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:Me and My Shadows
DESCRIPTION: \nSpiritual Science revealed in Goethe’s masterpiece Faust \nRead our leaflet \n  \nYou are warmly invited to attend our performance. We are endeavouring to bring some of what Steiner brought of the mysteries revealed in Goethe’s “Faust” in the weeks leading to the centenary of Steiner’s crossing of the threshold. \nDownload the poster \nWhat is it about?  \n\n\nMe and My Shadows is a multimedia performance that brings the power of Goethe’s and Steiner’s words with original score played by live musicians\, Eurythmy movement and coloured light and coloured shadow and puppetry art in community. Performances will take place in March 2025 at Rudolf Steiner School theatre. \nThis production of Faust will bring a modernised translation using Goethe words. In addition\, a new character -‘The Teacher’ will present Steiner’s explanations of the strange experiences Goethe wrote as his characters cross the threshold into different spiritual realms. Steiner was deeply impressed with the accuracy of Goethe’s descriptions\, even naming the temples he designed\, after Goethe\, Steiner had the intention of creating a space that would honour and support productions of Faust (and his own ‘Mystery Plays‘) and might even be able to communicate with the plays\, \nFaust reimagined \nThis re-imagining of the 17th -18th Century play Faust explores relevant and crucial contemporary themes such as an epidemic\, mental health\, struggles with addiction\, trauma\, cancelling\, experiences with spiritual beings and living life as a flawed human being who causes much destruction and pain. \nMe and my Shadows will be presented by many creatives as a collaboration of writer and composer\, actors\, musicians\, choir\, eurythmy\, light and coloured shadow artists and crew to bring to the beautiful little theatre at Kamaroi School \,Belrose Sydney in March 2025. \nGratitude for the St John Sydney Group\, The Christian Community Sydney\, Kamaori Rudolf Steiner School\, The Anthroposophical Society in Australia\, Inala\, members from Lorien Novalis Steiner School\, Gleneaon Steiner School\, the School of Spiritual Science and the many individuals who have already dedicated hundreds of hours for their practical and financial support. \nPerformance dates \n2025 \nFriday 7 March at 7.30pm Opening night \nSaturday 8 March at 2.00pm.  \nSenior accessible session\n \nFriday 14 March at 7.30pm\nSaturday 15 March at 2.00pm \nWhere \nKamaroi Rudolf Steiner School\n220 Forest Way\, Belrose NSW 2085 \nFor more information \nPlease contact us \nBookings \nBook here! \n \n  \n  \n\n\n\n  \n  \n\n  \n  \n
