They imitate the dance of the birds and spread their wings like them. They are filled with the spirit of the wind, the flowing water, the warming fire, the nourishing earth\u2019 [loosely based on Kabir].<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is also what ritual play is about: the focus here is not on acquiring techniques, but on uncovering one&#8217;s own impulses and potential in connection with the group. Everything counts, nothing is incidental, the duality of \u2018right\u2019 or \u2018wrong\u2019 is suspended.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The work is based on a myth, a fairy tale or a dramatic text.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The whole world of feelings, dreams and fantasies is contained within it and reveals itself as a source of ever-new forms: sometimes we are human, sometimes animal, sometimes plant or simply air or fire. In group improvisations with body and voice, with rhythm and space, we trace \u201carchetypal\u201d motifs: the \u201carchetypes of the soul\u201d or contents of the \u201ccollective unconscious\u201d (according to C.G. Jung)&#8230; This often gives rise to images and symbols of great theatrical power and effectiveness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ritual play is a special form of physical theatre in which there is no audience \u2013 everyone plays at the same time. After intensive physical work and many exercises in perception, encounter and improvisation, the players increasingly enter a state of self-forgetfulness that many have not experienced since childhood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The roots of ritual play lie in the work of Jerzy Grotowski, the Living Theatre and the Off-Off-Broadway Theatre. It is particularly suitable for actors or dancers who want to expand their range of expression, who want to get to the bottom of a theme, text or myth \u2013 as well as for anyone else who is fascinated by the liveliness and wildness of free play and who seeks the profound experience of being part of something bigger: ritual play also has a spiritual dimension.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>General conditions<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Date<\/b> To be determined, expected to be 5 days in May or June 2026 at Lichtsaal, Thomas-Mayr-Str. 4, 85567 Grafing<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Times <\/b>Wednesday 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Thursday-Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. including lunch breaks.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Participant fee<\/b> \u20ac440 if paid by 31 March 2026 (date of receipt of payment), thereafter \u20ac490.
