  • Newsletter from the Performing Arts Section
    Newsletter from the Performing Arts Section Easter 2015 FOREWORD Dear newsletter readers, dear colleagues I started as the new head of the Section for the Performing Arts in January. This means that I now have the opportunity to meet people, to get to know initiatives and to take a new look at many situations. I am eager to see what will develop and curious to discover more about the quality of Section life, whether individuals in their own community feel that their work is part of the Section or not and what kind of collaboration and support is needed today. In any case I want to ask all of you to get in touch at any time to let me know your suggestions, your wishes and requests, your criticisms: I am simply curious! Every ‘newbie’ is also given the opportunity to question the status quo in a quite new and perhaps ‘stupid’ way, so I am letting you know that the newsletter from the next issue will change in appearance. In exchange with Silke Kollewijn, Hanna Koskinen, Michael Kurtz and Marcel Sorge we have for now come to the following decisions: The newsletter will continue to contain: • substantial contributions relating to aspects of eurythmy, Creative Speech and music • reports with a broad, long-term perspective (and that will therefore still be of interest in years to come) • some biographies of those who have died • current discussions on themes relating to specific subjects • questions about the Section: what are the different ideas of the Section? How does the Section live? What can we share with each other on this theme in the forum that this newsletter offers? The newsletter will no longer contain: • appointments and announcements.

  • Chapter Three a Call to Mindful Action
    Chapter Three A seed is planted … A Call to Mindful Action In this chapter I will trace the origins of Steiner Education in Europe, its context and its emergence in Australia. From out of the ash destructive fires, sprouting seeds and green shoots emerge. (Korobacz 1988:1) I gaze out onto the street. It is unusually empty and quiet. Nothing is happening. Not even the dogs are barking. I am in Ubud and its Nyepi day on the Balinese religious calendar. On Nyepi the world expected to be clean and everything starts anew, with human beings demonstrating their symbolic control over themselves and the life force of the world. I had arrived on the eve of the festival unprepared. Even the automatic tellers were closed and there was nothing to eat. Fortunately food had been prepared the previous day and a simple nasi goreng (fried rice) was brought up to me for breakfast. What to do? I organise my writing table, I may as well commence work. I look out over the straw-coloured rice fields. Not a working duck in sight! A breeze ripples over the stooped and heavy-laden heads of rice. Over and against this peaceful scene I contemplate the chaos and turmoil in the Europe at the time my parents were born. Following the Armistice of November 11 1918 and the ensuing collapse of the Central Powers and with the Allied blockade still in effect, economic and social chaos ensued. In Germany, the growing ranks of the unemployed were swelled by the return of disgruntled soldiers from the Western Front and because of hunger and destitution, 114 many were driven to join active revolutionaries of many persuasions, of the right and left.

  • CC Nov Dec 2018.Spub
    November/December 2018 CAMPHILL CORRESPONDENCE “Rose“ circa 1947 by Shirley Seagren Schwartz (1929-2007) Let us move now from the practical how to the theoretical why: Why should we love our enemies? The first reason is fairly obvious. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction. So when Jesus says, "love your enemies," he is setting forth a profound and ultimately inescapable admonition. Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies—or else? The chain reaction of evil—hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars—must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation. By Martin Luther King.

  • Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin, Architects of Anthroposophy
    Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin, Architects of Anthroposophy Dr John Paull [email protected] A century ago, on the 23rd of May 1912, the winning design of Canberra was announced. Soon after, two talented Chicago architects set sail for Australia. Their plan for Australia’s national capital, already named Canberra but at the time merely an empty paddock, had won first prize in an international competition which attracted 137 entries. The winning prize money for the design was a modest £1750 (McGregor, 2009). Walter Burley Griffin (1876-1937) and Marion Mahony (1871-1961) were married in the year preceding the win. Marion had nagged Walter to enter the competition, “What’s the use of thinking about a thing like this for ten years if when the time comes you don’t get it done in time!” She pointed out the practicalities: “Perhaps you can design a city in two days but the drawings take time and that falls on me” (Griffin, 1949, volume IV p.294). After the win was announced, Walter declared: “I have planned it not in a way that I expected any government in the world would accept. I have planned an ideal city - a city that meets my ideal of a city of the future” (New York Times, 1912). Marion chronicled events of their life together in a typewritten four- volume memoir of over 1600 pages (Griffin, 1949). Her memoir documents their life together and liberally reproduces personal correspondence between them and their associates. Her unpublished manuscript reveals the intensity with which she and Walter embraced the thoughts of Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) and anthroposophy.

  • Motive September 2015
    MOTIVE AUS DER ANTHROPOSOPHISCHEN ARBEIT IN NRW NUMMER 13 | SEPTEMBER 2015 Alexander Schaumann Materie und Geist Im Gespräch mit Volker Harlan Neben vielen Anderen war es nicht zuletzt Volker Harlan, der zur Ausstrah- lung des anthroposophischen Bochum beigetragen hat. Von ihm ist eine Reihe von Büchern erschienen – über die Pflanzengestalt in Kunst und Wissenschaft, über Beuys und über die Substanzen des Taufsakraments der Christengemeinschaft. Nicht zuletzt aber dürfte all denen, die ihn selbst erlebt haben, die unvergleichliche Darstellungskunst seiner Vorträge in Erinnerung geblieben sein. Anschaulich bis ins Detail fühlte man sich zu neuer Aufmerksamkeit aufgerufen. Die Welt wurde interessant und man merkte, dass man selbst noch nie so recht hingesehen hatte. › Meine erste Begegnung mit ihm hat früh stattgefunden. 1968 auf Bezug auf seine Jugend spricht er von Erweckungen. Am Anfang einer Pfingstjugendtagung der Christengemeinschaft erschien steht die Natur.

Zwei Jahre später war ich stiller geworden. Beim Malen hatte Heimat- und Naturkunde waren seine Lieblingsfächer, doch ich den eingeschränkten Wert von Vorstellung und Überlegung dabei blieb es nicht. Auf Grund familiärer Zusammenhänge kennengelernt und war damit fähig geworden aufzusaugen, was hatte sein Vater im Jugendspielkreis der Christengemeinschaft Harlan zu geben hatte.

  • Goetheanum, Dornach, Switzerland
    1 2 3 GOETHEANUM, DORNACH, SWITZERLAND PROJECT. The Goetheanum in Dornach near Basel in Switzerland is the international center of the anthroposophical movement. Named after Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the building houses two halls (seating 1,000 and 500, respectively), exhibition and lecture rooms, a library, a bookshop as well as administrative rooms of the Anthro- posophical Society. The Society‘s research and education facilites are located in the neighboring buildings. The first Goetheanum, designed by Rudolf Steiner between 1908 and 1925, was a timber and concrete construction which was destroyed by arson on New Year‘s Eve 1922/23. In the course of the year 1923, Steiner designed a new building en- tirely made of reinforced concrete – nowadays known as the Second Goetheanum. Construction works began in 1924; however, the buil- ding was not completed until 1928, after the architect‘s death. ACOUSTICS. In the large auditorium of the Goetheanum, perfor- 5 mances of the in-house theater and eurythmy groups as well as of visiting artists from around the world take place.
