From tangykatt at earthlink.net Mon Oct 2 02:09:38 2006 From: tangykatt at earthlink.net (Kathryn Arizmendi) Date: Tue Oct 3 03:05:29 2006 Subject: Subject: Re: [Bohm_Dialogue] To Discuss In-Reply-To: <B5D60B2B-0144-4133-9008-C7F132A8BE32@donfactor.demon.co.uk> Message-ID: <C145D102.3475%tangykatt@earthlink.net> A twisted variation. Steiner came after Dalcroze and the word Eurhythmics was known all over Europe, America, Russia and up into Georgia. Dalcroze gave demonstrations everywhere. Hellerau was a result of the demonstrations. The system began in Geneva about 1900, moved to Dresden about 1902, left Germany because Dalcroze protested the war to the Kaiser, and returned to Geneva. Gurdjieff also formulated his system, especially his dances, after he connected with one of our first generation Dalcroze people, Jeanne Allemande Saltzman and her husband who did the lighting for Orpheus. Allemande became the head of the Gurdjieff work when Gurdjieff crossed over, and when JAS also crossed, Gurdjieff?s daughter by another Eurhythmician ? Jessmyn Howarth, became and is currently the head of that. The concepts of Eurhythmics are so embedded in the Gurdjieff dances, that when G presented them in Paris, the Dalcroze people picketed. Eurhythmics does not contain the enneagram. The offshoots and applications of Eurhythmics are myriad. The crossover into other areas are myriad. One you may know is the Orff Schulwerke for children. Gunther Keetman connected with Karl Orff, taught him everything she had learned about Dalcroze from Mary Wigman, a Hellerau Eurhythmician. The rest is history. The background is a book waiting for me to write it. Right now, this is the best I can do. The underlying purpose is to create a Humanistic society, integrating body, mind, and spirit, through musical experience that began with movement ? plastique animee, not dance. Music is everywhere. In Dalcroze?s view, everyone is creative. Not a new idea, or even a new approach. The content of the approach was unique. The musical movement training culminated in/was transferred into musical improvisation. You can make your own connections between that and life. One unified whole was the interweaving many forms of art culminating in the production of Orpheus at Hellerau. The very architecture of Hellerau was symbolic. Many, many connections. Hope this helps. k On 10/1/06 2:02 PM, "Don Factor" <donfactor@donfactor.demon.co.uk> wrote: > Further, does it have anything to do with Rudolf Steiner's Eurythmics.

Gesture and mime move. They become static only when the movement stops. Don?t forget, eurhythmics moves through space while utilizing all the other things. It?s based on movement in many different ways and of many different kinds and combinations, and for many different purposes. Things i haven?t begun to describe here. ?body sculpture? may be what somebody excerpted from it, but it is not Eurhythmics by any means. (From what you say, it bears little resemblance to it.) Not even as much as Eurhythmy or the Gurdjieff dances. Or the Ballet Russe that owes the production of Rites of Spring to a rhythmician named Marie Rambert, hired by Diagliev to help with the choreography, and assist particularly Nijinsky understand how to dance the ?weird? music. Or the choreography of ?My Fair Lady? and ?Camelot?, done by Hanya Holm, another first generation Eurhythmician. Actually, Geneva inserted something called Eutony (Gerda Alexander), which wasn?t part of the original, either. Eurhythmics has been subject to many ?operations?. That?s why I cautioned you that you most likely would not find the original concept in any one place anymore, and why I say I have books to write. And that?s why one has to experience it, not read about it in order to truly understand what it?s about. i guess my concern here is that you seem to have misunderstood Eurhythmics completely, based on my words, and/or your associations with them.

I asked the teacher a question after class was over. His answer? He grabbed a piece of chalk and in silence, with a smile on his face, drew a whole scene depicting the answer on the chalkboard. I didn't know what to look at first, and trying to grasp it in its entirety was bewildering. The word imagery is so detailed, that unspoken assumptions are more often than not, spoken. Most amazing is to see the weavers weave a rug and create the design as they go along. Improvisation at its most developed realization. In other words, they think in images, their world view is one of movement, and the language is built of movement and imagery. Can a non-native speaker learn it? Yes, with time, patience, encouragement, experience, and the right attitude.

The web is also a kind of organisation, not a "thing" exactly, but a series of connections of which we all have our own conceptual map, with those bit which we've explored, and those which might be unknown territory - or even those bits which we might think of as "Here be Dragons" on those old maps. I think one attraction of belonging to any organisation is a sense that you're plugging into something that will outlive you - in fact, that is one way of being immortal. Bateson talked about the "pattern that connects" and how our lives weave themselves into the fabric of our society - perhaps something like the "social memory" I mentioned a few days ago. They make a difference - or they don't - but (bringing it back to Dialogue) Bateson talked also about "the difference that makes a difference" - and, I think, this is also about the similarities we have - in terms of belonging to a group, and in terms of the quality of our dialogue. Wouldn't you want the people with whom you have been dialoguing to know you're dead? - Franis On Sun, 1 Oct 2006 13:04:18 +0100 Don Factor <donfactor@donfactor.demon.co.uk> writes: > Interesting question.

