FEEL THE COLOR. PERFORMANCE

A tribute to the artist S E N T I R   E L   C O L O R performance May 27 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Sa Llavor Foundation, Binissalem, Mallorca   SENTIR EL COLOR is a multidisciplinary project that combines Contemporary Eurythmy, live music and recitation, audiovisual art and the poetry of María Zambrano, interwoven with interviews with Pablo Picasso and set in paintings by Joan Miró. It is a firm commitment to culture and art. Discover and experience the deeper meaning of what art is in today's society through the artistic movement, music, words and painting, through a tribute to four renowned artists: Pablo Picasso, Joan Miro, María Zambrano and Jordi Sabatés.   The heart, the center that houses the flow of life, not to retain it, but to let it pass in the form of a dance; keeping step, approaching reason, which is life, in the dance. Maria Zambrano ...Where I influence images and images influence my music... for the sake of creating a reality of mystery. Jordi Sabatés I try to apply colors just like words make poems, just like notes make music Joan Miró ...It is necessary to prevent a man from remaining indifferent to a work of art... what must be achieved is that it vibrates, that he is moved, that create in turn through imagination. Pablo Picasso     It is carried out by women artists who fight to integrate the performing arts and promote a new way of “feeling colour”. We hope that this project will raise questions in the viewer and leave no one indifferent.   Olga de Jenaro: Eurythmy Stage artist and choreographer, expert in making words and music visible through Contemporary Eurythmy.

INSPIRING A HEALTHY LIFE FOR THE SOCIAL ORGANISM

“Through a deepening of social life a new understanding of the human being will be found that will permeate human and social development for Evolution” Rudolf Steiner   POSTGRADUATE PROGRAM  EURYTHMY IN SOCIAL AND WORKING LIFE   Escuela Cultura offers a Postgraduate Program in Eurythmy in Social and Working Life with TERESA MAZZEI as Social Eurythmy Leader.   The development of the inner aspect of the social question through Eurythmy can establish a healthy dynamic relationship when as human beings we meet other human beings, and must reach the stage of an evolved and conscious social organism.   The goal of the Program The aim of the Postgraduate Program is to acquire sensitivity, images, knowledge and tools to start or to nourish the work as a eurythmist with companies or any other organisations in which the attention to individual people goes side by side with the attention to the social organism that they create. By social organism we refer to all companies or associations, or other organised context such as teams, collegium, study groups, ethical purchasing groups and so on, in which several people come together with a more or less complex organisation to achieve something that otherwise alone would not be possible to put on the ground. When working with Eurythmy in this field we can contribute, in a conscious and targeted way, to the development of both: the individual and the social organism, at the same time. Although an important part of the Program is dedicated to providing concrete exercises ‐ precious material acquired over the years largely by Annemarie Ehrlich (EWL Institute, Den Haag, The Netherlands) ‐ we don’t mean to provide recipes. The goal is that everyone develops their own sensitivity and relationship in respect with the social organism, to become able to evaluate and intervene with awareness and competence in situations she/he may encounter, dialoguing and “speaking the language” of the people who work there.  For example in the Program, we will meet some “words” that are often used when we work together, such as effectiveness and efficiency, team building, responsibility and delegation, motivation, process development, process owner, vision, organisational culture, feedback, information system, change management, leadership styles, job rotation and other more; we will connect them to the work that we can do through Eurythmy. The same will be for some of the soft skills that are required in social and working fields. For this, the Program has also parts of practising in creating and leading exercises as well as opportunities to be tutored in real project   Why use Eurythmy in social and working contexts as a specific Postgraduate Program? Each social organism lives in a constant movement and develops out of movement - as much as simple or complex it could be, each organisation ‐ through the people who work in it ‐ is born, grows, goes through phases, and can even end; it therefore acquires a life, an ability to learn and evolve, through the people that work in or around, but it is

IT IS SUPPORTED IN THE SUSTAINED. MUSIC WORKSHOP MEMORY

On March 3rd and 4th we held the Music Workshop for the Educational Community led by José Salinas, music teacher, orchestra , violin, lyre and singing Werbeck. What is the essence of music? We start with the purely rhythmic and walk to the beat to integrate rhythm, awakening the foundation for the musical. We performed intricate rhythmic patterns using body percussion, gradually leading us towards melody, voice and image, eventually leading to song. We sang in chorus and the melodic opened a space of amplitude in the feeling and the expressive. The melodies and songs allowed us to travel through different landscapes of melancholy, mystery, joy, serenity and joy. The canon voices created harmony in community, through different styles and eras. The Workshop has allowed us to live that we are a musical instrument. And the question arises where does music come from? Go where you can't, look where you see nothing, hears where it doesn't sound and light will have your being.

