Creation
inspired by Rene Magritte’s – The Lovers
Using ideas and
philosophies of the Surrealists
“Automatism - The process of writing or creating art without conscious thought. The
term was borrowed from physiology, which uses the term to denote involuntary
processes that are not under conscious control, such as breathing. The
Surrealists later applied to techniques of spontaneous writing, drawing, and
painting.”
“Assemblage - a three-dimensional composition made from a variety of traditionally
non-artistic materials and objects.”

The Lovers René Magritte
(Belgian, 1898–1967)
|
“My painting is visible images which
conceal nothing,” he wrote, “they evoke mystery and, indeed, when one sees one
of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question, ‘What does it mean?’ It
does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is
unknowable.”

CREATIVE EXERCISES
Finding "elemental movement"
Embody as ice, water, molten lava, wood, metal
Move/travel as these - ice, water, molten lava, wood, metal transitioning from one to the other.
Responding to objects that can move
Watching a plastic bag screwed up and unravelling
In small groups respond and recreate the movement physically without talking discussing.
Ensemble
Flocking/shoaling - moving as an ensemble
Build the ensemble - "Yes Lets"
Develop the ensemble moving, speaking, travelling as a group
Playing with the head covers...
