"The Art of Connection" by Angeliki Voulgari
The main aim is to introduce in a deeper way our methodology to the partners in order to be able to adapt it to their art (dance/sound/painting) in a practical way. The whole approach is addressing to human beings and the skills/virtues/inner qualities which are contributing to create “connection experiences”. We don't separate people in those who need help and in those who give help, so through the basic 4 skills (empathy/expression ability/our ability to step on our vulnerable part and generosity), we address in the core of the human nature. So we suggest training on these qualities to everybody, also in people in difficult health circumstances an order to “retuned” and cocreate artistically in a equal way , in a way that there are no disabilities but different characteristics.
Theory of the main principles that the human being is consists (body/soul/spirit).
Where these skills are based inside every human(according to the principles).
Ways that all beings interact and connect (speech, voice,body,eyes,voice,touch, ect).
Exercises based on senses awareness and each in skill.
Duration: 30 min
The aim of the activity is to develop the skill of generosity within us. We all want to be seen and expect others to “make” us visible, by spending their precious time with us and being present with all their senses by being emotionally available. Seeing our true selves (spirits), and not our superficial shapes and the possible normality of our bodies. We connect through what we are, not from our intellect. This exercise creates intimacy and regenerates the current of energy and hope within us.
Step 1: Form pairs. It is best to pair up with people you don’t know. Assign the roles of the “observer” and the “human being”. The observer looks into the human being's eyes for 3 minutes. Then they express the "beauty"(*) they can SEE. In the body in front of you. In the soul in front of you. In the spirit in front of you.
Step 2: Chance roles and repeat the procedure.
Duration: 30 minutes
Reflecting procedure: 10 minutes
Important notice: Each couple attempts to “acknowledge” the other by activating a deeper vision which is able to see beyond the images.
(*) In this exercise we use the word beauty with the ancient Greek meaning of "ωραίος" meaning “the one who is on time". We can say the one who is at the right time, in the right body, with the right shape, in the right place etc. A place where nothing needs to or can be improved. A place, where the spirit has been expressed in its unique and unrepeatable way.
