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: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.
