Stories that reconnect – harvesting

  • Posted by Ilaria olimpico
  • Date March 21, 2021

“Stories that reconnect” online workshops have taken place since the beginning of the first lockdown in Italy (March 2020). This format is evolving in a living method for social arts online, integrating narration, visual language, embodiment, and creative writing. It has its roots in Social Presencing Theatre, Aesthetic of the Oppressed, and the aesthetic process “Images and Stories” developed with Uri Noy Meir.

In April and May, there will be two seminars in Italian about Stories that reconnect as a process of awareness, reconnection, and listening. Read more here (in Italian).

The last workshop had the intention to tell stories that reconnect to see with new eyes.

Stories are the narratives we weave collectively in a continuous exercise in between 

confident welcome and creative negotiation,

surprise and enchantment, 

listening and improvisation.

Stories are the narratives of our experience, as we feel it in our body, 

Stories are listened to and shared, so they enter into a wider history-frame,

and finally, they become more bearable.

During the stories, unexpected senses and learnings can emerge,

spaces of unexplored possibilities can open up.

Stories are the narratives of our body, of our bodies in-relation, of our “present” bodies.

Present bodies give us back, in a meaningful, indefinite, and pregnant feeling,

a different knowledge of ourselves and the world.

Stories are the images and the sounds that come to us from the outside with an echo inside.

We re-appropriate images and sounds to give voice, space to the marginalized parts of us, of the world.

Stories are the stories about the time we live, anchored to a more attentive feeling,

recalling a compassionate and powerful “presence”.

The total white of the uncertainty of our time,

became, in the story we told,

the white of the possibility that comes to life from the emptiness. 

The unwanted storm that upset our “normality”,

became, in the story we told,

the storm that brought us back

together,

clinging to the Mother rock,

attentive to the beating of our heart.
