Many have experienced loss. The text you hear are by two esteemed Korean poets - Kim Hyesoon and Kang Eun-Gyo. Primarily the words are directly from Kim Hyesoon’s <i>Face of Rhythm</i>.

I’d do this again and again until I memorized all of them. Once you repeat the same word over and over, there comes a time when its meaning fades. Then at some point, letters go beyond letters, and words beyond words. They start to sound like a meaningless, alien language. That’s when I actually feel those incomprehensible words like “love” or “eternity” start speaking to me. I told Mom about this fun game.<p></p>

The abandoned <i>Paridegi </i>is raised by cranes, magpies, turtles, good-deed granny and grandpa, sea dragon god, mountain god, buddha, etc. There is even a version of the text that says that her parents took her back to raise her and were abusive to her. Anyway, <i>Paridegi </i>grows up thinking that she is an orphan. The place in which <i>Paridegi </i>is abandoned is an unreal space, and all those who raise her are unreal characters.

From this standpoint, processes of becoming, in which we undergo continuous small deaths, can put us in the path of a more impersonal more sober relation to our own death. if we are successful at confronting and sustaining their intensity, processes of becoming can soften the rigidity of our selves, weaken our grasp of permanent realities and identities, and mitigate our fears and anxieties toward change. In fulfilling the immanence of death to life - offering us rudimentary but real instances of the experience of death-in-life - processes of becoming help us accept the idea of life continuing beyond 'me'.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";

<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">1. Texts by Yi Sang & W.B. Yeats are used as fragments and placed throughout the action in divergent and different contexts</p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 16px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">2. Wild’s actions are blotted in places with incomprehension.</p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: right;">Where the dream grows she kept only to herself, </p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: right;">Her dry lips, a soft joy, the deep white path, </p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: right;">She will love more than herself —</p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: right;">these are where the dream blurs</p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 16px; text-align: right;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">3. Materials: Buk, gong, white face mask, sheer white hanging scrim, long sheer white fabric & long shimmering pale gold fabric.</p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 16px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">4. Costume: rehearsal skirt with black & white top, socks, white dress.</p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 16px;"><i></i><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">5. The sky, earth & flowering tree sound. Live music.</p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 16px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">6. Sometimes a true story becomes a fable as you walk the words. </p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">“The murmur of an inner voice evokes the untamed beauty of a land to be discovered, a space to drink in with all our being, it’s breath to be woven into the days and nights to come. Suddenly we’re happy.”</p>

What appeared was an old man born anew. I was surprised she looked so much older than when we lived together for a month when she came to prepare her doctoral thesis.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 24px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">But Jesus, it was because she was playing characters in a play. From an old woman without makeup to a bird, to a woman more enchanting than a peasant, to a divine shaman, to something else beyond - a <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>free spirit. Can I say that the cry and resonance of her soul were shown through a body which was nothing more than a shell? Her eyes were astonishing, like the lions of the night seen in the Serengeti. The overwhelming feeling of being an old soul from the future pulling out the spirit of a previous life of an animal from the distant past. The power to dominate the stage alone. I shuddered for a moment as she seemed to be engulfed in the energy.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">From Yi Sang’s poems to the song "Bird", which is probably also a poem, a strange structure developed in which the various texts to even a nursery rhyme somehow unexpectedly connected and a story was created. It was intense. It was wonderful.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">After the performance, she returned to the girl-like Ae-ran I knew, not the grinning old woman.

