Dear fellow MAIPR students and staff,

Today we were contacted by a prominent Austrian scholar specialized in performances in cyber spaces, professor Post Akomment, who stumbled upon our MAIPR blog and Youtube posting and got intereseted in our small project about subverting performance space. He made contact with us so we shared details of our work and in the end he was kind enough to write a brief reflexion on what he had found out. We would kindly ask you to take some time and have a look at his blog to see what he thinks. Please follow the link. http://postakomment.blogspot.com/

Best wishes,

WARWICK GROUP 1 :TRANSGRESSION - " IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING"

Imagine
Songwriters: Lennon, John;

Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try
No people below us, above it's only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do
No need to kill or die for and no religions too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger a brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing for the world

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
Take my hand and join us
And the world will live, will live as one

A2: Mind Map "Intercultural Theatre"

A1: Mind Map "Transgression"

Mind Map: TRANSGRESSION (response to W1 Keyword)

W3: Keyword "Ji"

Ji is a Chinese pictograph comprised of three symbols: the hand, the meat, and the spirit tablet denoting ceremony. Traditionally ceremony was undertaken in order to attain something; the hand of the priest presents the meat of a human sacrifice to the spirit tablet (a symbol of a god). We propose to use Ji as a metaphor to explore the relationship between interculturalism, the artist and the art.

If we consider ceremonies of interculturalism, we ask the following questions:
- - What is being sacrificed? What is being gained?
- - Are there ethics involved with partaking in ceremonies of interculturalism?
