Artistic
creativity as present day therapy provides a spiritual source of
inner activity, a touchstone for the human striving for
balance.
Watercolour
painting in flowing colour can be brought to a manifest station of
the soul and those qualities that are inherent in it. In the course
of this process universal archetypes and colour moods are called
forth whose dynamic working together can be applied to gesture and
drama.
In speech
strengthening takes place directly through the breathing: soul pain
becomes transformed. The strong upsurging stream of breath from the
diaphragm is constantly gripped and released, awakening to
placement in the forming of vowel and consonant (whole universal
archetypes are related to the world of colour). Words are breathed
in, and set free in space, time and rhythm.
Dramatic
representations during the festival times can help bring a special
element of healing. Speaking and singing together allows people
with speech impediments to enter into the general atmosphere, and
thereby ‘free up’ their speaking. Even ‘totally mute’ people may
participate through the movement art of eurhythmy, in which sound
and tone can be expressed in the whole human form.
Katherine
Rudolph has worked in therapeutic and artistic, painting and colour
work combined with formative speech in Australia and Europe. Her
special interest links sound and poetic rhythm to colour and
musical qualities in their dynamic relation to earth, water, fire
and air.