Ae & Robin came to my side ... he suggested La Piedra from Peru (Raspberry,Vanila, Chocolate) ... my mind rejected even the idea of such a coffee ... after more discussion (you must understand all talk was in Korean with Ae occasionally providing translation) & with more than a tinge of disappointment i eventually resigned to let go of all desire and try something new ... my taste away from chosen bitter, oily dark bean was to be tested ... my comfort zone was to be challenged ...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaBw8HCDyrOBEcF534cGh1j4U0no1IL8U-aFBatuBt5AgCOwFOs8a5E5EctknSb_F8jWfm_0P-ul0BeTLY9rhbJrOjdQwyYzvwEdyJqPMtQ4vWSSNoHdGmTDB__e75MdOM804fB6g9ng-nBygNOEdQ-smR0RyzlYbAQW9WhzGVsusfjTWv0zg/s4032/Robin.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaBw8HCDyrOBEcF534cGh1j4U0no1IL8U-aFBatuBt5AgCOwFOs8a5E5EctknSb_F8jWfm_0P-ul0BeTLY9rhbJrOjdQwyYzvwEdyJqPMtQ4vWSSNoHdGmTDB__e75MdOM804fB6g9ng-nBygNOEdQ-smR0RyzlYbAQW9WhzGVsusfjTWv0zg/s320/Robin.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>... Ae continued to quiz Robin regarding his roasting & bean selection ... what we could expect returning on a Tuesday ... certificates on the wall demonstrated a man recognized for creating superior quality ... Robin spoke with gentle authority sharing a wealth of wisdom and knowledge about the whole roasting process & techniques used to promote the most flavourful results ... he wondered why we simply didn't choose Starbucks ... to which we replied our intention was to locate a smaller, local establishment ... he smiled ...</p><p>... Ae & i deliberated and Robin brought out beans used for daily espresso generously offering us three packages of a dark bean ... lacking a grinder we needed them ground and he explained our possible needs of grinding from coarse to fine ... </p><p>... though it was almost closing time we received his gift of what he laughingly referred to as ‘Dark Night', and decided to order an espresso & latte ... he most happily obliged as we sat down on a soft couch ... i felt a bit guilty as closing time was drawing near and the place was empty ... two clients had left during our discussions but was relieved when another guest arrived ... we sank into the couch ... soft soothing jazz music began playing transforming the space into a haven of relaxation ... </p><p>... couldn't help but watch Robin meticulously prepare our coffee ... when the espresso arrived the taste surpassed anything I had previously encountered ... a few minutes later he returned having prepared a cold coffee he called ‘Dutch coffee’ ... each coffee he placed before us seemed touched by the gods ... we expressed our awe ...</p><p>… while savoring the coffee Robin shared a beautiful analogy … most large coffee chains roast to a burn … Koreans when making rice experience the rich flavor of rice simmering at the top steeped in all the added stock, herbs & spices … at the end the crispy, slightly burnt bottom rice resting in the pan is especially tasty even though burnt and we particularly crave the slightly charred rice even though it overwhelms all other complicated flavors … the charred bottom rice is further more unhealthy … the same with coffee … the burnt bean is delicious … we are trained by the larger chains to wish for this almost addictive taste denying us the rich, savory, delicate blends … the challenge is to drink each mouthful with an open vigilance of the moment … </p><p>... finishing up as we were leaving he invited us to the back to view the roaster ... a beautiful machine from Europe ... he directed us to sacks of beans ready to be roasted specifically pointing out a large stack from Ethiopia ... on the walls were pictures of him in the fields of Columbia, El Salvador, Hong Kong and other sites ...</p><p>... what had seemed at first a fruitless excursion had turned into a remarkable meeting ... later visiting the web page learnt:</p><p></p><blockquote><blockquote> "Espere Coffee named after from a French word 'esperer', to hope and expect our life as dynamic and sweet as our coffee can be.

... turned out the group was interested in exploring voice & found myself
guiding a body-voice session ... i had fun ... it was surprising a dance group
giving of themselves to voice work ... here was the <a href="https://ksamb.weebly.com/wild-card-movement.html" target="_blank">announcement:</a><blockquote>
Friday, November 6 In collaboration with RAYMON MONTALBETTI! Raymon is an
educator dedicated to making the impossible possible. Actor, director, and
artistic director of AmoK Theatre Lab Vienna, Austria (1972 -1980.)
Participant at Grotowski’s “University of Research” in Wroclaw, Poland. Raymon
is known and appreciated for his radical teaching at E.D. Feehan and at the U
of S. </blockquote><blockquote>"In everyday life, "if" is a fiction, in the theatre "if" is an
experiment. In everyday life, "if" is an evasion, in the theatre "if" is the
truth. When we are persuaded to believe in this truth then the theatre and
life are one ... when we experience the work as play, then it is not work
anymore. A play is play.” ― Peter Brook </blockquote><p>::Note:: ... find them to be a courageous group ... not to sure about my 'radical' teaching ...</p>

