by Bob Banner From my perspective it would be a good thing to delineate what we are doing around our transformative, healing workshops/play shops. To ask questions about why and what for and the various results, consequences, transformations, are good in any inquiry. Human activity has many reasons and purposes, diverse as they may be. Some reasons are for entertainment, to have fun, to escape the hardships of the day, to work for our loved ones, to change, to heal, to be more free, to become what our parents never were, to make it better, to expand, to accept ourselves and others, to rid desire, to go into desire more fully, to release what’s not working... And a myriad more. So, this working paper is a rough draft to explore the questions, to ask others for their opinions, to see what can emerge, to see how collaboration possibly beget more collaboration, etc. My thinking got inspired by the collaboration of contact improv and hypnotic music/dance last Sunday morning. After talking with others I came up with some categories as to what can evolve, what might happen, and what is working already deliciously. Here are some categories, or zones to possibly explore: 1. Safety–emotional supports. 2. Dance–movement 3. Surrender–to something beyond or source. 4. Catharsis/release–emotional: fear, anger, etc. 5. Mind expansion–and train altered states. 6. Community–that sense of others participating. 7. Deep conversation 8. Visceral nourishment (the “Yum” experience) 9. Others not readily available as of this writing. These points could be a list that one could take to a play or workshop or seminar or even sporting event or concert or any other activities that we attend; to see which categories could be clicked as we reflect on the various needs we have for why we do the things we do. |
