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. We very much hope that you will agree that these dates and announcements will in future only be found on the Section website. And this is where we would like to publicise the links to the websites on which the events are originally publicised. Please get in touch to let us know about your events and send the corresponding links to another website or websites. • the material published in ‘Auftakt’ (Germany/Switzerland/Austria only) • the material published in ‘Stil’ A free sample copy of this quarterly magazine for Goetheanism, published by the three art Sections, can be requested from the Verlag Am Goetheanum: please write to [email protected] We really want to stimulate professional exchange between colleagues, so we would love to know how many musicians read this newsletter, and therefore whether we should be requesting more articles for this situation. We have also discovered that many colleagues either do not read the newsletter or do not know about it. To address this, we will be sending the autumn newsletter as a specimen copy to anyone interested. Please let us know whether there is anyone you know to whom we can send it. We would also very much like to invite you send us your further wishes and ideas to [email protected] so that the next step can be a joint undertaking. I am looking forward to the coming collaboration, to the coming encounters, and wish in conclusion to sincerely apologise to English-speaking readers for the delayed appearance of this English version.

These are mostly individuals working freelance who have no connection with other colleagues and are working in public or in more than one organisation. The development of colleagueship and of networks offering mutual support is extremely important for each of these individual eurythmists. Stefan Hasler, the new head of the Performing Arts Section, has been accompanying the work of the group and dealing with topical questions. Werner Barfod, the founder of the working group, enriches the group study sessions with insights into esoteric issues relating to social hygiene. Wolf-Ulrich Klünker has been a member of the group for three years; he makes contributions out of anthroposophy and presents perspectives relevant to both contemporary and social issues. As the pioneer in the field of eurythmy in the workplace, Annemarie Ehrlich is an attentive and a surprisingly progressive initiator. Rachel Maeder is artistically active in very many social fields and represents the Swiss professional association. Elisabeth Rieger presents issues relating to the potential field of conflict between eurythmy therapy and the social sphere. She, Rebecca Ristow and Cristi Heisterkamp make up the team actively carrying the German professional association. It is especially important to Cristi Heisterkamp for eurythmy and anthroposophy to become socially competent in public and for eurythmists to develop their contribution to contemporary spirituality. Mona Lenzen works in the fields of education and social care. Among other responsibilities Andrea Heidekorn is the contact person for the MA course at the Alanus University for Art and Society. She also carries responsibility for the development and organisation of conferences and for publications. Perceiving and deepening questions with inner substance and content is at the heart of the group’s work. This includes deepening an understanding of anthroposophy as a central working resource for eurythmy and making it more concrete and topical and revealing a vast variety of methods as working resources. The group also engages with social and contemporary historical themes: these supply the framework and the necessity for its specific work. In January our main theme was the question: What are we doing in our work with eurythmy in the social care environment today that is different to what we were doing two years ago? The main thing that had changed for Mona Lenzen was her approach to her teaching: ‘From the perspective of didactics I ask myself what I will be doing. From the perspective of teaching methods I ask myself what methods and means I will be using, i.e. how I will be conveying in specific situations the ‘what’ to people. The same theme, whether they are sound movements, sentence gestures, etc.: speaks to people in different ways if I use different teaching methods. So it is important to have a lot of different methods in one’s “baggage” so that one is prepared for as many situations as possible.’ We are currently experiencing more fluidity in the methods used. Mona Lenzen continued: ‘Advance planning gets me going, but not through the class. I need to be totally awake and inwardly flexible in the situation, ready to change many things in the moment. That requires, alongside my inner mobility, a total inner presence. And my educational work in school profits from what I learn and develop in my artistic work in a social care environment’ A good training will help to find an authentic and contemporary way of working with eurythmy: ‘I can only know what I know in the moment. But I have the foundations and that makes my work strong and authentic. I no longer beat myself up about the fact that I cannot have everything beforehand.’ Elisabeth Rieger continued: ‘I can no longer pass on or teach eurythmy without explaining the context. Why are we doing what? And then it is important to express oneself simply and at the same time specifically.’ Annemarie Ehrlich described: ‘I like opening all my eurythmy classes, including to non-eurythmists. They can help us to learn what language to use.’ And Elisabeth Rieger added: ‘For me it is about creating the context: it is important that something breathes between people, both in eurythmy and in the organisational development of an institution, for example… it is about what can develop in those participating, whether or not they are anthroposophists.

