“The Art of Play, Presence and Performance

embodying

Mindfulness, Fearlessness and Kindness”

fearlessness

The creative process is an act of entering into emptiness and discovering what emerges from moment to moment.

Through deliberation, a mindfulness-based improvisation practice developed by the late Scott Kelman, we begin with things as they are, discovering

a deepened awareness of ourselves -

our bodies, sensations, emotions and thoughts.

a heightened sense of others and our relationship -
to other players and our environment.

By yielding to our natural empathy - moving between self and other, body and space - we begin to tap into the creative potential of both the individual and the ensemble. By engaging other players through awareness, movement, sound and words, the group discovers connection, meaning, narrative, and story; a collective dream.

For over 40 years, the practice of deliberation has been found invaluable by people from all walks of life - performers, parents, teachers, counselors, and artists of all types. This intensive training course is open to anyone wishing to bring more presence and creativity to their life and work.