Her primary role was translator for Director Ha Kyounghwa of the Korean show <a href="https://iti-unesco-network.org/desire2.html">Desire</a> and provide additional commentary. Upon watching and reflecting on the show she wrote the following text.<br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: center;">
<i>Desire</i>: corporeal expressions especially those created by the Korean body and Korean movement to tell the story of Medea.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<ul>
<li style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">It was interesting to see the combination of Korean body verses greek mythology. To relate to the theme of the festival Home: Greek mythology is home or mother of theatre and the Korean body is the local home of where the actors are trained. In addition, according to what the director indicated, she utilized sources from Stanislavsky, considered to be the father of an actors theatre training. In this respect, the theme Home brings another layer - Travel. How Western-European theatre travels to Korea in contemporary society? In terms of theatre, what does really travel and how is it localized? Does theatre conduct a multicultural complement to enrich our existing culture or does it come disguised as another homoginization aspect of globalization? To explore these vital questions particularly today in the complex flux of multiculturalism, inter-culturalism, globalization, and pan-culturalism, the student theatre festival is especially important, more than at any other time. I really appreciate ITI giving this opportunity to open theatre discussions around the concept of Home.</li>
</ul>
<br /><ul>
<li style="font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">My second response to <i>Desire</i> involved the role of the spectators. We know theatre is foremost a gathering, a meeting. Many theatre practitioners like Grotowski have defined the essential element of theatre as the relationship between the actor and the spectator. And Richard Schechner underlines the importance of between-ness, not what is, but what is happening between the actors and the spectators. Theatre comes from the greek théatron, meaning a viewing place. And what do we see? We see as Jean-Marie Pradier articulated, “the incarnation of the imagination”. In <i>Desire,</i> I sensed the invitation to witness the actors’ emotional journey. I was not invited to personally feel their journey but rather view how they felt. I thought about feelings, not felt them. Primarily I was more interested in analyzing theater than submitting to its hallowed power to move and enthrall me. When I was working with Eugenio Barba, he shared with us on opening night that the meeting with the spectators is the meeting of the truth to evaluate whether all our experiments would work or not - that our truth would meet the spectators truth. Rather than cancelling this Festival, this opportunity to meet, the ITI courageously organized an on-line Festival. The performances and meetings during this Festival allowed me to seriously ponder my question of this relationship between the actors and spectators. This question perhaps not unsurprisingly emerged in the online format more than ever. </li>

... having forged the label "educator of the imagination" to describe my work with students in the domain of theatre/drama or rather the domain of the incarnation of the imagination ... i take a paragraph from the letter ... replace "theatre" with "education" ... exchange "audience" with "student" ... perhaps scandalously exchange "performing arts" with "pedagogy" ... now have created some semblance of meaning to my days of unknowing ...<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Education is the art of gathering. Without direct encounter with the student, education does not exist. Without this delicious and dangerous awareness of the fallibility of the humans there in front of you, education does not exist. Without the mystical awareness of sharing a unique fleeting moment, education does not exist. Its existential quality is based on its ephemerality. Education is what happens between humans gathering together. Education is built on the ideas and feelings shared between souls gathering together. We build multifaceted universes, integrate new technologies, we sometimes collaborate with other disciplines, but none of this affects the essential nature of the pedagogy which fulfill the prehistoric need of humans to be among their own, to observe oneself in the cathartic presence of fellow humans." </blockquote>

Some encouraging and promising initiatives will last. Others are created to be temporary, to keep our heads above water while the storm passes, which may take a long time."</blockquote>

