The danger is that the performers might be carried away by the music and begin to merely "enjoy themselves" rather than using the music as an aid that serves the purpose of each certain task they would be working on.&lt;br /&gt;In my experience music can be a very useful tool in training in three different ways:&lt;br /&gt;1) using music as pattern to clarify the movements by the guidance of the rhythm&lt;br /&gt;2) using music as contexts: performing a fixed sequence of action to different musics, colors the action and helps the performers to explore more possibilities in the materials they have created&lt;br /&gt;3) using music for orchestrating various parts of action: i.e. we could have three performers a and blues song played by a guitar, a base and a drum set and we ask one performer to move in accordance with the guitar, the other performer with the drums and the other with the base.&lt;br /&gt;Furthermore, one single performer can as well use different parts of his or her own body, each reacting to one instrument. In this way the music serves as a very useful aid to clarify the orchestration of the action.&lt;br /&gt;These have proved very useful when I train beginners to communicate certain principle to then in a non-verbal way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, what does make music so magical? Isn't the precise mathematical structure of its scores that strikes our emotions? Grotowski says, "spontaneity only happens within a structure." That is what happens with music.&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://goossun.com/b/2008/10/music.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (I didn't write this!)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101624.post-5652080633530624760</guid><pubDate>Fri, 17 Oct 2008 18:43:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-10-18T22:01:39.101+02:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Theatre</category><title>When it doesn't work</title><description>Everyone who has done theatre knows that there are days (sometime many successive ones) where "it" doesn't work. Then as the director you ought to come up with some solution. You cannot &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt; be "inspired" as some would put it; you cannot be unfocused; you cannot be lost or you'll be lost.&lt;br /&gt;At these situations the director must make sure that everyone feel safe, that everyone feels that they are in good hands. And in order to do that, the director has one primary task to solve, that is, to make sure that he has created a secure working space where the only "problems" are those related to the "craft" and not chaos created by dis-organization.</description><link>http://goossun.com/b/2008/10/when-it-doesnt-work.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (I didn't write this!)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101624.post-7098873877129308717</guid><pubDate>Thu, 16 Oct 2008 10:46:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-10-16T12:51:01.232+02:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Extemporization</category><title>WMD</title><description>Just been looking at the The World Movement for Democracy's website whose URL is &lt;a href="http://www.wmd.org/"&gt;www.wmd.org&lt;/a&gt;.

