Hello Space List! :-)
We have organised an Ost event in İstanbul last Saturday,
It was on Youth, Businesslife and Transformation and took place at
İstanbul Bilgi University.
It was a part of a youth festival which gathered communities with a sense of
joy and responsibility.
The one day event started with a music and dance performance, a dancer and a
musician met for the first time and improvised . This was like a market
place of 2 people. People who watched them could attend the performance
after a while. The dancer helped people to do some exercises which were
funny and relaxing. The dance was a bit like Tetsuro Fukuharas Space
dance.. . I dont know if Fukuhara was ever discussed at this list. In 2002
i met him in Istanbul when I was directing a culture and art programme at a
tv channel, I interviewed with him and attended to his workshops . I can
say, what he is into is really Open Space - Making Peace with the space
with dance!
This is the second time we organise an OST event this way, and the result is
really interesting. I want to share that most of the people found it very
useful, before the discussions, making peace with the space, and their
bodies relaxed them and they enjoyed a lot. Today an attendant told me that
it was the first time for her to express all that she wanted in a meeting
and told that after the event she couldnt sleep all night. She said i
wanted to dance all night, i was very creative and talkative, now the people
wish to see me like that all the time.
I also participated the dance. After the whole event, we were very tired, i
came home and thought that i would just sleep, but i watched Tv, done some
work, and i was like i haven't done anything. (Coincidentally or not, when i
came home i watched Nadia Komanachis documentary about gymnastics, a
documentary on 50ies Sports life in Spain, and a part of the movie
Solaris of Tarkovsky. :-)))))
After dance, people discussed about these.. we guess dance inspires a lot.
a summary...
Free Body, Free mind. Being in our body at business.
New styles at business. The firms who let their workers do nothing for
some hours
What makes us want to sleep more
The eating disorders
The global village
The system, the way we look at the what we call as systems,
transformation of our way of look
The main problem as production . Are we crazy about producing
The artistic and intellectual production
The movie the Sunny Mondays
Our only job is living! Why do we live to work?
Post modernism
New styles at businesslife. Would the new styles become a controlling
mechanism after a while.
The technological improvements and the decrease of our body performance.
Why are we responsible to know more than our main branch of interest.
What happened when the Marxist movement couldn't get the result.
Bohemia, tramps..
Paris passage issue. The production being exhibited. Fashion and
business.
The supermarket scenes. The movies of natural disasters.
The advertisement that want us to believe we choose
The need for relationship
The jobs that are peaceful
The global village
Cultures of peace
The negative sides of Andersen's tales
The 50s, the health
Open Space Technology
You can have a look at some of the photos of the first Ost event we did this
way, with kadikoyweb, an internet company. It was after a short movie
festival. The first part of the event took part at the movie theather,
after watching the movies people watched a dance performance, and they were
called to participate the dancer and go for some exercises to open their
senses. It was a very productive ost event and some people who hated
eachother before communicated like old friends :-)
