SPEECH ART AND THEATRE. HEAR THE WEAVING OF FORCES. APRIL 2023

"And you give a name to everything and the word is born as a creative source"     On April 21st and 22nd, we continue our journey through the 7 Arts and arrive at the fifth meeting of “The path of human being through the Arts” with Severino Airoldi as a guest who will guide an Artistic Workshop for the Speech Art and Theater Community. Through the artistic word we explore fields as vital as: the voice · the breath · the listening · the spoken sound. Creativity, vitality and joy accompany us in speaking exercises and recitation of poems, where we look for the relationship between voice and the gesture. We discovered vowels and consonants as an inspirational source. The theatrical improvisation, the creation of scenes and characters leads us to lose our inhibitions, live in the present and trust one's own creativity through a relaxed and familiar atmosphere. "Any game in which the person has to transform and play a role, is beneficial for the soul, it takes it out of its accustomed routine and reinforces its freedom and adaptability" Georg Kuhlewind   Severino Airoldi He was born in Switzerland. He studied Word Art and Theater in Stuttgart, Germany. Teacher, reciter and declaimer. He has taught German and theater at the Escuela Libre Micael in Madrid. He was part of the Trova de Cuentos and Euritmia Ensemble. He has worked in the art of the word and theater in sociotherapy.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MUSIC IN EDUCATION

Music is an essential element for achieving a healthy development in the evolutionary process of growth and learning. The sound of music awakens balanced and harmonic thought, connects with sensitivity, encourages the will and facilitates the social quality of listening. Music and singing situate the performer on the fine line between the intangible and the sensitive, making them part of an authentic spiritual experience. “When human beings listen to music, they have a feeling of well-being because the tones harmonize with what they have experienced in the world of their spiritual home” Rudolf Steiner It is an essential art in our time to recover the connection with oneself, with others and with nature.

LIMIT YOURSELF OH! UNLIMITED. MEMORY OF THE ARTISTIC PAINTING WORKSHOP

On February 3th and 4th we held the Painting Workshop for the Educational Community given by Víctor Mardaras at Fundació Sa Llavor. We open the meeting experimenting through Eurythmy the essential qualities of blue and yellow, of darkness and light. We live its polarities in our movement and gesture, from the deep and dark to the expansive and luminous and vice versa. With the opposite blue triangle and yellow triangle represented on the human figure, the two triangles meet at the center of the chest creating a green diamond, space of freedom. From this place of openness we move and create. Now we are attuned to start painting from pure color. We transit through watercolours the luminous yellow, the serene blue, the willful red. What color do I identify with? Which one lives strongly in me? From that color, we create a composition where we invite other colors to dialogue, seeking balance and harmony in giving and receiving. A new horizon opens when observing the paintings the next day, something that leads us to live the colors from another material. The pastel chalks offer us the possibility of painting softly, creating the spectrum of the 7 colors from the 3 primaries. They open up new paths of expression, new tones and unexpected individual and group discoveries. The colors captured on paper were also able to be experienced in space thanks to the eurythmic movement. The Greek myth of Iris, daughter of Thaumates and Electra, messenger of the gods and goddess of the 7 colors, representative of the invisible and of the union of Heaven and Earth , inspired us to live the movement of color in space, creating and experiencing the gesture of colors, violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, red, indigo. How is the movement of blue? How does it differ from the movement and gesture of yellow? How does red move? We express the qualities and the deepest essence of colors through individual and group movement. An exercise in drawing with charcoal in black and white gave us the experience of creating an object with volume and weight on paper, with lights and shadows. This experience is associated with the history of painting, when the artist manages to give objects and figures their own weight and depth. Finally, after listening to a brief narrative about the origin of the arts, we held a session in which each participant decided freely the materials, format and theme of His painting. Intuition, imagination and artistic inspiration sow the beginning of a new path that encompasses and collects the experience of color and painting.

MUSIC. IS SUSTAINED IN THE SUSTAINED. MARCH 2023

“Music is an Educational Art par excellence, is inserted in the Soul and the form in the Virtue" Plato   On the 3rd and 4th of March we invite you to continue "The path of the human being through the Arts" and immerse yourself in the Art of Music. Take part in the Music Workshop for the Educational Community as part of the Cycle of the 7 Arts presented by the Escuela Cultura of the Fundació Sa Llavor. Music awakens the deepest parts of the human being and activates vital forces and sensitivity. It strengthens the sense of community and solidarity. As an art that is sustained over time, it has a special relationship with the development and evolution of human life. Music lives in the past as an art linked to humanity, and in the future as an artistic healing force that links our cosmic origin with earthly experience, opening doors towards salutogenesis and healing in the human being. - Perceive how music is movement on all levels, in your body, in your soul, in your most spiritual principles. - Experience how music needs an instrument to materialise, either with our innermost instrument, the voice, or with others more external to us, such as the lyre. - Experience some of the planetary and zodiacal qualities in yourself, thanks to melodies and exercises specially created to cultivate self-perception. -Learn about the holistic conception of singing thanks to an in-depth study of the work carried out by the singer Valborg Werbeck-Svärdström.   "Everyone has a voice to sing. Our goal is to discover it, remove the obstacles and free the voice" Valborg Werbeck   More information: escolacultura@sallavor.es Registration here>     JOSÉ SALINAS Musician, Telecommunications Engineer. Trained in Music Therapy, Human Biography and Werbeck Singing. He dedicates himself fully to music, collaborating full-time with different initiatives such as salutogenic choirs, Werbeck singing work groups, conducting youth orchestras, as well as giving music, singing, lyre and violin classes to children and adults.