از دوستانش آنقدر بی‌خبر است تا اینکه خلاصه «خبرشان می‌رسد.» هر روز خبرِ مرگِ یکی از اهلِ فرهنگ را در اخبار می‌خوانی؛ دوستان، آشنایان، کسانی که شاید شخصاً نمی‌شناختی ولی در شکل‌گیری‌یِ کاری و فرهنگی‌یِ تو بسیار موثر بوده‌اند. با خودم می‌گویم که نوشتن در سوگِ از دست‌رفته‌گان تذویر و خود‌ارضائی‌ست وقتی که در زمان حیاتشان از ایشان ننوشتیم که بدانند چه اندازه به گردنِ ما حق داشته و دارند. اما...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;دیروز فرهنگِ معیری هم رفت. و من نه تنها غمگین از این که او دیگر نیست (که سرنوشتِ همه‌یِ ماست) بلکه متاسف از اینم که چه مقدار خاطره و تجربه و دانش و منشِ فرهنگی‌یِ ثبت نشده هم با او رفت و ما را تهی‌دست‌تر گذاشت. یعنی گنجینه‌ای که ما با بی‌دقتی و سر‌-به-‌هوائی از جمع‌آوری و تدوین‌اش غفلت کردیم؛ و می‌کنیم. دلیلِ انقطاعِ فرهنگی همیشه حمله‌یِ مغول نیست؛ کم‌کاری‌یِ ما در ثبت، فهم و امتدادِ تجربه‌ها نیز یکی از دلایلِ این بیماری‌یِ تاریخی‌یِ ماست. معیری دستِ‌کم خودش این همت را داشت که آموزش‌گاهی راه بیندارد و نه تنها تجربه‌هایش را به جوانان منتقل کند، بلکه کمکی هم باشد برایِ ورود و دوام‌شان در تئاتر و سینما. و از این منظر است که من می‌خواهم چند خطی در یاد او بنویسم. نه برایِ آن کسی که دیگر نیست؛ بلکه برای آنچه کرد و همیشه خواهد ماند. باشد که دیگران از زاویه‌هایِ دیگر درباره‌یِ او بنویسند.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;من اولین بار فرهنگِ معیری راسالِ ۱۳۷۶ هنگامِ عکاسی از نمایشِ بانو آئویی‌یِ بهرام بیضائی ملاقات کردم. بر‌خلافِ رسمِ معمولِ «آدم معروف‌ها» معیری بسیار خوش‌برخورد و اهلِ خوش-و-بش بود. در همان اولین برخورد هم چند نکته درباره‌یِِ نور و طراحی‌یِ گریم و عکاسی و .... به اصطلاحِ خودمانی «همین طور سرپائی» به بنده گوش‌زد کرد که آموزنده بود. آن روزها، روزهایِ رونق تئاتر بود و همه‌یِ «قومِ مغضوبین» از طرفی و جوانانِ تازه از گردِ راه رسیده از طرف دیگر مشغول به کار. من هم در آن بین در تلاش برایِ ساختنِ نمایشِ اژدهاک به هر دری می‌زدم و با کمک‌هایِ آتیلا پسیانی درها داشتند کم کم باز می‌شدند. در این اثنا من فرهنگ معیری را هر از گاهی سرِ کارهایِ بیضائی&lt;br /&gt;یا حمید امجد می‌دیدم. در یکی از این دیدارها معیری از تلاشِ من برایِ اجرایِ اژدهاک خبردار شد و پرسید: «برایِ گریم چه فکری کردی؟» من هم مفصل فکرهایم را برایش گفتم؛ چرا که از چهره‌اش معلوم بود که واقعاً علاقه‌مند است و محضِ وقت‌گذرانی سوآل نمی‌کند. بعد هم گفت «من یه دانشجوئی می‌شناسم که خیلی به این کار علاقه‌منده و اگه اجازه بدین بیاد در محضرِ شما چیز یاد بگیره!» پرسیدم «شاگردِ شماست؟ اسمش چیه؟» گفت «اسمش فرهنگ معیری‌ئه.» من کمی گیج، کمی خجالت‌زده گفتم «سر به سر می‌ذارین آقایِ معیری» گفت «نه جونِ مامان» گفتم «ما هیچ بودجه‌ای هم نداریم واسه این کار.» گفت «نگران نباش.»&lt;br /&gt;این پیشنهاد برایم باور کردنی نبود، به همین دلیل راستش چندان پی‌اش را نگرفتم. اما معیری جدی بود. چند روز بعد زنگ زد و جویایِ اینکه کارها چطور پیش می‌رود و ... با اینکه اجرایِ ا‌‌‌ژدهاک تا یک‌سال و نیم پس از آن عملی نشد، با این حال معیری با تمامِ تنگی‌یِ وقت سرِ قول‌اش ماند و طراحی‌ی گریمِ نمایشِ اژدهاک را انجام داد. حتا چند باری هم در طولِ اجراهایِ عمومی به تئاترِ شهر آمد تا مطمئن شود که گریمور‌هایِ تئاترِ شهر طرح را درست اجرا می‌کنند. و این جلسات تبدیل می‌شد به کلاسِ گریم برایِ گریمورّهایِ تئاترِ شهر. ما همه با دهن باز می‌دیدیم که چطور معیری با بالا-پائین کردن یک خط ظریف، به چهره‌یِ بازیگر شخصیت می‌دهد.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;بعد از اژدهاک امکانِ همکاری‌یِ مجدد پیش نیامد ولی رابطه‌یِ دوستانه برقرار بود. معیری مدام اخبار کارهایم را تعقیب می‌کرد و گاه کسانی را به من معرفی یا مرا به کسانی معرفی می‌کرد که به نظرش برایِ کارهایِ آینده مفید بودند. این خلق و خویِ‌ معیری بود که آدم‌ها را با هم آشنا می‌کرد و به قولِ معروف آدم‌ها را به هم «جوش می‌داد.» به نظرم خیلی از بازیگرانِ جوان مدیونِ این اخلاقِ معیری هستند.