[Scroll for English]◾ПУТЬ. ИМПУЛЬС. РЕСУРС.

Жизнь циклична, и в этой цикличности важно чувствовать момент и то, куда тебе нужно именно сейчас.

Не спешить бежать по жизни по плану. Ставить его под сомнение. Менять пункты местами и вообще выкидывать. Действовать вне рамок и планов, по импульсу.

В эту субботу, на территории пространства СДВИГ в Бертгольд-центре будем исследовать в какой точке пути мы находимся сейчас, чувствовать импульс и искать то, что дает силы двигаться дальше.

29 февраля, 12.00-16.00

Творческая практика "Путь. Импульс. Ресурс."

◾Way. Impulse. Resource.

Life has cycles. And it is good to feel the moment, where you need to go and what to do right now. What is important.

Not to rush through life, trying to follow each step of the plan, but challenge it. Switch the order of the steps or throw some of them out completely. Be ready to act outside the box, upon impulse.

This Saturday, at the SDVIG space in Berthold centre, we will explore where on the path we are now, feel the impulse and find resources to continue.

February 29, from 12.00 to 16.00.

Creative practice. "Way. Impulse. Resource".

[Scroll for English]◾Иногда смыслы ускользают. Словно дорога вдруг теряется в лесу. Куда дальше? Все туда же? Или взять на несколько градусов правее? А может и вовсе поменять направление?

Тогда нужно остановиться. Провести ритуал. Соединиться со своими чувствами, снова заглянуть в свои смыслы. Сделать сверку.

29 февраля проверяем на прочность наши смыслы, ищем новую волну, вдохновляемся на весну. Что важно сейчас?

Новая практика на территории пространства Сдвиг в Бертгольд-центре. Скоро будет страница с регистрацией, но если интересно принять участие, то писать можно уже сейчас в директ!

◾Sometimes we experience a loss of meaning. Just as a road suddenly gets lost in the woods. Where do we go next? Follow the same route or take slightly to the right? Or maybe we change our direction altogether?

It is time to pause. Look around. Have a ritual. Connect with our feelings, verify our meanings. Have a reality check.

On February 29 we will be having a closer look at what is really important at the moment, catching new wave for the spring season and inspiring each other.

New workshop in the Sdvig space at Berthold center. Soon we will have a link for the page with registration, but if you feel you are interested in participating, you can DM us already now!

[Scroll for English]◾Появление новых идей начинается с исследования, сбора "материала". Чаще всего такое исследование неосознанно. Оно просходит само собой, естественным путем.

Но исследование можно сделать осознанным. Можно захотеть исследовать что-то прямо сейчас, не ставя перед собой никакой конкретной цели. Пусть цель родится в ходе самого исследования. Или не родится. Может, осознанное исследование и есть цель.

Вокруг вас прямо сейчас есть что-то, что хотелось бы поизучать? Наши варианты в сториз.

◾New ideas start with investigation, with researching the "data". A lot of the times this creative research happens subconsciously. By itself, naturally.

But we can do such an investigation intentionlly. You can decide to explore something this very moment, without any particular goal. Let the objective appear during the investigation. Or not appear at all. Maybe exploration itself is a goal.

Is there anything around you this very moment that you would like to explore? We'll share what grabbed our attention in the stories.

Do you know a way to immediately put yourself in a creative mood? Do you have such method? Please, share!

We share ours.

It's music.

Simple and almost 100% efficient.

There are scientific studies that say that certain combination of sounds produce specific effects in a human body. Youtube is filled with recordings that are meant to help you relax, inspire you, help to release stress and come up with new ideas.

It's fun to experiment with those. But in reality everything is even easier. It is a matter of knowing which music drives and inspires YOU. Knowing how your favourite music affects you. Choose the vibes that you need. Use this mindfully.

Many artists do it. Writers listen to something energizing to do a good chase scene. Photographers help models to relax and come into a right mood with a well-chosen playlist...

This is also about borrowing someone else's inspiration for your own persuits.

Which music drives you?

What's the point of being your own art object? Not for vanity and selfish reasons, for sure.

Rather to better explore and accept different sides of yourself.

See yourself as an ultimate value.

Observe yourself very well and appreciate in the same manner you would want to appreciate an art piece in the museum, a book, a theatre play, or a good movie.

It is a necessary step before establishing contact with others. If you skip this step, then who are you really with others? Does "You" even exist? Or you don't know yourself at all and only perceive yourself as a reflection in the eyes of others or a combination of some standard behavioural patterns?

That's why all our workshops always include a part of diving into your own depth.

First, we shake off the everyday noise and hassle. Then look into ourselves. And only having re-connected to our essence, we go on to interacting with others, to improvising and creating together.

"Creative practice? Sounds interesting, but what do you do exactly?" - the most common first response we get.

So here is some info!

Our practice consists of 4 parts:

💥Releasing mental and physical tension
💥Getting in touch with yourself
💥Contacting and interacting with others
💥Improvisations in groups and in pairs.

To do this we use different techniques.

✔Acting exercises to develop imagination and enhance sensitivity (from works of M. Chekov, L. Gracheva, Demidov etudes, Viewpoints approach).
✔Spontaneous dance and movement.
✔Meditation.
✔Some basic and easy yoga, ta**ra and other body techniques.
✔Storytelling.
✔Games.

We generally set a theme for practice, but don't follow any rigid course of action.

The main objective is to create an environment that would allow your creative potential (your "inner shaman") to awaken and express itself freely.

All you got is a bit of context. You are somewhere. Maybe enjoying thermal springs in Pamukkale. Or walking up to the top of the Statue of Liberty after queuing up forever. Or you are at the construction site of the Pyramid of Cheops. It is 2560 bc.

Or maybe you are in Pripyat, a city close to Chernobyl?

What do you see? Do you hear any sounds? Maybe a wind is bringing a faint scent of... Of what?

But more importantly, who are you and what are you doing there?

02/12/2019

Оh, no! It's Monday again! Can I get out please?

26/11/2019

Sometimes people say, "I am not into arts and stuff. I can't really create. What do you mean creative workshops? This is not for me..."

Well, there aren't really people who cannot create. What happens is we mix up the idea of creativity and mastery. Or creativity and arts.

Mastery implies certain techniques, learning and developing a skill. Creativity is about freedom. It is not connected to a notion of skill or technique. It is pure and free self-expression. Yes, combining creativity and mastery, one can produce a masterpiece, but even without mastery you can still express yourself.

Or, say, arts. Not all of us are writers, artists, dancers, singers or musicians. Not all of us create works of art, but all of us can be creative in our own lives. How we organize our home space or optimize our work. How we deal with problems, finding unobvious solutions.

No need to draw and paint to lead a creative life.
