We are continuing the series of conversations with Antero Alli on an experiential medium called ParaTheatre. To have a better understanding of the context, and for the introduction of the speakers, please refer to the first talk in the series.
In this episode, we touch upon the following topics:
- ParaTheatre – how to start
- Qualities needed for this work
- Flexibility of ego
- Ego as a self-image. Fixed ego is an attempt to preserve this self-image. Flexible ego is the ability to be at home with both self-image and its opposite.
- Polarization technique as a way to support flexible ego
- Flexible ego is the same as a strong ego; as opposed to big ego.
- On thinking before acting
- Existing conditions
- Dealing with things that come up
- Antero’s example – escaing INTO reality, instead of away from it
- Keeping a journal
- Talking with our bodies
- We are continually sending signals
- Becoming more conscious of these signals, and allowing their expression without the constant need to evaluate the appropriateness of your actions, as you would in a typical social context
- Exploration of unfamiliar; creativity
- Codification project
- (Not) Mythologizing Archetypes
- No-form – nothing special
- No-form “conversion” period
- ParaTheatre from books
- Finding a language
- And how weird it may look for an uninitiated observer