My sojourn with the present embodiment of <i><b>Autobiography of Grass Tomb</b></i> began in 2003 during a first visit to Korea. Fascinated by the rich traditional arts i searched desperately for a Korean play in English translation and successfully downloaded one from a site now long defunct. <i>Grass Tomb</i> by Oh, Tae-sok &amp; Dong Nang Repertory Theatre of Korea was described by the translator Ryu, Yung-kyung as “personified abstractions”. A short read of thirty-five minutes made it ideal for research in university classes. I played with the script for a few years in first year acting classes eventually developing something articulated as <a href="https://rwm.blogspot.com/2012/04/soulwork-defined.html" target="_blank">soul work</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
My partner AeRan Jeong, an incredible performance artist and esteemed academic, introduced me to the Korean Arts - the mask dances, Temple stays, Pansori instruction, Piri lessons and a vast array of Korean theatre from puppets to drumming. We spent years sharing workshop experiences.<br />

Believing a chance to stage the piece may not arrive i challenged my high school students to enter a project introducing Korean culture culminating in a performance of <i>Grass Tomb</i> at E.D.Feehan High School last year (2019). We worked months shaping, rewriting and discovering. As students do I learn much more from them than they do from me. They teach me lessons.<br />
<br />
The University Drama Department, apparently driven by students request, opened a slot in the Greystone season for me to direct. Receiving permission from Korean directors affiliated with the play i felt it a wonderful opportunity to not only share aspects of another culture but also to investigate my past endeavors with Grotowski, Eugenio Barba and AMoK, the Austrian research theatre company which provided the source for my pedagogical path.<br />

A significant moment was during the Christmas break reading <i>The Autobiography of Death</i> by Kim, Hyesoon, I decided to bricolage, into the Oh, Tae-Sok script, her 49 surreal poems where each poem represented a single day during which the spirit roams after death before it enters the cycle of reincarnation. The poems unveiled what Kim calls "the structure of death, that we remain living in." There were other sources particularly Eugenio Barba's Half Human Half Ghost: Techniques that are learned and a Technique to Elude techniques found in <i>The Moon rises from the Ganges My Journey through Asian Acting Techniques. </i><br />
<br />
At the same time I was reading <i>Rethinking Religion in the Theatre of Grotowski </i>by Catherine Christof. The tension within me was to fluidly walk the line of many interdisciplinary frontiers and make connections with Korea's traditions and violent contemporary history to our presence here on Treaty Six Territory and Homeland of the Metis.<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">Three, three-day weekend workshops in January and February, resulted in 14 acting students and a design team committing themselves to the project. Each workshop investigated aspects of Grotowski’s research. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">We moved through theatre of productions to para-theatre / theatre of sources to objective drama / art as vehicle to soul work. The disciplines of the workshops were rooted in Theatre Anthropology, Ethnoscenology and Performance Studies. The actuality was a training play process - in the spirit of a series of happenings. After the workshops I had no plan ... Grotowski’s words “I do the play I do not know” is a beginning place fraught with anxiety. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">During the workshop i exclaimed: "i don't care about the production - i care about you" ... i saw panic in their eyes &amp; later retracted the statement wishing to clarify to no avail. What they perhaps neglected to realize is if you care deeply about your actors the production will take care of itself. </span><br />

Still what I could not have foreseen and left me completely overwhelmed were how the students forged a fascinating work from acts of inspired creation. I did nothing but watch. Occasionally spoke incomprehensible words, told stories I hoped related, made suggestions most of which had to be discarded and ignored.<br />
<br />
I did share videos, created a structure of cycles attempting to follow Korean dramatic structure and poorly described aspects of Korean rhythm and conceptual aesthetics. I distributed the poems by asking each to pick a number or two and provided them with the numbered poem. It felt like casting the IChing Book of Changes (though never talked about it.) It was remarkable how so many found the perfect place and action for their randomly chosen poems. We did have a moment of doubt regarding cultural appropriation and what were we even attempting to reach with this project. Given a chance to discuss the students answered the questions themselves. We continued positioning our quest in an indeterminate place of half ghost/half human. We all had ideas of loss &amp; grief ... loss of land. loss of the other, loss of humanity.<br />

