Toward Next Year
Report on Meetings:
A few weeks after the
conference Ella and Laila and Nathaniel and Nick and I met to review how things
had gone and to begin to look toward next year:
Look
back
see the
room
vast –
filled with darkness
and
light and movement
lots of
movement
air and
people walking
and
walking
stop motion
it is a
huge room
and
color moving and still
and
forms
in the
air
on the
walls
on the
floor
rooms
full of questions
would a conscious artistic movement that
lifted experience out of the object, lift humanity to some extent out of the
material – widening the experience of reality?
Look
forward
how?
where?
why?
So we scheduled a meeting
of everyone who was interested to come and talk about next year. We met on
Sunday, September 25 at Bright Wing Studio in Hillsdale NY.
Eleven people came. We had
read the 5th lecture, (Moral Experience of the Worlds of Colour and
Tone), of the cycle by Rudolf Steiner called “Art in the Light of Mystery
Wisdom” http://wn.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA275/English/RSP1984/19150101p01.html
First we recreated the
content of the lecture together. Ella led us in an experience of the intervals
in tone. We sang an interval and tried to identify our experience. We shared
the results and then read the description of that interval from the lecture.
Sometimes we could recognize similarities. Then we reported on the thoughts
that had been discussed at the earlier small meeting. We talked about
experience and reality. We talked about light and color and sound. We talked
about working together and how valuable that is. We will do something next
summer, it looks like it may be concerned with experience, light, movement,
color and sound but what that is exactly will arise out of our working
together.
Next meeting November 6, 1-4 pm at Bright Wing
Studio, 651 Harlemville Rd,
Hillsdale NY 12529, all are welcome. Please let Laura know if you are coming laurasummer@taconic.net 518-672-7302
