SUMMARY:Exhibition:  The Color of Energy — Recent Paintings by Janet Morgan
DESCRIPTION:CRS presents “The Color of Energy — Recent Paintings by Janet Morgan. The exhibition will open on March 10\, 2018 and will be on view until May 8\, 2018. There will be an Opening Reception with the artist on March 10 from 6 – 8 pm. \nARTIST STATEMENT \nWe think of our bodies as solid\, enclosed\, finite\, self sufficient\, contained. But we share many things\, visible and not\, with the world around us. We share energy of all kinds with other beings\, plants\, machines\, nature and the cosmos. We take for granted our life partner — our physical being — who makes life possible and carries us through this world for decades and sometimes for a century. We move not through the world but as part of it\, sharing breath\, resources\, spirit and life energy. \nMy artwork is grounded in the body\, the kinesthetic: movement\, music\, and dance — and in the body’s subtle forces — emotional\, spiritual and healing energies. The quest for the underlying energy source runs through all of my work — like the Sufis I find no separation between the divine and the body. And why is this work be important? We live in a time of much anger and violence\, and communication is often disembodied. The disconnect between ourselves and the natural world is causing serious problems. We need to come home to our bodies\, our animal-ness\, our human-ness\, our body-temples. \nMy artistic practice covers a vast range of work\, mainly painting and drawing\, but also community environmental art and collaboration. The art includes landscapes painted all over the world\, and a few large series of works grounded in the body: 200 large watercolors of traditional and new deities (I teach a workshop on making your own deities)\, wild women\, dancers and now art about the body’s energy. I have enjoyed collaborations with dancers\, scientists\, movement teachers\, and writers. I have taught at the Rubin Museum of Art\, The Chapel of Sacred Mirrors\, the Art Students League and the Canyons of Utah. \nhttp://www.janetmorgan-art.net \n

SUMMARY:Intro to The Spiritual Psychology of Acting with John Osborne Hughes
DESCRIPTION:CRS is delighted to welcome back renowned British acting teacher and director John Osborne Hughes for a fabulously entertaining introductory three day workshop in cutting edge actor training for mind\, body\, and soul. John is an extremely charismatic and compassionate soul who can teach you precisely what acting is and\, more importantly\, teach you to get out of your own way so that you\, too\, can perform with complete conviction\, integrity\, and charisma. \nFriday\, April 13 from  6.30 – 9.30 pm\nSaturday\, April 14th from 11 am – 5.45 pm\nSunday\, April 15  from 11 am – 5.45 pm \nWorkshop fee: $390 \nSPECIAL OFFER\nFrom now until Midnight on Sunday\, March\, 18 you will be able to purchase your place for the workshop for the special discounted price of $340. \nReserve you place now with a $195 deposit and pay the discounted balance on the first day. \nThe training is designed to create actors of the highest calibre; a delight to work with and ultimately an inspiration to watch. \nSimple meditation and practical exercises will be introduced to each student to assimilate the basic techniques. \nWARNING\nTHIS WORKSHOP WILL EXPAND YOUR MIND AND FREE YOUR SPIRIT! \nThe philosophy\, principles and techniques of the art acting for newcomers and professionals seeking something more… \nThe Spiritual Psychology of Acting is a unique fusion of the teachings of the great Russian stage directors of the 20th Century\, cutting edge Psychology and Spiritual Philosophy from both East and West. \nDuring the workshop you will learn: \n+ The Three main purposes of Theatre/ Cinematic Art.\n+ The principles of Great Acting.\n+ The Qualities of a Great Actor.\n+ Four Key Questions for designing a Character\n+ Mind Triads: The three essential elements of the Characters psyche.\n+ How to develop Awareness (the ability to observe our own thoughts)\, in order to dissolve creative blocks and gather material out of which we can create unique characters.\n+ The secrets of Charisma and Stage/Screen Presence. How to develop them.\n+ The psychology of casting. How to prepare for auditions like a pro.\n+ The Principles of Zen and the Art of Acting.