProgram  \n7 x 1.5hr webinars approx. twice a month on Saturday afternoons\, 4.00-5.30pm. \n12/2 Workshop 1: The Elohim motif from the Creation trio – completed\n26/2 Workshop 2:  Lemuria and Atlantis\n19/3 Workshop 3:  Ancient India – Ancient Greece\n2/4 Workshop 4:  The IAO motif: the Cosmic Word\n23/4 Workshop 5:  Faust and his Genius\n7/5 Workshop 6:  The Germanic and Slavic motifs\n21/5 Workshop 7: Lucifer\, Ahriman and the Representative of Humanity \nEach session includes a short lecture\, experiential artwork\, contemplation and discussion as the foundation of a schooling for the ordering of our soul life. The series culminates in an optional weekend studio where participants can turn their sketches and studies into artforms that reflect their personal relationship to the evolution of consciousness. \nEach session will be recorded and will be available for registrants. \nArt material list and background reading suggestions emailed at registration. \nWho is it for? \nFor students of Anthroposophy\, Steiner teachers\, artists and anyone interested in understanding Steiner’s approach to the spiritual evolution of humanity. \nBeginners in drawing are welcome. You do not need technical skills in the visual arts to find these workshops fruitful. These experiential workshops employ the anthroposophic approach to colour and process but the focus is on experiencing\, not learning drawing techniques. \nWhat dates are the workshops? \nSaturday afternoons 4.00-5.30pm AEDT (until it ends\, then AEST)\nWebinar workshops: 12/26 February | 19 March | 2/23 April | 7/21 May\nWeekend studio workshop: 3-5 June 2022 \nMissed most of the  webinars but want to join individual sessions? \nYou can still join us and catch up via the video recordings. Just contact Fiona Campbell \nHow much does it cost?  \nOnline series:  | $200 for full 7 webinars | $33 per individual workshop. \nWeekend studio: Linuwel School\, Maitland NSW\, 3-5 June \nWhat’s included in the price?  \nA video of each webinar\, list of suggested readings and a curated selection of copies of the motifs for private study only.  \nWhere do I register? \nAfter registration\, participants will be sent the Zoom workshop link and a list of suggested readings and materials.  The Zoom link will be sent again one (1) hour before the webinar. \nRegister here! \nPlease login for each session via your Zoom app and not via Eventbrite. \nFor more information \nPlease contact Fiona Campbell and share this flyer with others who might be interested.

SUMMARY:Working with Steiner’s Nine Training Sketches for Painters
DESCRIPTION:  \nA masterclass studio with artist Fiona Campbell\nThe Nine Training Sketches motifs were given to the painters as a new impulse for understanding both Art and Nature\, to help the artist explore objective spiritual laws. They are a training for the soul. \nYou are invited to join artist and researcher Fiona Campbell for an online masterclass (six sessions) as she works with these nature mood motifs in preparation for an exhibition. Paint alongside her and share in her process as she works through the series of nine motifs from rough sketch to finished artwork. \nYou don’t have to be a professional artist\, or even very experienced\, to enjoy this course.  \nWhat are the Training Sketches? \nSteiner gave a series of nine and seven motifs to the artists in the form of rough drawings\, as a foundation for the renewal of the art of painting. They were 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 angels should look like. Rather\, they are a training for the soul. What does this mean? \nTheses nature mood sketches lead the painter towards an inward experience of each 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. \nBackground information  \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. To celebrate this event\, the Visual Art Section will hold an Intensive Week at the Goetheanum from 1-8 August 2022 and has invited artists to submit their work for the conference exhibition. Fiona has been working with the training sketches for 25 years and intends to submit works for the exhibition. You can view some of her previous works on these themes here.  \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 \n4 /18 Feb\, 4/18 Mar\, 1/22 April \nStudio intensive: there will also be a face-to-face weekend studio 4/6 June for intensive work. \nThe online masterclasses will continue after April if there is enough interest. \nHow much does it cost? \nOnline series:  $200 for 6×2 hr masterclasses or $40 for individual sessions\nWeekend studio: venue and cost tba. \nWhere do I register? \nContact Fiona to register \nPayment details and a list of suggested materials and readings available upon registration. \nFor more information \nFor more information about the masterclass or for any questions\, please contact Fiona Campbell \n You may also like to share this flyer with others. \n \n  \nAbout Fiona Campbell  \nFiona Campbell is a visual artist\, researcher\, lecturer and arts educator.

