Project Open Sensitive

The singer Lyudmila Pehovskaya , singer of Russian and Gypsy, the owner of vocal variety studios and art galleries in Warsaw, asked me to come up with the idea of development of its projects. Sometimes, to advance the project, you need to go beyond it. Offer a logical step: in addition to the studio for singers and gallery for artists to create a service for listeners and viewers.

'I do not understand music, you do not understand music, we do not understand the music ... "

Any service can be sold only when filling a certain void in this world. I know a lot of people (and myself in this list put in the first place ) Who can not enjoy art. And would not mind to learn.

Alas, the formation of modern man is built on the assimilation of descriptions, rather than immersion in the spirit of the subject. We all carry cultural baggage behind feasible gravity conduct for internet services lists of books read, watched movies, plays, listening to concerts and willingly give out evaluation work of art: "like / dislike", "1, 2, 3, 4, 5 stars. The problem is that, when confronted with the world or common masterpieces of obscure genres of us - when faced with the chance to discover something truly new in this world - we have no-thing is not sensi-stvu rd.

Then everyone - its Achilles heel. Perhaps you - a great bookish fellow, but when you once again lead by the hand for the premiere of the opera or operetta, you have a painful spiritual longing, as if in an endless queue for sausages in 1981. And he could not understand: whether the genre is so out of date - whether you have some important body has not evolved.

Perhaps you - sinemafil exceptional sensitivity. However, a subtle understanding of cinematic language does not help you find a common language with his own son who is obsessed with rock music or jazz.

Perhaps you - deep knowledge of art song. But internally suffer from the fact that all attempts to get the pleasure of communicating with the masterpieces of painting and sculpture leave you cold as marble. And not a smile of Mona Lisa mystery for you, and centuries-old interest in her fans.

Man - whole being. And if he is insensitive to individual arts - that is insensitive to individual life situations. Do you know how to enjoy the bouquet of wine - or just relax? Do you know how to communicate with nature - or simply rubbing the bone between the collection of firewood and cooking kebabs? To be able to if you have sex with the head given - or has faithfully fulfilled the conjugal duty? Do you know how to extract from it any food taste a symphony - or just calories?

Say, for what you're rushing through life with the disabled for 90% feelings? Why does a deaf souls most interesting, tasty, bright, fragrant, harmonious? Maybe you elected to save the world or open contemporaries meaning of life? I hope so, otherwise your sacrifices - not justified.

The task is not to get "excellent" on the exam in art history. The stakes are much higher: either you were serving a room in a strange spectacle - either live a full life.

Principles of "Schools of feelings"

"School of feelings" - the working title of the project. Its mission - educating people to practice intensive sensory perception of different forms of art and aspects of life (ie the project should not be limited to music and painting: after all, people - whole creature!).

To arouse the perception of people do not need to load its theory and history of arts (such information can only play a supporting role). The most important thing - to help him turn a new sensation in their emotional experience (after all we remember, appreciate and understand the smells, sounds, colors associated with their loved ones, friends, unusual situations, etc.). Therefore, the optimal form of the school - the collective psychological training.

Team members shall be seated in a circle, listen to music snippets, writing tasting, feeling the texture of different materials, etc. Share experiences. Is compared perception. Play out everyday situations. Share experiences. Suggest to each other new points of view on the subject, new ways to enjoy the seemingly long-known things.

The role of the psychologist, an art school - guide and no more. He invited members of the group about the next class, helps them to be liberated, to start a conversation. And then - a group working herself. Only on request supervisor will adjust the course of the session, throw valuable information from the same history and theory of art, put out the looming conflict (or enter them in a controlled, constructive manner).

Experience shows that different groups of psychological support, after some time the team will be for each other friends - special friends (people helping each other grow), and their meeting - will gain a special significance (the significance of time and place at which a person becomes a "fluid" and an opportunity to change). And after a while start sequence discovery: "My God, how delicious! I do not know what to slice cheese could be so delicious! "Or" Hey, today I dreamed that I could see what color the sound - just like Scriabin, "or" Today I was going to walk you through the park and heard every leaf rustling. At this point, though, opened itself again. And you know, I - beautiful! "When I am exaggerating, let professional psychologists correct me.

A very important role in the classroom, schools can play a vocal studio audience and the artists who find in an art gallery. For live, "interactive" voice - always better than a tape recorder, but a real painting, sculpture, you can touch, with the author where you can talk to - always better reproduction. By the way, participated in exercises "Schools feelings" will be a unique and very effective training for themselves singers and artists. Here's to you - this "resistance of the material, there are people who do not understand your art. Try to get through them, to find common language with them - and you will gather forces halls.

The big question: how to advertise the services of the school. There are two dangers: "broke off" and "negotiations". If you're too vaguely and drown his proposal pathos words: that, for centuries the art awakened the best strings of human souls, etc. - Then no one will understand what changes in his life promise to school. If you go to a frontal attack: do we all - the victim of the Soviet past, turned into unfeeling cogs, etc. - That this "truth" alienate potential customers.

I recommend to go "promotional trail of companies that develop adventure tourism. Offer your customers a real adventure, the discovery of the world and yourself - and you can not fool them. Tell them: "We are together let's give our lives, the lives of ordinary citizens, in bright colors, together, we learn to control his perception of the world - which is sometimes more important than the ability to manage the world" - and this proposal would be and honest, realistic and attractive.

From school - the community

If the organizers of the school built its work competently and not to make blunders, it is almost certainly many graduates will want to maintain communication among themselves. It is even possible - join the club (as often happens with academic teams, whose members actually helped the personal growth of each other). A club will be able to collaborate with the studio singing and art galleries - which are supposed to have been not a bad idea to add a concert agency. For example, the club can discuss and offer interesting touring poster and advertise it by word of mouth, and the agency - to pay rent for the premises of the club and sponsor creative action by its members on the city's celebrations.

Moreover, if successful coincidence of circumstances philosophy schools could go beyond it and begin to live an independent life, to give impetus to the emergence of a new subculture. First media and which will be graduates. Chance this is: proposed philosophy is quite simple and at the same time voluminous to collect critical number of supporters.

Our sensuality - this goal, and the path, and the criterion. If the colors, smells and sounds of this world become brighter for you, bring you more joy - then you are living right. If on the contrary - you are deviating from the path intended for you. Maybe you need to give up something or take something new, to re-start living a full life and take from it everything that it gives.

No illusions that this article would create a new subculture (at best - will help a specific reader, who was in need of such thoughts). This impulse can only give practical affairs and practitioners. For example, such a push can give you, Ludmila - unless, of course, want this, you will find like-minded people and will be able in practice to help the personal growth of people who come to your school.

Two words about the proposed name of subcultural movement: Open Sensitive. As is known, increased sensitiveness means greater a person's ability to feel, to distinguish and respond to external stimuli. But this is often accompanied by an equally high level of anxiety, fear of new situations. On the contrary, "open sensitiveness" implies a joyful willingness to meet with the new, which will help you discover yourself. It is also the name of associatively connected with Open Source - the movement of open-source software. Anyone will be similar philosophy Open Sensitive, can take the part, which will help him develop, and the right to edit, add and promote this philosophy by enriching it with their sensual and intellectual experience.

It seems that now I, as an honest man, is obliged to "marry": to offer a holistic view of what it means to be "Open Air sensitives". Other representatives of this movement from the outset will be confused with other subcultures (eg, emo, or even the ancient epicureans).
