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:The great Luciferic/Ahrimanic face-off
DESCRIPTION: \n…and the tragedy of duality in our time\nThe 1st of 3 practice-based webinars exploring key challenges of 5th epoch\, 6th epoch and our cosmic future \nas represented in the ceiling motifs of the first Goetheanum \nPresenter: Fiona Campbell  \n  \n We are familiar with the figures of Lucifer and Ahriman as portrayed in Rudolf Steiner’s definitive sculpture\, the Representative of Humanity. There\, both beings are held in balance by the shining figure of the Christ Being. Yet in daily life\, it is the spectre of Ahriman that shadows us continually\, through our engagement with technologies that both ease and complicate everyday tasks. Lucifer seems to recede into the background of our consciousness as more an eternal archetype than a current concern\, a figure\, perhaps\, from the Biblical past. \n \nYet the motif of the Soul of our 5th Post-Atlantean epoch (left) shows both Lucifer and Ahriman irretrievably enmeshed\, and not held apart by Christ. So we can ask the question: do we really understand their interwoven relationship and its consequences for us in contemporary life? That where one being is\, the other is also always present? As a counterpart? \nRudolf Steiner describes this dual principle as an inescapable tragedy for the modern soul. So\, how can we grapple with this? In the motifs that filled the ceiling of the first Goetheanum\, we find some answers. \n  \nTell me more … \nThis is the first of three intensive\, practiced-based webinars that aim to deepen the work introduced in the Goetheanum Epoch Motifs series earlier this year. Questions about their relevance to today and how they could guide our future development emerged during this series. Let’s examine these questions further through immersing ourselves in the motifs.  \nThree webinars on the theme \nEach webinars revisit one of the three motifs that embody our present\, future and cosmic stage motifs of Steiner’s Goetheanum ceiling sketches. The three webinars concern:  \n\n\nThe great Lucifer and Ahriman face-off and the tragedy of duality in our time | The Germanic/Persian motif  | \nThe future of dualism: facing our shadow self | The Slavic motif |  \nThe correlation between the IAO motif and the Foundation Stone Meditation | The IAO motif | \n\n\nEach motif embodies a soul stage of human development – for the 5th epoch (current)\, the 6th epoch (future) and for our cosmic\, eternal image.  \nWe will explore these three motifs through their gestures\, meanings and role in our soul/spiritual evolution using lecture\, discussion\, contemplation and some drawing. \nWho are the webinars for? \nFor students of Anthroposophy\, Steiner teachers\, artists and anyone interested in understanding Steiner’s approach to the spiritual evolution of humanity. \nYou do not need to have attended the first Epochs series\, nor do you need drawing skills to enjoy these workshops: the focus is on the experiencing the content through doing\, not learning drawing techniques.  \nWhen are they on? \nSaturday afternoon 4.00-5.30pm AEST\nWebinar workshops: 24 September | 22 October | 26 November \nEach session will be recorded and will be available for registrants.\nDrawing materials list and background reading suggestions emailed at registration. \nHow much does it cost?  \nOnline series:  | $100 for 3 webinars | $40 per webinar | Concessions available – please contact Fiona. \nWhere do I enrol? \nEnrol here! \nThen download the payment details\, materials list and suggested readings. \n The Zoom link will be sent to you upon enrolment. You will be sent a reminder one hour before the webinar starts.  \nIf you lose your email with the link\, you will need to register again.  \nFor more information \nPlease contact Fiona Campbell  \n  \nAbout the presenter: Fiona Campbell PhD. is a researcher\, lecturer\, visual artist and arts educator. The nature of consciousness in our inner and outer development is one of her special interests\, a topic she has lectured and researched for 25 years. Her artistic research on the Goetheanum motifs complements this interest.  \nFiona is also a member of the Stream of Life Research Studio\, where she focuses on her other two specialisations\, phenomenology and creative cognition. \nYou can find out more about Fiona on her website\, read about her teaching work at Sydney Rudolf Steiner College or listen to a 2020 ABC Soul Search interview with her about the anthroposophical approach to art.  \nBackground notes \n2022 marks the centenary of the burning of the first Goetheanum on New Year’s Eve in 1922/23. As part of the 100th anniversary of the fire\, artists and members of the Anthroposophical Society around the world have been working with the forms and motifs of the 1st Goetheanum. These three webinars are part of this world-wide activity. \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 1st Goetheanum and 7 Sketches for the small cupola. These motifs map the spiritual history of humanity and were intended to support a training in karmic vision through Art. \n  \n  \n‘I must not ever leave you. \nYou will in future often find me at your side; \nI shall not go from you until you find \nthe power of that which you are to become.’  \n(The Soul’s Probation\, Scene 5) \n. \nPhoto credits: from The Language of Color in the First Goetheanum by Hilde Raske  \n