\n+ Imagination and the actor \nTo really understand the essence of pure acting technique and the process of creating characters\,  the actor must first understand the psychological process which created his or her own character in life. Once we truly understand how these natural principles have created and shaped our own characters\, we can learn to harness this knowledge\, engage it at will and allow it to serve as our creative technique. \nThis rewarding and fascinating process not only creates truthful\, dynamic acting\, it also serves to to heal the actor of his or her own psychological limits and burdens\, thus providing the freedom of imagination to create any character. \nThe training is designed to create actors of the highest calibre; a delight to work with and ultimately an inspiration to watch. \nSimple meditation and practical exercises will be introduced to each student to assimilate the basic techniques. \n About John Osborne Hughes \nJohn began his training as an Actor on the Hampshire County Specialist Speech and Drama Course\, where he was awarded a special commendation for best actor. He then trained for a another three years at The Academy of Live and Recorded Arts in London\, and then for a further two years as a Stage Director with teacher Sam Kogan\, in Association with The Moscow Institute of Theatre Arts. \nAfter graduation he worked as an actor and stage director. Productions included the British Premiere of William Mastrosimones\, ‘Cat’s Paw‘\,  ‘Ecstasy‘ by Mike Leigh\, which met with critical acclaim; Time Out’s Critic’s Choice and What’s On saying it was “Quite simply the best ensemble acting seen on the West End stage in years“. \nInspired by this\, he then developed his own company\, Miracle Tree Productions\, for which he wrote\, directed and performed in the hugely successful\, “Beyond Ecstasy”. The show enjoyed sell out runs in both London and Edinburgh\, was Time Out’s and The Guardian’scritic’s choice and won the Creative Freedom Award for best theatrical production. \nIn response to requests from friends and colleagues\, he then launched a training department for Miracle Tree Production and began teaching regular classes and workshops in acting technique and the principles of dramatic art . Grounded by his background in the System of Stanislavski\, he began an in-depth study of the laws of Psychology and Human Zoology\, and endeavoured to explore their application within the context of the art of acting. \nThe system that evolved was then further enriched by the study of Mythology and Philosophy\, in particular the Advaita Vedanta wisdom teaching from the Himalayas\, through which he was introduced to the practice of meditation. This proved to be the master key in helping the actor to develop charisma and stage presence and it was at this point that The Spiritual Psychology Of Acting was born. \nJohn has taught extensively in London\, New York and Los Angeles. He has trained some of the U.K.s brightest actors who have gone on to work in Hollywood\, International feature films\, T.V.\, Royal Shakespeare Company and Royal National Theatre. John’s approach to acting is considered by many to be the cutting edge of actor training available in the world today. \n

SUMMARY:CRS Healing Circle:  Prayer\, Sound Meditation + Whirling
DESCRIPTION:CRS invites you to join us for our monthly healing circle (see Japanese announcement below). We gather to meditate\, drum\, sing\, dance\, pray and remember the divine strength within ourselves. This month we welcome Sufi dance artist Rana Gorgani\, founder of “l’Oeil Persan” – The Persian Eye – the first company in Europe devoted to Persian dance\, into our circle to lead us further.\nhttp://www.ranagorgani.com/ \nRana will lead a Sufi community event at CRS on Tuesday\, April 17 at 8 pm. The event is free and donations are welcome at the door. \nWe also support the family of Kenji and Sayoko Williams’ five-year-old daughter\, Amara\, who is growing up with a brain tumor and all the challenges that presents. Our minds will join with Amara’s prayer circle of hundreds of people around the world. \nPlease feel free to bring your frame drum\, rattle\, flute\, whistle\, chimes\, singing bowl\, or other instrument. You don’t need to be experienced. Together\, we will learn to listen to one another and express ourselves and find Oneness of intention. We will begin promptly at 7:30 pm so please arrive by 7:15 pm if you can. \nThe participation fee is $20 with advanced registration and $25 on April 19. \nThrough whirling\, we learn to trust ourselves to go off balance\, to be dizzy\, to surrender control as we give ourselves over to prayer and connect with a greater power\, the still center within\, around which we turn\, that we may share our divine strength and bear witness to the divinity in others. \nAt 4:33am EST this morning of 4/19 our friend the artist Kimi-Tea TsukaDa\, who painted the dervishes shown here\, passed at her home in Los Angeles. In a telephone conversation with Yasuko Kasaki several days ago\, Kimi said that the many people who had to live with pain in the past had come into her awareness and she had told them that she was now living\, accepting\, enduring for them. Her beautiful\, loving mind has uplifted her many friends around the world\, and we will include her in our prayer tonight at 9:30 pm EST during our Healing Circle. Please join us with your mind wherever you are if you are unable to attend in person. The prayer will be led by Yasuko with