What I meant to convey was what you put so eloquently - that they are different as Eurythmy is dynamic. So I was really agreeing with this but my words were misleading. Yes, I have only scratched the surface of this and I'm really interested in what you've said about what's "behind" Eurhythm. I'm learning!! I don?t understand your association of gesture, and mime, with static pictures. Hi Kathy, The gesture and mime idea reminds me of something I've heard of called "body sculpture", where people create a static picture about (say) a set of relationships at work. But I'm very interested in the dynamic rather than the static. ********************** Do you love the violin? Browse our fabulous fiddles and incredible Incredibows in our online music shop.

You mentioned "taking yourself seriously", which really resonates for me, too. Are these words a bit about that? For me, your words so perfectly describe the "something invisible" that holds me back, sometimes, from joining in. In fact, I realise that all my music workshops, which are about "joining in" in one form or another, are probably about me exploring (with my groups) how I join in. PS Apologies to all on the list, I keep forgetting to delete my email signatures before sending. I'll try and remember. The words are great. I wish I could hear the melody, too.

An organisation still smacks of something mechanical, rigid, conservative. But a network is something else. Way back in the early sixties, I think it was, Bell Telephone opened its first digital phone exchange. According to Time Magazine, as the big wigs were being shown around the maze of wires, transistors and connections, somebody noticed a a tiny wire hanging loose somewhere up above their heads. The Bell people were shocked and set about trying to see what happened. On examination it seemed that this broken connection had no effect whatsoever on the working of the exchange. On further examination they found that the system - very complex - had simply by passed the broken link. No programmer was aware of having written that into the programme nor were they able to find where it said for it to behave in this way. This article really amazed me, and probably created a meme for me, about the power of networks and later, the internet. don On 2 Oct 2006, at 08:20, MarkHarmer@aol.com wrote: > I was thinking yesterday of all the stuff I've got on the web - an > online business, my harp playing - all scattered around various > servers somewhere.

It fills in a lot of blanks. And, it makes me think of Bohm's dialogue which began as a rather counterintuitive approach to understanding the nature of human thought and now, turns out to have exploded into hundreds of very different groups and companies - fragments, to my mind - mostly in the management consulting game, but also in education, religious groups, and just about every area where there is money to be made, or so it seems. Anyway, we here are a sort of hard-core still trying to do what Bohm was trying to do. in the meanwhile, I wonder if you have ever run across The Occult Establishment by James Webb, first published in 1976. Although, I couldn't find Eurhythmics in the index, nor Dalcroze, it covers a great deal of what was going on in the "alternative" world from the beginning of the 20th Century and might be useful for your own writing. don On 2 Oct 2006, at 01:09, Kathryn Arizmendi wrote: > A twisted variation.

I'm intrigued that an organisation is, to you, something mechanical, rigid, conservative - I wonder where that particular construction comes from. My image now is different. A while ago, my image was of something mobile, inside a shell. The shell hardens at times of power difference and protects the organisation. The "inside" bit was the webs of shifting connections, the "shell" represented the public face of the organisation, the shiny reception areas, the behaviours which are expected in meetings, etc. Now I think of an organisation as nothing more than a network, and for me the connections are the organisation, just as, indeed, in your phone exchange story, the network was still working despite the missing connections. I'd go further and say that in my practice, I'd want to work with whatever "is" (missing connections and all) rather than what's espoused, the public face of the organisations. In my experience, the public, espoused face of an organisation doesn't often have that much to do with what's going on "inside it", and I'm starting to think that there isn't really an "inside" and an "outside" to many organisations as we start to see the value of connections. Certainly, in running my online business, the most valuable things have come from seeing customers as part of our business - which they are! - rather than as a distinct group which lies "outside" our business. Some of our customers have pointed us at great products, and one customer (after we asked about ecologically sound packaging) sent us some tubes which would have been incinerated, and they work great for our violin bows. He gets a free product of his choice to recompense him for the shipping he pays when he sends the tubes. That's a fantastic example, I think, of where an organisation can connect outside of itself. i would say network rather than organisation. An organisation still smacks of something mechanical, rigid, conservative. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I guess we might think of the military. The quibble I have with that is that even the military recognises the power of the situational / contextual - so the strict command-and-control is only an idealistic model and it's still about people connecting with the changing circumstances they find themselves in. Any organisation, I'd say, which uses and adheres to a command-and-control, rigid hierarchy, mechanistic, conservative way of operating, wouldn't survive. Working like this would be the death of creativity, difference, growth, and an organisation that lives only to correct mistakes would never create the conditions in which novelty can arise and flourish. The ones that are still around, are around because of the connections and the dialogue they've had both internally and with their context. Now I think of an organisation as nothing more than a network -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

