Workshop Conference

24th to 28th July 2010

Rudolf Steiner

Mystery Drama Plays

(Simultaneous reading in English and French)

29th July to 1st August 2010

Dear friends!

This summer you have the opportunity to experience the Mystery Dramas of Rudolf Steiner as they will be explored through a modern and personal interpretation. Those involved are hoping to share an experience of the karma consciousness that arises out of working with the Dramas. During the four days preceding the summer performances, actors, philosopher’s, artists, the young, the old and all those interested in the mysteries, will join together to study the Dramas as they relate to each one’s life in a personal and unique way. 

Each day we will consider how a different biographical theme from the Dramas is carried through the characters and scenes. From this ground we will seek to discover the relevance of these themes in our own lives by working with the questions such as:

  • How do the themes in the Dramas speak to my particular journey through life, in the past and in the daily moment, as a new mystery experience?
     
  • Through what process do I observe such themes in my daily life? How am I uniquely becoming conscious of them?

  • Can I develop this process so that it becomes a free and loving path of inner development and transformation?

 

The conference will be in German and English!

Experience the Mystery Dramas

The Mystery Dramas by Rudolf Steiner offer a picture of the modern path of initiation through conscious perception of higher worlds. What once belonged to the secret Mystery Temples now stands forth, accessible to all. The images given through the lives of the characters build a deep understanding of the human being and his relationship to the world. Through earnest and personal participation in the experiences of the characters, we can come to an awareness of the spiritual forces that we meet on our own path through life. This can become a creative artistic experience of life as the modern path of initiation.

The heart that is awakening to its own spiritual path will find, in Rudolf Steiner’s Mystery Dramas, an image of its own becoming through the pulse of modern spiritual development.

Throughout the conference, we will experience:

  • Plenums with the director and actors on the themes
  • A shared searching for the common questions that arise
  • Small personal discussions groups
  • Scene fragments performed around the Goetheanum
  • Special interest workshops on related topics
  • Open space to relax or share personal initiatives
  • Evening night café’s for social and artistic sharing
