Hello Gwen Is the festival in Texas, what are the dates? My area is theatre and developing speaking and listening skills/communication as a way of improving behaviour and life experience and creating citizenship communities in education, prisons etc. I've worked in the US on plays linked to sustainability in the 70's.Linkedthen mostly to womens ideas about saving the planet.

Hello Gwen, Fabulous idea as a person who is both an artist (poet and musician) and a Sustainability professional, I have been thinking a lot about this and have experimented around the subject. My writing and my performing are deeply related to my interest for Sustainability and it's philosophical implications. Namely the relation between humans and nature and the importance of spirituality and intuition in dealing with complexity. I find that art is a powerful medium to express ideas that can only be incompletely represented through a rational discourse. It allows to reach people at a deeper more fondamental level. There, an intimate conviction can be stirred, reach consciousness and result into action. At the same time this reflection brings us to the core of what is art and what is its social role. This encompasses its utilitarian or political functions as well as a way to reach deeper levels of consciousness and maybe even connect to a global consciousness. Anyhow, I do not recall when the burningman festival will occur and it may be difficult for me to get to it (I am living in France right now and I believe it takes place in Texas right?). However, I would be happy to participate in your project. For instance I still have some connections in Toronto which may be of use. All the best, Jean-François -- __________________________ Jean-François Gouin Consultant Durabilité - Sustainability Consultant MUSE - Building Horizons / Constructeur d'Horizons [email protected] Tel: (+ 33) (0)4 91 73 36 93 Mobile: (+33) (0)6 81 17 56 97 35Bis Boulevard Alexandre Delabre 13008 Marseille - France * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected]: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
