The New Absolute Creative Space - Homepage

I finally managed to setup my virtual creative space the way I want it. The new homepage should give you a glimpse of what’s going on in my creative life and give you the opportunity to collaborate and participate in the creative process.

NOTE TO MYSELF: This is a place-holder page - a post in the TRAINING blog - just so I can pull it out in the summaries that draw from this blog. This should link to the ABSOLUTE CREATIVE SPACE (homepage) page.

The Bare Canvas: Art Aroused by Sexuality

Listening to The Silence

“Don't look for meaning in the words. Listen to the silences...”  - Samuel Beckett

PROPOSAL

Explore the virtual connection in a series of one-on-one short livestream sessions. The idea is to connect and communicate without words.

THE SETUP

For the initial meetings, the participants must be in front of a plain background - flat wall, drapes, door or anything bare and without pictures or decorations. The frame should be from the chest to the top of the head. The lighting should be flat with not shadows on the face. Even though the participants are requested to remain in silence, the sound should be on so they can hear each others breath. If the person is using other than the computer’s camera, this should be close to the screen so when “sending” the energy they can still see the “receiving” person on the screen.

THE SESSION

There’s absolutely not talking during these short sessions - from the moment when the session starts to when it ends. The idea is to enter in a silent conversation. The person “sending” the energy will look not at the other person’s eyes but straight to the camera lens. The person “receiving” the energy will look at the other person’s eyes on the screen. The turn to “send” and “receive” will be negotiated silently. Learning when to “send” and when to “receive” is part of this exploration. It’s not a staring contest. You can look away, move your head, etc. just like you would if you were actually talking using words.
More information will be sent out to participants prior to the session.

THE DURATION

These are experiments so the duration of the sessions might change after the firsts sessions but initially I would like to start with 8 minutes sessions. The idea of timing them is so everyone has the same chance to connect.

SCHEDULING A SESSION

I will be posting here and on social media a schedule for these meetings. In the meantime, if you are interested in participating, please contact me. - Thanks

The Bare Character: Energy Focusing Rituals

THE BARE CHARACTER OR BARE STATE RITUAL

This is a short version of the long Bare Character - as I call it when working with actors - or Bare State ritual.  A meditative state achieved by delayering ourselves assisted by our breath.  This is a guided ritual performed in silence to allow us to listen to our bodies and breath.  The difference between this ritual and most meditation practices is that of "movement".  Since this ritual was originally devised by actors for actors, being able to move during the ritual es essential.  Non-movers are always welcome to meditate in the usual lotus pose.

On Acting: The Bare Character Process

The Bare Character: The Energy Flow

This is a long Energy Focusing Ritual. The participant is guided through a longer “delayering” and “rediscovery” processes and encouraged to express him/herself creatively through the newfound energy.