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;بعد‌ از مدتِ کوتاهی آزادی‌یِ مختصر در فضایِ تئاتر و امکان کار کردن برایِ اغلبِ اهلِ تئاتر و به خصوص جوانانِ هم‌نسلِ من، وضع دوباره بد شد و سانسورِ و بی‌نظمی و ناتوانی‌یِ مدیریتِ تئاتر در سامان دادنِ بودجه‌یِ اندکِ تئاتر، کلِ تئاترِ ایران را به اوضاعِ‌ماقبلِ دومِ خرداد پرتاب کرد. به خصوص بعد از بر سرِ کار آمدنِ مجید شریف خدایی که گُلِ ناتوانی‌یِ مدیریتی و ناآگاهی‌یِ هنری‌اش را به سبزه‌یِ «دو-به-هم-زنی» و ایجادِ تفرقه در بینِ هنرمندان آراسته بود، امکانِ کار و فعالیت در فضایِ تئاتر هر روز کمتر و کمتر می‌شد. بعد از این که گروهِ کوچکِ من از این جا رانده و از آن جا مانده در حالِ از هم پاشیدن بود، فرهنگ معیری با سخاوتِ بی‌کران به ما پیشنهاد کرد که در یکی از اتاق‌هایِ آموزشگاه‌اش، بدون پرداختِ حتا یک شاهی، تمریناتِ نمایشِ ماما گودریلا را ادامه دهیم. ما عصرها، بعد از کلاس‌هایِ معیری در آن اتاقِ کوچک تمرین می‌کردیم و معیری در دفترش می‌نشست و سیگار دود می‌کرد و منتظر می‌ماند تا کارِ‌ ما تمام شود. گاهی هم، خیلی به ندرت می‌آمد بخش‌هایی از کار را تماشا می‌کرد. چیزی هم نمی‌گفت. می‌گفت «وقتش که شد، خبرت می‌کنم.» با این حال همیشه راهِ حلی برایِ مشکلاتِ تکنیکی پیشنهاد می‌کرد که به عقلِ هیچ جنی هم خطور نمی‌کرد و فقط در قوطی‌یِ مردِ با تجربه‌ای مثلِ او پیدا می‌شد.&lt;br /&gt;بعد از این که ماما گودزیلا «در بازبینی‌یِ هیأتِ نظارت مردود اعلام شد» گروهِ ما دست از پا درازتر، خانه‌نشین شد. ما کاملا ناامید شده بودیم و به اصطلاحِ «بی‌خیالِ ماجرا.» اما معیری دست‌بردار نبود. هر چند روز یک‌ بار زنگ می‌زد با خنده می‌گفت که «ارباب، ما رو کی استخدام می‌کنی؟ یه کاری دس بگیر دیگه.» ولی با این همه تولیدِ نمایش غیرِ ممکن شده بود و من هم خسته و ناامید شده بودم.&lt;br /&gt;آخرین باری که امکانِ کارگردانی‌یِ یک نمایش برایم فراهم شد، زمانی بود که حمید امجد برایِ  چند روزی به شکلِ نیم‌بند مدیریتِ خانه‌یِ نمایش را به عهده گرفته بود و از من خواست که نمایشی را در آن‌جا اجرا کنم؛ با بازی‌یِ اتیلا پسیانی و بر اساسِ متنی که محمد چرمشیر در امتداد تمرین‌ها برایمان بنویسد و نامش: مردِ پنجم. همان موقع به معیری زنگ زدم که بداند دوباره دارم کار می‌کنم. معیری ناخوش بود و نمی‌توانست بیاید پایِ تلفن. چند روز بعد با این که هنوز شدیداً مریض بود زنگ زد و ابرازِ خورسندی و اینکه «حالم که بهتر شد میام ببینم چه فکری واسه گریم می‌شه کرد» .... مردِ پنجم هم مانندِ بسیاری از کارهایِ تئاتری‌یِ من در ایران، با این که آماده شده بود، ولی هرگز اجرا نشد. &lt;br /&gt;آن گفت‌وگویِ تلفنی‌یِ در بستر بیماری آخرین گفت‌وگویِ من با فرهنگِ معیری بود. من بدون خداحافظی با دوستان ایران را ترک کردم و برایِ مدت‌هایِ مدید از کسی خبری نداشتم جز از راهِ خواندنِ اخبارِ کارشان در اینترنت. یک بار هم که دفترچه‌یِ تلفن‌ام را گذاشتم جلوم و به تمامِ دوستانم در ایران زنگ زدم، دستم به معیری نرسید.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;گمان نمی‌کنم که من تنها کسی بوده باشم که مورد چنین الطافی از جانبِ معیری قرار گرفته بود. این‌گونه حمایت‌ها و تشویق‌ها بخشی از شخصیتِ او بود و شامل هر کسی که با او رابطه داشت می‌شد. وگرنه دلیلی نداشت که معیری به جوانِ ناشناسِ تازه از گردِ راه رسیده‌ای چون من این همه توجه کند. آن هم در جوِ مملو از بی‌اعتمادی و پر از حسادتِ فضایِ هنری‌یِ ایران که زیرِ آب همدیگر را زدن همیشه منفعت‌اش از دوستی و پشتیبانی‌یِ‌ از یکدیگر بیشتر است.&lt;br /&gt;چیزی را هم باید در اینجا اضافه کنم: معیری تنها کسی نبود که در آن روزهایِ بد کمکم کرد و مشوقم بود که دل‌سرد نشوم. اصغر همت، محمود استادمحمد، بهروز غریب‌پور، حسین مسافرآستانه، آتیلا پسیانی، محمدرضا اصلانی و خیلی‌هایِ دیگر هر کدام به تنهائی و در حد توانِ خود از هیچ کمکی مضایقه نکردند. آنچه مرا به حیرت می‌اندازد این است که چرا این محبت‌ها، حسنِ نیت‌ها و مهربانی‌ها هیچ وقت به هم نمی‌رسند و با هم ملاقات نمی‌کنند. در فضایِ بی‌اعتمادی‌یِ ‌بوجود آمده در ایران، بسیاری از اهلِ فرهنگ سال‌هاست که از هم بی‌خبرند. این فاصله‌ها باعثِ راکد ماندن و به هرز رفتن همه‌یِ آن انرژی‌های مثبتی می‌شود که این عزیزان در خود دارند و هرگز از پیشکش‌اش دریغ نورزیده‌اند.