crystal singing bowl performance by Miyoko Satoh. \nIf you are quiet and in a state of prayer when you Turn\, offering everything of yourself to God\, then when your body is spinning\, there is a completely still point in the center… The heavens respond; and all the invisible kingdoms join in the dance. But the world does not understand. They think we Turn in order to go into some sort of trance. It is true that sometimes we do go into that state you call ecstasy\, but that is only when we know and experience at the same time. We do not Turn for ourselves. We turn around in the way we do so that the Light of God may descend upon the earth. As you act as a conduit in the Turn\, the light comes through the right hand\, and the left hand brings it into this world… We turn for God and for the world\, and it is the most beautiful thing you can imagine. — Mevlevi Shaikh Suleyman Hyatt Dede \nAbout Lale Sayoko \nLale was one of the founding members of Japan’s famous Samanyolu professional bellydance group\, and has since developed her own solo career touring with UK’s Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers on a 44 city tour of the UK\, to Turkey’s Baba Zula\, to New York’s Bella Gaia multimedia Earth from Space journey show. Appearing in Japanese and American magazines and newspapers\, Lale aspires for dance to be a powerful communicator though traditional technique and spiritual embodiment. She has lately been studying Sufi dance with Rana Gorgani.\nhttp://www.lalesayoko.com \nAbout Rana Gorgani \n‘Neither from the East nor from the West’\, Rana Gorgani was born in Germany to an Iranian mother and a Kurdish father. She subsequently grew up in France\, where she still lives today. \nFascinated from an early age by the Persian culture\, Rana was fortunate to grow up in a family very present in the Arts where music and poetry were a constant fixture in her household. \nWhile traveling in Iran\, she was introduced to the Daf instrument\, a large Persian frame drum\, and pursued learning this sacred percussion for the Kurdish Sufi rituals. \nInstinctively\, she became familiar with this spirituality that sounded like an inspiration and reflection of her artistic work. Finally\, at the age of 24\, Rana dedicated herself entirely to dance. \nAfter several years of learning and travelling in and around Iran\, Rana mastered the Iranian dances and the dances of its neighbours. \nIn 2009\, she founded the company “l’Oeil Persan” – The Persian Eye – the first company lead by traditional dances of the Persian world in Europe. \nFurthering her knowledge of dance\, she obtained a Master degree in Anthropology of Dance at the University of Clermont-Ferrand (France)\, and is pursuing research within the Qashqa’i people\, one of the many nomadic tribes of Iran. \nhttp://www.ranagorgani.com/

SUMMARY:Exhibition:  The Color of Energy — Recent Paintings by Janet Morgan
DESCRIPTION:CRS presents “The Color of Energy — Recent Paintings by Janet Morgan. The exhibition will open on March 10\, 2018 and will be on view until May 8\, 2018. There will be an Opening Reception with the artist on March 10 from 6 – 8 pm. \nARTIST STATEMENT \nWe think of our bodies as solid\, enclosed\, finite\, self sufficient\, contained. But we share many things\, visible and not\, with the world around us. We share energy of all kinds with other beings\, plants\, machines\, nature and the cosmos. We take for granted our life partner — our physical being — who makes life possible and carries us through this world for decades and sometimes for a century. We move not through the world but as part of it\, sharing breath\, resources\, spirit and life energy. \nMy artwork is grounded in the body\, the kinesthetic: movement\, music\, and dance — and in the body’s subtle forces — emotional\, spiritual and healing energies. The quest for the underlying energy source runs through all of my work — like the Sufis I find no separation between the divine and the body. And why is this work be important? We live in a time of much anger and violence\, and communication is often disembodied. The disconnect between ourselves and the natural world is causing serious problems. We need to come home to our bodies\, our animal-ness\, our human-ness\, our body-temples. \nMy artistic practice covers a vast range of work\, mainly painting and drawing\, but also community environmental art and collaboration. The art includes landscapes painted all over the world\, and a few large series of works grounded in the body: 200 large watercolors of traditional and new deities (I teach a workshop on making your own deities)\, wild women\, dancers and now art about the body’s energy. I have enjoyed collaborations with dancers\, scientists\, movement teachers\, and writers. I have taught at the Rubin Museum of Art\, The Chapel of Sacred Mirrors\, the Art Students League and the Canyons of Utah. \nhttp://www.janetmorgan-art.net \n
