Essential Oils and Incense … a Virtual Exploration
Exploring the power of sensory-memories and the connection between the senses
A day had already past but just recalling the explosion of flavors in my mouth from the garlic pork chop I had made me want to scream as loud as I could - the energy was just too strong to just talk about it. - GL
GENERAL PROPOSAL
Explore the role of sensory-memories in virtual connections by using essential oils and/or incense to trigger those memories.
SENSE(S) TARGETTED
Since perhaps SMELL and VOMERONASAL are the senses more neglected in a virtual connection - we definitively can not smell the people on the other side of the virtual connection - I thought it would be interesting to start these series of explorations with these two senses.
TYPES OF EXPLORATIONS
SHORT EXPLORATIONS - Virtual group or private sessions under 15 minutes in length focusing on a couple of scents only so the participant(s) get used to establishing the connection to their sensory-memories.
LONG EXPLORATIONS FOR CREATIVE PEOPLE - Virtual group or private 45 minutes sessions exploring different scents. The participant(s) will be encourage to transmute the energy triggered by the scents or their evoked sensory-memories into creative energy and then express this energy any way they choose. The idea here is to reinforce the connection with the other participant(s) by translating the impulses into a creative language that the other participant(s) can understand.
LONG NO-LINITS EXPLORATIONS - These are the same as the long explorations for creative people but offered on The Bare Canvas umbrella. More information about these and other Bare Canvas explorations coming soon.
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 or for more information, please contact me. - Thanks
Luciani’s Resonance Technique
Private virtual training on Luciani’s Resonance Technique.
The actor’s body, and the actor’s rapport and awareness of his/her own body, are key inseparable factors in the development of the actor’s presence and vocal production; two of the most important tools available to the performing artist.
For an actor to effectively communicate, he or she not only needs to find and unleash his/hers creative energy source but also, free the paths in his/her body for this energy to radiate out into the world.
The source of this energy or, power source, according to most movement experts, resides in the upper thighs, pelvic, and torso areas, it is partially rooted in sexual energy and, owes most of its passionate quality to it. This passion empowers the actor’s performance and his/her presence.
The interaction of power and vulnerability sets up a magnetic field in the actor and creates the perception that the actor may explode at any moment.
Finding the source of this power and freeing the body for a full resonance of this energy are the main focus of Guido Luciani's Resonance™ Technique.

creating a real-life character vs. impersonating
Should characters based on real-life people be treated any differently than fictitious ones.
LIVESTREAM BRAINSTORM SESSIONS ON ACTING
ABOUT THESE SESSIONS
These are livestream group sessions on acting about a particular subject chosen before the sessions. These are BRAINSTORMING sessions and everyone is welcome to expose their opinions on the matter without imposing his/her views on others.
THE TOPIC
Last year the were several movies out about real people. After watching a couple of them I begin to wonder if the process of creating a character should be the same when dealing with real people than when approaching a fictitious character. When creating a real-life character becomes “impersonating” the person rather than building a character based on his/her life? … and does it really matter?
ABOUT THE FORMAT
The sessions will be held via Zoom. To start, I’m trying 30 minutes sessions. The length of these sessions might change depending on the topic and the amount of participants. If there’s enough interest in these sessions, I might try holding them also on Social Media (Facebook and Instagram).
SCHEDULE
I’m currently working on a schedule for what I’m calling “Open Virtual Studio Week”. In the meantime, please contact me if interested in either a group session or in a one-on-one conversation.

Finding Your Creative Vision
CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY VIRTUAL WORKSHOP
Finding or rediscovering your Creative Vision is crucial to strengthening your Artist's Visual Statement. During these sessions we will explore the works of other artists, especially of those who "speak" to you and whom you might share your views with. You will learn or re-learn your own visual language and try it out with the others in the course, if you joined a group workshop or, with me, if you opt for one-on-one sessions.

Healing Through The Creative Energy: Transcending Fear
Healing Through The Creative Energy: Transcending Fear
Fear is one of the most “powerful” limitations in the artist and non-artist alike. If you, like myself, share the belief that energy can’t be destroyed - only transformed or “transmuted”, you'll appreciate the great potential of fear and the need to learn how to harvest its healing and creative powers. “Transcending" fear and transforming this energy into an inspirational source for the artist or, a personal empowering force for everyone by engaging the senses - man’s innate healing system - is the focus of these workshops.

A yoga mat or large towel. A tennis ball. At least 1 item (stimulus) per sense from the Sensory Stimuli list that you will receive after registering. A notebook and pencil to write, sketch, etc. If you plan taking the more energetic path, please have water and a small towel handy.

Our creative energy or life force, is a powerful source of inspiration for artists and a healing and transcending force in both; the artist and non-artist alike.
INTRODUCTION TO AWAKENING THE CREATIVE ENERGY:
The Sensory-Somatic Language
Virtual Group Workshops and Private Training
Our creative energy or life force, is a powerful source of inspiration for artists and a healing and transcending force in both; the artist and non-artist alike. Through a series of sensory-somatic exercises - involving the eight senses as identified in this approach - participants are encouraged to find their own unique path to the awakening of their creative energy. This energy could manifests itself explosively (Explosive Energy) or more introspectively (Potential Energy) therefore in these workshops, you will be presented with both physical and meditative exercises so you can follow the path that feels right for you.
The creative energy is “everyone’s life force” so whether you are an artists in need of recharging, an mountain climber wanting to open up your senses to fully take in the energy in your surroundings, an athlete in search of an energy boost or a more sedentary individual looking to better understand how to unleash this life force by engaging the senses; these workshops are for you and everyone will benefit from participating.
Virtual Live Events
For the time being, all workshops and private sessions are being held online via Zoom. Participants will receive the Zoom meeting link after registration. If you live or are planning to visit Bishop, Please contact me if you’re are interested in a in-person or a hybrid session.
