Publisher's Synopsis
State of Emergence is a compendium of methods drawn from physical theatre, dance, vocalization and ritual practices to gain access to the internal landscape of impulses, emotions and sensations in the body. This somatic work offers a dynamic visceral interpretation of Carl Jung's "active imagination" for making the Unconscious, conscious in movement, vocalization and action. The dogma-free bias of this ritual technology can be integrated into any ritual, dance, movement or theatre practice in need of greater depth of inner work. It can also serve those who are ready to start their own group with five rituals, from the least to the most challenging: Verticality, The 4 Elements, The Dreaming Ritual, Shadow Work, and Ritual of the Muses Dialogue. Ritual methods include The Five Intentions, No-Form, Conscious Projection, Sourcing, Space Forming, Presence Actions, Boundarywork, Non-directional Jogging, and much more. This book also includes stories from those who have done this work, the author's personal ritual journals, an interview with singer Sylvi Alli on "The Embodied Voice", the Potential Dangers of ritual work and much more...
