During the two weeks at CCCC I will meet professionals in Cultural Mediation, meet students at Master Permea for Experimental Mediation and Education through Arts and I will facilitate sessions open to the public. The invitations are inspired by the RSVP Cycles (1969) designed by Anna and Lawrence Halprin, choreographer and landscape architect respectively. The system, designed for the communication of common actions, offers tools to articulate the collective creative process. Step by step, impressions are translated and communicated through symbols, either verbal or graphic. In this way, we become synthesizers of an expanded perception, generating interventions and thus transforming both the space and our way of inhabiting it.

The mechanism for amplifying contemplative pleasure are the “scores”: open-ended prompts that create constructive constrictions, encourage divergent thinking, and invite us to play with conventions and train the muscle of choice. It is a game, and the scores are the rules to which we commit ourselves with self-discipline to perform it alone and in complicity with others; it has a distinctly exploratory quality to form new knowledge about self, others, space, our relationships, and the subject at hand.