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. He was part of the "L'Arsenale" Theater School in Milan, Italy and has directed the "Christmas Cars" project at the Micael Free School. Since 2001, he has taught theater and speech training courses at different institutions in Spain.   More information: escolacultura@sallavor.es Registration aquí>

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 FUTURE LIES IN THE PAST. MEMORY OF THE ARTISTIC SCULPTURE WORKSHOP

On 13th and 14th of January 2023, as part of the Cycle of the 7 Arts presented by Escuela Cultura of the Fundació Sa Llavor "The path of the human being through the arts", we were able to experience the Art of Sculpture with Rudolf Kaesbach. In the path of the human being through the arts, sculpture offers revealing images of its relationship with the processes of time, movement and vital forces, qualities that we were able to experience in an experiential and creative process, through modelling, group eurythmic movement and the creation of sculptures with natural elements.   In the artistic stages of the history of art, the inner movement and soul forces of the human being become visible. Egyptian statues remained static and immobile for thousands of years. This primordial origin was transformed into a more fluid and flexible expression in Greek culture.     Greek sculpture went through three evolutionary stages, from the archaic, the seed of movement, through the classical, where the forces of contraction and expansion, action and repose and the subtleties of expression reached the highest degree of perfection, to Hellenism, where movement became an immoderate expression.     In the workshop we explore the qualities of sculpture starting from a primordial form modelled in clay, creating a sequence of transformation, a form that grows and transforms over time, to arrive at a figure that in itself is both conclusion and origin. The dialogue between the forces of expansion and contraction, gravity and lightness, emptiness and fullness, the dynamism and repose of forms, form the basis for a balanced and harmonious sculpture.     The culmination of a process is always a beginning.     Through eurythmic movement we experience the hidden forms of nature that underlie the gesture of classical and modern sculpture, movements that contain the fluidity of water, cycles of eternal return. We observe the four elements, earth, water, air and fire, present in sculpture, either in isolation, or integrated and harmonised in a single work, as in the case of Michelangelo, who in his youth isolated the forms and qualities of the elements, to progressively, in an artistic process of 60 years, culminate by masterfully uniting them. The processes of time and its transformations are found in modern sculpture, leaving behind the figurative, to focus directly on forms that seem to follow a natural impulse of growth and change.     The human being, an artist by nature, perceives his environment and tends within himself to create balance, harmony and order to counteract the enormous forces of nature. Just as megalithic constructions sought to balance the energies of the landscape with inner feelings, land art is an art form that allows us to experience this ancient creative and harmonising spirit, which can still be made visible today.     The garden of the Fundació Sa Llavor offered us the possibility of experiencing this artistic practice, where listening to and observing nature gives us the beginning of this ephemeral sculpture, as

THE IMPORTANCE OF ART IN EDUCATION

Rudolf Kaesbach has accompanied us during the month of January 2023 in different artistic processes carried out with the children of the Sa Llavor School. He has carried out workshops on clay modelling, wood carving and construction of mechanical wooden toys. Artistic creations make individual capacities and needs visible; they offer us valuable pedagogical contributions to attend to the evolution and healthy development of children.   2nd Class of Primary Education Rudolf has led clay sessions with the 2nd class of Primary Education, making images from the experience of Christmas and the Three Wise Men, through fables to an exercise in the creation of symmetrical shapes.   6th Class Primary Education In the 6th class of Primary Education, they have carried out woodcarving projects, initiating the construction of toys that integrate sculpture and movement through simple mechanics. They put into practice the contents of physics and mathematics through observation and ingenuity to create a mobile toy design. Artistic creations put educational content into practice by reinforcing their knowledge through experience.
