Another exploration of Gift Economy

Check out another version of Gift Economy exploration with lots of Lewis Hyde quotes. And the blog is by my son Ben Lloyd who's created a theater and arts residency program at this old magnificent mansion near Elkins Park PA.

deSoLAte/deLigHT project initiates a year-long investigation into the creation of performance art based in the establishment of a culture. The culture will commit to creative processes that are enhanced by contemplative art practices, such as sitting meditation practice, instructions from the Dharma Art teachings of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and images from general systems theory. From this culture will arise an expression that represents the combined myths and stories of this moment-in-time. We will re-member, re-create and un-fold surprise.

The project was first explored during the ‘dance.art.lab’ in May 2007 on the Nalanda campus of Naropa U. During these 5 days/6 hours a day, disciplines and values came into focus. The new performance art form ‘AUNTS’, which invites immediate, direct, and complete expression from those present is the instigator. Waiting for the space to tell us what to do sets the tone both for embodied disciplines and mutual engagement with our shared conversations through movement, text, sound and silence.
