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:Parsifal Reimagined: Stage 2 of The Parsifal Project
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n\n \npresents \nParsifal Reimagined \nA series of 5 creative writing workshops\nreimagining the Parsifal legend for today’s world \nWorkshop facilitator: Fiona Campbell \n  \n\n“A journey of life and transformation \nThe light and darkness in our souls \nThe careless hero\, the broken sword \nThe suffering king\, the wasteland\, the rite of life \nThe many maidens on the hero’s path \nFrom dullness through doubt to glory” \n  \nHow can we portray these many forms of ‘Grail’ experiences for our time? What is the story we are telling ourselves? And where will our narrative take us? Through creative writing\, we seek to answer these questions for ourselves while also contributing together to the development of a new and original performance artwork. \nParticipate in this creation of performance art! \nCome join our online fortnightly writing workshops to be part of this process as we work towards developing a script for our stage production in 2023. You don’t have to be a writer to enjoy these workshops\, just a love of literature and bringing it to life.  \nFind out what it is like to be part of interactive community building working towards a multicultural\, multimedia stage performance\, as we explore the themes and our own meanings of the Parzival and Grail legends through the creative word. \nA Poetry and Prose Reading \nWe anticipate the workshops will culminate in a Poetry and Prose Reading event on 26 November for participants to share their works with family and friends. This will be a hybrid event\, online and on-the-ground in Mt Barker\, SA\, hosted by Ink Pots Arts.  \nTell me more … \nThis series of fortnightly workshops builds on the material introduced in Stage 1: Parsifal Unpacked. Having deconstructed the interwoven storylines of the Parsifal\, Grail and Arthurian legends\, we now use this material as inspiration for reimagining this medieval epic using our own words and cultural contexts. \nEach workshop uses one key theme elicited from Stage 1 as a prompt to explore its mood and meaning\, using different techniques to evoke poems\, short stories and imaginative word pictures.  \nThese workshops will also provide the foundation for the Stage 3 script development. \nWho are they for? \nFor anyone who wants to explore the Parzival legend through the creative word; who would like to deepen their own relationship to this story; or who enjoys being creative through crafting imaginative word pictures in community with others. \nYou do not have to be a practised writer to enjoy these workshops. The workshops provides both structured and unstructured exercises to help you learn how to craft with words.   \nBudding writers and poets of all levels of experience welcome! \nParticipation in Parsifal Unpacked is not prerequisite\, but you do need a working knowledge of the story to get the most out of these workshops.