SUMMARY:What is Transformative Art & Architecture?
DESCRIPTION:This online free public lecture by Johannes Schuster introduces the concepts underlying Transformative Art & Architecture and precedes a three-weekend course on this topic.  \nThe question of Transformative Art & Architecture raises questions about the nature of ‘anthroposophical’ architecture: \n\n\nDoes it exist? Some well-known ‘anthroposophical’ architects think it doesn’t.\nIf it does exist\, what are its aims and methods?\nDoes the Consciousness Soul Age ask us to think differently about future forms of Art & Architecture?\nIf so\, what is the new Element of the Age and how are we to work with it as artists and architects ?\n\n\nOnline link to the lecture \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84860687920?pwd=SS8vV0FaTXFVcVVNcmtGczEwZ21pZz09 \nMeeting ID: 848 6068 7920\nPasscode: 957659 \nFor more information \nFor more information\, check the flyer here or for details of the weekend course\, here or contact Johannes Schuster.

SUMMARY:What is Transformative Art & Architecture?
DESCRIPTION:A free public lecture introducing The Spiritual Architecture of the Creative Process seminar\nThe Transformative Art & Architecture (TAA) Professional Development Initiative was founded by Johannes Schuster in 2017. \nThe aim of this initiative is to develop and promote an Anthroposophically based Theory of Transformative Art & Architecture\, which is based on the spiritual view of the human being and universe taught by Rudolf Steiner. The methodology arising from this theory is known as Biosculptural Architecture. Course participants may choose to do further study to qualify as Biosculptural Consultants. \nThe vision of TAA is for the forms of Art & Architecture to become forces for “Goodness\, Truth and Beauty” in the world. This vision takes its inspiration from Rudolf Steiner himself\, who in one of his lectures to the workers at the first Goetheanum\, spoke of the forms of Art & Architecture of the future as having the power to: \n\n… teach (human beings) how to love\, \n…. pour a spiritual fluid into hearts and souls….. \n…. turn evil into good…. \n                                 Rudolf Steiner\, “Ways to a new style in Architecture”\, 1914 \n\nHow to join the lecture\nNo need to register in advance. Just join the meeting by clicking the button below \n  \n\nJoin the lecture here.  \n  \nFor more information \nYou can find more information about the course on the flyer. Or visit the Biosculputural Architecture website.  \nEnquiries: contact Johannes Schuster.

SUMMARY:Wise Women Storytelling; Meeting the Baba Yaga
DESCRIPTION:Before life separated into good and evil\, there was Baba Yaga. Crumbling and creating matter in her iron mortar and pestle\, stirring the universe. Ignoring gravity\, flying through the air. \nMeeting her demands courage; a journey through the wildwood after someone has doused all light in your life and thrust you out into cold and the only hope lies at the end of a lonely and frightening passage through the night-shadowed forest. This is a journey of consciousness; the alchemical work of separation and blending; developing emotional dexterity\, authentic judgment\, nurturing patience and sound knowing: I can do this! \nIn this one-day workshop\, Storyteller & Social Artist\, Iris Curteis will take you deep into the feminine mystery of Baba Yaga. Her tools: oral storytelling\, mapping\, image-making\, creative writing & guided conversations in a safe & respectful space. \n  \nCost: $150; concessions $100\nTime: Sunday 11th July 10:00 am – 3:30 pm\n \nFor more information: click here to see the flyer or contact Iris Curteis \n  \nPresenter: Iris Curteis Ph.D.  is a storyteller and social artist with a passion for community building. As social artist and storyteller\, she understands how creativity changes the way we think about our lives and builds our capacity to shape more humane communities and supports transformational change \nAccreditation: PhD Storytelling and Community Building\nAffiliation: Heartwood\, Site for Transformative Art\, Culture\, Science