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;رابطه‌یِ اهلِ فرهنگ و هنر با یکدیگر یکی از ضروریاتِ زایشِ فرهنگی‌ست. منظورم این نیست که مدام قربان‌-صدقه‌یِ هم برویم و به هم جایزه بدهیم. رقابت‌ و چشم-هم-چشمی هم البته امری‌ست طبیعی در حیطه‌یِ هنر. اما بیائید همه‌یِ تقصیر‌ها را به گردنِ‌ حکومت‌ها (که در چند هزار سالِ گذشته عینِ هم بوده‌اند) نیندازیم و برایِ احترام گذاشتن به فرهنگ و به یکدیگر منتظر معجزه نباشیم.&lt;br /&gt;فرهنگِ معیری این فرهنگ را داشت که نقطه‌یِ ارتباط و آشنائیِ اهل تئاتر و سینما باشد و تجربه‌هایش را با جوانان تقسیم کند. آقایِ معیری، ممنون!‌&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div

We drove around while he delivered huge bottles of   water to various places. In one of the places, where it was inconvenient to park, he asked me if I could give him a hand and deliver the water to the designated office and get the receipts signed. I said "sure."&lt;br /&gt;So up I went to the sixth floor of a business complex and knocked   on the door. A young smiling lady opened the door and showed me the way to where the water should be placed. Except for greetings and few words of politeness, neither I nor the lady said anything.  I then gave her the papers to sign and collected the empty bottles, came back down to the street, threw the empty bottles in the back of the van and we drove to the next place.&lt;br /&gt;I really enjoyed doing this. For the first time I did not have  to explain who I was and what I was doing. It was pretty evident what I was doing and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;who I was, was defined but what I was doing&lt;/span&gt;. Where as in my everyday life as a so-called "artist" I am sick and tired of explaining myself and what I do 24/7 to any fucking Mr. or Mrs. Nobody who just happened–through butt kissing–to get a job in a cultural organization, in a gallery, in a theatre, in a film distribution company etc.&lt;br /&gt;Delivering water, a job with meaning. That's what art lacks: meaning. This question has been preoccupying my mind for a long time: "how can I make sure what I do has an actual meaning beyond the empty values and decedent routines of &lt;span class="hw"&gt;petit &lt;/span&gt;bourgeoisie&lt;span class="hw"&gt;?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://goossun.com/b/2008/03/explaining-what-i-do.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (I didn't write this!)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101624.post-3502732924543627292</guid><pubDate>Mon, 25 Feb 2008 22:46:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-02-27T11:21:13.690+01:00</atom:updated><title>Duchamp and I</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://goossun.com/b/uploaded_images/duchamp-&amp;amp;-I-701462.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://goossun.com/b/uploaded_images/duchamp-&amp;amp;-I-701462" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Today my friend Sam and I went to Duchamp, Man Ray and Picabia’s &lt;a href="http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/exhibitions/duchampmanraypicabia/"&gt;exhibition&lt;/a&gt; at Tate Modern. Even though I have always been fascinated by the Dadaists but I wasn’t actually in the mood of being exposed to “art” today. In fact it has been a while that I am strictly avoiding “art” and “artists.” But then we were driving aimlessly around London with nowhere to go to and we then found ourselves in front of the Tate Modern with a vacant parking place. So we reluctantly decided to go to the exhibition.