THE ARTISTIC CREATION IS A REFLECTION OF OUR INNER WORLD

Through their artistic creations, children express the evolutionary moment they are going through. They show us their inner experience in relation to the world around them. By observing four images with the same motif "the house", painted by the same child over a period of three years, from 3 to 6 years of age, we can "read" their evolutionary path and the transformation of their state of mind in relation to the surrounding world.       Rudolf Kaesbach has accompanied us as a guest during the month of November 2022, carrying out artistic processes of modelling with clay with the children of Sa Llavor. The attentive contemplation of the artistic creations that emerge from this process, shows us a global vision of the evolutionary path of the children throughout the different educational stages. The artistic process must be the central axis of the educational process. Artistic activity benefits in a holistic way the healthy development and growth of the child.   "I am the art teacher, they are the artists". Rudolf Kaesbach   First Cycle “The Princess and the Frog” (6 years old) This image comes from the story "The Princess and the Frog" and shows a harmonious and serene composition. The union with the surrounding world is experienced. It has been made in a flat format, with small pieces of clay that create the scene, centred on the right/left orientation and symmetry. It begins with the elaboration of the earth, then the mountain and the tree. The expansion of the branches of the tree is repeated in the human figure, although somewhat more restrained. Of particular importance is the place chosen for the ball in the air, a place of balance that completes the harmony of the image.     “The Bridge” (7 years old) At the age of 7, the world and oneself are still experienced as a non-separate whole and a bridge to separation begins to be built. For this creation it is proposed to make a river, the land around it and a bridge that connects the two parts. The rivers can be winding and circular, straight and long, or as in this image, smooth and well contained in the earth. The bridge appears as a symbol of that passage towards the world that the adult accompanies.   Second Cycle “The Cave” (8 years old) The world and all that inhabits it, one begins to perceive and situate it from oneself, from within, but still with the security of being tucked in and at home. Some caves have a very wide entrance and appear open to the world, others are deep, dark and solid. In the image we have a cave where the figure is comfortably seated next to a fire, observing the outside where a tree with a bird appears.   “The Hen” (9 years old)   We see the image of a hen carrying her chicks, leaving and crossing a threshold. At around 9 years of age, the experience of separation from the environment is

THE PATH OF THE HUMAN BEING THROUGH THE ARTS

  "Nature must become an art and art a second Nature"  Novalis Let us imagine a great snow-clad plain spread out before us and upon it here and there rivers and lakes hard frozen. The neighbouring sea is mostly frozen over close to shore; further out huge floes are drifting; occasional stunted trees and bushes lift heads heavy with snow and icicles. It is evening. The sun has already set, leaving behind the golden splendour of its afterglow. Before our eyes are two female figures and out of the afterglow is born — we might say is sent forth — a messenger from the higher worlds, who stands before the women and listens with close attention to what they are telling of their inmost feelings and experiences. One of the two standing there hugs her arms tightly to her body, cowers together, and exclaims: “I am freezing cold.” The eyes of the other woman wander over the snow-clad plain, out to the frozen waters and over the trees thick with hanging icicles, and from her lips burst forth the words “how glorious this whole landscape is.” She is utterly heedless of her own feelings, utterly oblivious to her physical suffering from the cold. We feel warmth streaming into her heart, for she has no attention to spare for her physical bodily discomfort, being inwardly overwhelmed by the wonderful beauty of this chill and frozen scene. Then the sun sinks further and further, the color fades out of the afterglow and the two friends fall into a deep slumber. One of them, the one who had been so acutely conscious of the cold in her bodily self, sinks into a sleep which might easily become fatal; the other sinks into a sleep in which we can recognise the influence of the emotion expressed in the words “How glorious,” which continues to warm her limbs and keep them full of life throughout her slumber. And she hears the youth who, born out of the glory of the afterglow, says to her these words, “Thou art Art”; and then she falls asleep. With her she took into her slumbers all the results of the impressions made upon her by the landscape which has been described; and a sort of dream mingled with her sleep. And yet it was not a dream, but in a certain way a reality, although of a unique kind akin to dreaming in its form. It was the manifestation of a reality which this woman's soul had barely been able to conceive before. For the experience that befell her was not a dream; it merely resembled one. That which she experienced may be described as “astral imagination.” And if we are to describe her visions we cannot do it otherwise than by setting forth in words the picture by means of which “imaginative” perception speaks. For the soul of this woman became aware at that moment what the event signalised. By the words of the youth, “Thou