Noting that there is a danger of any authority figure limiting students enthusiasm for inquiry and assertion of autonomy , he emphasized the need for teachers to encourage independent thought and explanatory discussion in these years, and cited approvingly a number of schools where the class teacher accompanies the class for six years, after which specialist teachers play a significantly greater role. In most Waldorf schools, pupils enter secondary education when they are about fourteen years old. The Steiner Waldorf kindergarten strives to be a haven from the stresses of the outside world. Steiner considered children's cognitive, emotional and behavioral development to be interlinked. The children themselves are this book.

  • The Fairy Tale Sleeping Beauty and the Year 2020 by Richard John Fraser Cooper
    The Fairy Tale Sleeping Beauty and the Year 2020 By Richard John Fraser Cooper Who has not been taken aback by the unprecedented events of this year? Going forward, we are undoubtedly in a time of change, but what kind of change, and what may be learnt from times of change that have gone before? Much can be learnt when we more deeply question the events of one hundred years ago and see the movement of spiritual history in relation to 2020. Rudolf Steiner has drawn our attention to looking at history through the lens of 100 years. Each 100- year phase carries 3 x 33 1/3 years within it, to make a total of one hundred. Steiner showed how the rhythm of 331/3 years mirrors the life of Christ on earth, from birth to crucifixion and resurrection. It is therefore important to explore how we may reconnect with what was initiated 100 years ago, in its positive and negative aspects, to gain insight into mankind’s struggle toward the Christ impulse. 100 years ago from the ominous outbreak of the Coronavirus Crisis in 2020, the official implementation of the Treaty of Versailles was signed on the 10 January, 1920. The Treaty, enforcing reparation payments on Germany for its war guilt, was instrumental in laying the groundwork for the historical events that would later unfold; notably, the rearmament of Germany leading to the Second World War and the world order that would later emerge after 1945. Quite aptly, the signing had taken place in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles, in Paris, France, being rather symbolic of an elite struggling to pursue their own national and established political concerns separated from any of the spiritual implications of the decisions before them.

  • Harry Collison, MA – Kingston University Working Paper ______
    Harry Collison, MA – Kingston University Working Paper __________________________________________________________________________________________ HARRY COLLISON, MA (1868-1945): Soldier, Barrister, Artist, Freemason, Liveryman, Translator and Anthroposophist Sir James Stubbs, when answering a question in 1995 about Harry Collison, whom he had known personally, described him as a dilettante. By this he did not mean someone who took a casual interest in subjects, the modern usage of the term, but someone who enjoys the arts and takes them seriously, its more traditional use. This was certainly true of Collison, who studied art professionally and was an accomplished portraitist and painter of landscapes, but he never had to rely on art for his livelihood. Moreover, he had come to art after periods in the militia and as a barrister and he had once had ambitions of becoming a diplomat. This is his story.1 Collisons in Norfolk, London and South Africa Originally from the area around Tittleshall in Norfolk, where they had evangelical leanings, the Collison family had a pedigree dating back to at least the fourteenth century. They had been merchants in the City of London since the later years of the eighteenth century, latterly as linen drapers. Nicholas Cobb Collison (1758-1841), Harry’s grandfather, appeared as a witness in a case at the Old Bailey in 1800, after the theft of material from his shop at 57 Gracechurch Street. Francis (1795-1876) and John (1790-1863), two of the children of Nicholas and his wife, Elizabeth, née Stoughton (1764-1847), went to the Cape Colony in 1815 and became noted wine producers.2 Francis Collison received the prize for the best brandy at the first Cape of Good Hope Agricultural Society competition in 1833 and, for many years afterwards, Collison was a well- known name in the brandy industry.

  • 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.