My attitude toward organisation really derives from Bohm's thinking. He argued that if you take a good idea and organise it, that limits further creativity because it is in a shell which contains its meaning. That's not to say that organisations are wrong, but one needs to be aware of the idea's implicit limits. One important idea that Bohm emphasised was that any word carries a set of meanings that are implicit - e.g. connotations - that derive from the culture and that act subtly, on their own, as tacit parts of the thought process. People like Peter Senge and Bill Isaccs, have done a lot with trying to open up organisations so that they can act more like networks. It sounds like you are doing this too. In any case, these are just distinctions that need to be made, but that also need to be made clear, so we can know what we are talking about. don On 2 Oct 2006, at 10:02, MarkHarmer@aol.com wrote: > Hi Don, > > I love the story about the Bell phone system. > > I'm intrigued that an organisation is, to you, something > mechanical, rigid, conservative - I wonder where that particular > construction comes from.

I think its a good one. I don't think Bohm used it. But he did have a lot to say about organisations. At one stage we wanted to create an organisation to be called Dialogue Associates that woud provide a central information point for those interested in the dialogue project. He was opposed to doing this for the sorts of reasons that I have mentioned, in spite of the fact that part our interest in doing it at that time was that it would have allowed a benefactor to provide him with a salary which would have been very helpful to him after his retirement. UK academic pensions are not noted for their generosity. Peter Senge, BTW, has done a lot of interesting work on the whole concept of organisation. Having taken in Bohm's view he has worked for a long while to develop ways of addressing and dealing with the issues raised.

Thought my words had somehow misled you. By the way, not ?Eurythmy? - ?Eurhythmics?. Eurhythmy is absolutely not the same thing! Eurhythmy is Rudolph Steiner, who borrowed a lot of Dalcroze, including the variation on the word ?Eurhythmics?, and came after Eurhythmics was established. Eurhythmics is Emile Jaques-Dalcroze. k On 10/2/06 3:24 AM, "MarkHarmer@aol.com" <MarkHarmer@aol.com> wrote: > HI K - sorry - I worded my email really awkwardly as I was having major > problems with the power going on and off yesterday and didn't want it to > disappear before I'd sent it.

I don?t know the book you mention, but you?re absolutely right about the ?alternative? world influence. That is an aspect of it that has been denied and suppressed in its history. When JD had to stay in Geneva, his colleagues began to set it on a course more in harmony with the prevailing cultural attitudes. I intend to bring out that aspect of its history. I appreciate your book recommendation. There are definite Theosophical connections to Hellerau, and I have been trying to piece together a kind of ?Occult Establishment? understanding. Yes, we are a sort of hard-core still trying to do what Bohm, and in my case ? the original Hellerau/Dalcroze people were trying to do. I think it?s amazing that Bohm and Dalcroze were on such complimentary paths, yet never knew each other. k On 10/2/06 5:00 AM, "Don Factor" <donfactor@donfactor.demon.co.uk> wrote: > Thanks for this.

I told Peter, my personal experiences were the nearest I came to knowing what I was talking about. Reading someone elses theories or visions takes me into a line of abstract assumptions. Its OK. But even if I understood the mechanics of a theory-- without considerable connection with that person, I would not know the context, the state of mind, meaning of the theory to that person. I only know what the theory means-- to me. So, back to first person experience. Although, sometimes glimpses and insights are possible that go beyond the norm. Obviously there is a foundation of memory associations that humans share in common -- more so in people from the same culture, country, community, family. But MEANING can be more unique than a common bond of associations. Depending on the nature/quality of a person, they can feel quite alone among their own people, and if lucky, inexplicably find someone from a completely different culture with whom they feel deep union. So sometimes I think we communicate, often by words, on a level of common memory associations -- and then occasionally we communicate on levels that are not so common. I think, at the level of meaning, each persons experience of reading words is unique. Most people seem numb to what is unique about themselves or other individuals. A sense of security tends to limit ones perspective to stay within a -common view -, even a rebel is only reacting to situations that exist by way of a common view. I am not knocking the idea, but to try and create a thing which can be seen differently by each viewer sounds to me like re-inventing the inevitable. _R . .

One of the joys is sometimes discovering new interepretations from old or shared experiences. I sometimes go and play folk music in a pub session. Often the tunes have existed for hundreds of years, but each time we play them they're difference. Our group in our pub also plays them slightly differently from other groups. At one level, this makes no sense to people: why would we endlessly replay old music that's not "commercial"? Part of it is for the joy of connection, and part of it is the joy of insights that come from a new member of the group who introduces a new harmony or rhythm..