&lt;br /&gt;At first we talked about entering the building and exit without seeing any of the exhibition. That would be Dadaistic. But it was cold outside. So we compromised and agreed that we go to the exhibition for the time span of an hour that our parking ticket allowed us, but avoid looking at the most famous piece: &lt;a href="http://www.students.sbc.edu/evans06/images/Marcel%20Duchamp.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Fountain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have made it into a principle to avoid what tourists do. For instance I managed not to see the Eiffel Tower when I went to Paris, nor have I ever seen the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen, nor the Parliament’s dome, Reichstag in Berlin and many other tourist attractions or works of art that have been reduced to tourist attraction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, Sam and I went to Tate Modern and as you could imagine it were not easy to overlook the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Fountain&lt;/span&gt;. So we did see it in the end. But I wanted to make a manifestation, a disrespectful gesture towards Duchamp’s artwork. So I decided to take a photograph of myself, standing in front of &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Fountain&lt;/span&gt;, the pissoir, with my hand covering my eyes. But the guard said that rules of the museum do not permit visitors to take photographs. I told her this is a Dada exhibition, what the hell is “rules.” She seemed perplexed; I think that was the first time she had heard that word. But she repeated with more emphasis that it was “against the rules.” We got very disappointed. But we couldn’t accept that, could we? So after a while I wet in front of the pissoir and Sam quickly snapped a picture with his mobile phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was a little act of Dada. But I am not really satisfied. I am thinking to go back to the museum and this time pee in the pissoir. Just wonder what would happen to me if I do that? I am sure that the Dadaists would laugh their ass off in their graves.&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://goossun.com/b/2008/02/duchamp-and-i.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (I didn't write this!)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101624.post-602809312119904061</guid><pubDate>Thu, 21 Feb 2008 10:34:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-02-22T12:44:54.958+01:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Poem</category><title>Pære-ker-dansk</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://goossun.com/b/uploaded_images/vahid_politiken-793613.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://goossun.com/b/uploaded_images/vahid_politiken-793609.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Drawing by &lt;a href="http://supergreen.dk/"&gt;Jens Walter Peter Burau&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Introduction: February 21st has been declared the International Mother Language Day by UNESCO.
