Our friend Sadya Mizan is launching the 5th Project of “URONTO”

URONTO is an artist community who are in a new way working toward documenting a sector of memories of old architectural existences through any discipline of Art. Basically “URONTO” Residential Art Exchange Program is a meeting place for creative individuals to work with a common theme and space, but in different languages. Visual artists, photographers, writers, film maker, architect, musicians and performing artists are only a few disciplines who will be participating at these gatherings, which will often take place in rustic landscapes, whether it be old, abandoned houses or camp out in rural communities and mostly to any soon-to-be dumped or finished place or natural atmosphere.
The aim of the program is to accommodate and sustain an organic environment for the artists to fall in rhythm with the natural sphere and project their insights amongst fellow artists, ultimately creating a reverberating atmosphere to inspire further projects.
“URONTO” works toward documenting the relation of time and space and the changes of spaces with time, through art practice of any discipline. Participants of each project are invited to portray the history, stories, myth, values or anything about the architectural structure or house or building chosen for every episode.
We do believe that every form of art is inter-related and also it has its own prosper strength individually indeed. Therefore we invite artist of any creative discipline to participate, so that we can have a unique documentation of the theme in enormous variation of artistic media. Where a writer might produce literary pieces or an article; an artist might prepare a painting or an installation piece while a musician may create a tune/number based on mood, history and atmosphere of the place.
Guideline of the project:
Venue: PK Sen Building, Sadarghat, Chittagong.
Date: 22-29 July 2016
Reporting Date: 22July 2016 at
Working dates: 23-28 July 2016
Open studio day: 29 & 30 July 2016

BERLIN ACTING MASTERCLASS with JOHN STRASBERG
at
SOMOS ART HOUSE in BERLIN

February 13th – 17th. 2017

Organic Creative Process for Actors.

What makes an artist? What makes him or her creative, going beyond technique? The answer is profoundly simple, the ability to be inspired, able to live spontaneously in the context of the character and the play(….).Real thoughts are simple, personal, profound, they come from what you sense and feel. They are more spontaneous. They are not correct, or intellectualized, and mechanical. Recognizing the difference, you think like a human being, putting yourself into the character’s shoes.

John Strasberg

Organic Creative Process for Actors. (February 13th – 17th. 2017)

The Masterclass is based on developing each actor’s Organic Creative Process, a deeply personal creative process based on developing a consciously, intuitive process that helps the actor to become deeply involved in the character’s world, transforming him or herself.
Good actors live in another world. Great actors live in another world as somebody else.
Actors will learn Involvement, dreaming, imagining, flashes of insight, understanding, and learning how to read and understand the script, which is what is important.
Technique is not a mechanical, linear process. Class feels like a rehearsal, more than a class. The Actors’ Studio was unique in the world, and my work continues to embody that love, passion, discipline, and dedication.

John Strasberg

ECO-THERAPY : Walking meditation

Eco-therapy practices including outdoor walking meditation as a wonderful way to renew our contact with nature.  The key to the practice of walking meditation is mindfulness. Dwelling in the present moment, we are fully aware of our surroundings, of our breath, and the precious contact of our feet with the earth. . In walking meditation there is no destination. We walk in order to walk; we have already reached our destination; it is the here and now.The environment is ideal for people and it gives opportunities to develop self-esteem while giving an insight and experience of a rural way of life to benefit from being and working within a natural environment in the countryside.
