knowledge and experience
Back in normal life again. Still half in the experience of the last few days. Thank you all for the great time.
Just to give you a little quote for now related to my daily work as an Alexander Technique teacher, which for me covers partly what the workshops of Anna and Maya were about.
Knowledge is of little use in itself; it is the linking up of what we know with that which comes to us daily in the shape of new ideas and new experiences which is of value, and this ability to link up is inseperable from the processes concerned with remembering. In other words, the value of knowledge lies in our power to make use of it in association with the greater knowledge which should come to us as we increase in years of experience, and as we substitute reasoning for instinct ......

2gift-Dramayama, research report G-net
L.S,
I fully enjoyed the research and development of the work Geometry in Free space, as a wounderfull Gift of precious surprises. A great eager to get to know your relations to the work of Natasja, for personally I feel a strong urge and beauty in a broad reflection and intelligent ThinkTank as well on these subjects. I was not only finding relations towards the mathematical/ cosmological art of Astrology that I have been studiing since 1984; In my personal quest/ work, to see how an esoteric tool/ ritual containing secret messages can be the very essence used for the richness of Art. I started from a performing pilgrimage into temple-rituals of the ancient Dravidian culture, a reseach where I try to connect to a source of rituals performed to a Solar System Temple agglomeration( Astrology) in Tamil Nadu India last year. I would like to invite you to see my report website http://www.zootengenant.com/dramayama to read and watch imagery of those adventures. Please do understand I am not a writer nor a theorician and I would love to have some reactions or filosophical comments/critics if anyone has time or interest. I have been developping this pilgrimage- performance within DasArts http://www.dasarts.nl and resulted in different playfull try-outs. During a Test Portal Festival Also Natasja and Stefan were Initiated in the "performance sect" 2 gift http://www.zootengenant.com/2gift , In the Tropical Museum Amsterdam there is an Installation of some remains and a free work of inspiration was presented in Gallery De Praktijk http://www.depraktijk.nl where I am Artist with my husband under the name Zootengenant http://www.zootengenant.com.
Well there is my personal introduction, and I am looking forwards to you as well !

"projective geometry"
I am interested in "projective geometry" and I consider this from the viewpoint of mathematics and imagination.
Is anybody interested in making the connection between this geometry and dance, sculpture, or other arts? Maybe it is possible to develope this together.
