This is a method to use when we want to turn the information of dreams into thinking by using associations, finding patterns and connections. To understand the choreography of our common infinite reality, our selves. A brilliant simplicity, almost anarchistic tuned democracy in the method that opens the infinitely varying horizons of togetherness. A choreography of thoughts and ideas, a choreography of dreamlike metaphorical thinking

BOOK REVIEW: _Dream journey to the Unknown_ by Eeva Antilla

by jeffrey gormly

This is an important book about education, about our relationship to knowledge, about how we negotiate learning experiences, but even more importantly, how we negotiate control over the naming and judging of experience, and how we as teachers impose significance on events, and in the process teach children how to do the same.

urgent message

by steve valk

From the very beginning the project was framed by myself and Z-Score as a model or prototype which would manifest a new surface of awareness a generative ecology of ideas. This prototypic manifestation would serve as an alternative experiential model for the field of choreography and dance as it is now understood.