I continued to listen &amp; responded by cleaning the floor, threw pieces of fabric at them, moved, breathed and voiced with them. Shared dreams, fears, inadequacies and couldn’t hold back tears of gratitude. I had a faithful grounded manager team that magically recorded our words shaping them into a script and kept us on our path. Videoed a later rehearsal run to help cue to cue. Standing with me were designers and experienced faculty who if I didn’t have a clue knew exactly what needed to be done. The set and lights were deliciously magnificent. We ended up with a script composed of a welcoming, cycles 1 to 4, the knot and untying. Interspersed were 16 poems.<br />
<br />
Each and every step along the process a student - no a searcher, a fresh unbridled artist would discover some territory of the heart, some deep connection, some inner life moment, some physical truth, some playful living act, some unfathomable psychological source, some leap of imagination, some power of voice, some unanswered question later to be answered in the action of playmaking and together they made the work play and the play became life or rather the space was transformed into a rhythmic, narrative of evocative energy changeable and ephemeral yet a precise form which preserved the mystery of our relationship between the living and the dead.<br />

<i>The Autobiography of Grass Tomb</i> allowed us to witness “ripples of gestures, intonations, actions, stillness and thoughts and it is as if these remained unknown to us” (Barba: Half human, half ghost - Techniques that are learned and a technique to elude techniques found in <i>The Moon rises from the Ganges My Journey through Asian Acting Techniques)</i><br />
<br />
Sitting in the audience at our first and last sharing the play somehow made breathtakingly visible what lay in the here and now dormant in each of us as we dance the illusion of existence.
<br />
<br />
One of my last acts was to gift an object to each actor. It was an act of selfishness. They were to return the object at the conclusion of our process. i desired one last face to face opportunity to meet and look directly into their eyes to hold the preciousness of what we had done and give thanks<br />
<br />
<i>The Autobiography of Grass Tomb</i> was shared at a tech rehearsal for friends and family Sunday, March 15 @ 6pm. It was never publicly performed. Cancelled due to the coronavirus (covid-19).<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>:: Note::</b> ... also posted these words of thanks to the cast: ... dearest team Grass Tomb ... i breathe deeply ... your incessant energy intensifying each day of our sojourn became the power that pulled me into your zone of an unfathomable freedom of expression and exploration ... your physical and emotional daring swept me into the visceral and inventive acts of creation ... in awe i participated as witness to your ruthless capacity as you entered rhythms of discovery and cycles of motions elevated far beyond the substance and limits of my imagination ... feelings swelled i chocked by tears feebly articulating our process ... inspired by you i rest wordless ... thank you for giving me the space to be with you ...thumbs up to the future ... you are the dancingness &amp; singingness of hope ... when the fog cleared we affirm, after the process, we challenged a ghost and were not defeated ... much love as you continue your path own the way of the actor/artist ...<br />

<i><b>Jessica a Ceremony</b></i> is a reimagined reworking of <b><i>Jessica</i></b> by Maria Campbell and Linda Griffiths.<br />
<br />
<i>The book of Jessica: A Theatrical Transformation</i> documents the collaboration between Maria Campbell, Metis writer, playwright, filmmaker, scholar, teacher, community organizer, activist and elder and Linda Griffiths (1953-2014), a Canadian actress, producer, writer and one of Canada's most lauded modern theatre voices as together they created the award winning play <i>Jessica</i>.<br />
<br />
To honour the 45th anniversary of Maria Campbells's memoir <i>Halfbreed</i> (1973), regarded as a foundational work of Indigenous literature in Canada, the E.D. Feehan Theatre Guild brings you the story of a young Metis girl struggling to find her voice. A story that resonates even more today. The cast diligently sourced the original script by improvising around scenes to develop their own path which they wish to share with you.<br />
<br />
We welcome you to join us on our journey. Elder Vitaline conjures up the spirits Wolverine, Bear, Coyote, Crow and Unicorn. She invites Jessica into a ceremony where Jessica must face her memories and past with Kookum, her family, school colleagues and employer. She enters moments of crisis, denials, pain and struggles. Her quest is to encounter her fractured self and the sole/soul question remains. Does she have the strength to gather all she sees in herself? Will she rise up to honour and give voice to her past and who she has become?<br />
<br />
