Pam's writing in response to Embodied Space in light collaboration with Peter Freeman

After Pete's talk - wonderful and the sharing/showing ..many people left and the rest of us sat round to chat... all the artists and some of the audience.

I always learn so much listening to others, this time we chatted and then Colin suggested we heard everyone's input, in the midst of artists feedback we were all 'blown away/over awed' by Pam's analysis and perception of her journey watching it....

Rose mentions the 3 elements which has sparked off a lot of learning for me and

Pam created this on the way home from Sculpting with Light event....

                                      The Singer and the Song

I am the Singer I heard the Song

First

In a magical space where there was no right or wrong

Where I was welcome and felt part of it all

I felt you call I felt you call

Not with words

There was no need

My inner ear heard and paid it heed

Quietly and slowly, no need for speed.

I felt free to just Be 

Me

Time to look 

Time to see

To listen to hear

To feel

To absorb

To learn and heal

You are the Singer You are the Song

You are the Song You sing for Us All

You give your heart You give your All

That must be right It can't be wrong.

I now am the Singer

I now am the Song

and then sent this to me after being asked to write it down from the artists involved....

                                          Walking into the Light - Reflections

Act 1 - Entering

There's a place I now know where I went to a Show

In Redruth not far from the shops

It is quite near yet set apart 

where special people transform Lives 

Through Art

In a quiet side street there is a white door with a single banner

No more to indicate what treasure lies within

You enter to see -

bare walls and floor

Tables and chairs, hooks for coats - not much more behind that door.

The makings for tea and coffee to drink

Nothing special here you may think.

Then people arrive and bring in their Light

The blinds are drawn, day turns into night

Artists and Dancers gather there

Getting ready to share

A Performance. 

Talk Wisdom Discovery Insight into the Power of Talking Light

We are the Audience, they are the Players until they strip away the layers which lie between,invite us to join them into their dream.

I notice tubes in rainbow hues upon a wall and that's not all

Upon the bareness of the floor are cubes and tubes, a shining dish and computer screen

What is to come remains unseen

Act 2 - Anticipation and the Performance begins

Then we saw sculptures and buildings transformed by light which changes as people move and breathe

I found it difficult to believe.

I'd never seen the like before

but

There was so much more

Oh so much more

And then ...

The scene changed again

Act 3 - When Performance became Experience

All was transformed as those white walls were bathed in light to become blue green pink 

hints of flickering flame

Then back to white again.

Next was a Story with many themes

No, I'd never seen it before except in my dreams

and yet

I remembered it again as it ebbed and flowed

went and came

Rising Falling like a flame

It touched me to my very core

My Spirit sang 

Set free to soar.

And there was more ...

Music began

The Dancers began to fill the empty space

The room became a stage

Amazement showed, glowed, on every face

As they began to dance, leap, prance, twirl, swirl, open from a foetal curl

Drew together then apart

They entranced us with their Art

I saw a timeless story told which needed no words to help it unfold

From simple single cell to sentient beings

No need for speech to make themselves heard.

The Light became alive as it played its own part.

I saw more things than were actually 'Real -

I heard singing where there were none

I smelt fear

tasted the sweet essence of Joy

felt the awe of awakening minds as faces turned towards the Light

Dawn breaking Rainbow glows Wonder shows

I saw the thoughts shining there as they became Aware

Thought made them care, want to share

Act 4 - Revelation

Audience and Players merged as energy surged

In my heart the boundaries dissolved between us

No You No Me No Them 

Just Us

Together

United again

I walked in a Fourth Dimension into our Intuitive Mind

No longer anything to bind

No longer blind to that Loving Light

A magical refrain filled my empty heart

Now I feel I can play my part

Not alone but a part of a Whole

Body Mind and Soul

Finale - Every End is a new Beginning

The Show ended but the curtain didn't fall

I never knew that such a thing could be

Thank You All for Bringing Hope to Me.

i forwarded it to our patron Robert Fripp and...

"wonderful! ......

perhaps it is something of a challenge for us to hold Hope;

in front of the visible challenges of our suffering world;

in the Faith that what is real and available to us;

is on the job - and counting on us to be available as well?"

all this brings XR to mind and the times we need to be responsive to...
