Creativity Workshop-Art as Ritual 212.387.0464

		12 - Week Creativity Workshop Art As Ritual Creativity Workshops teach us to unleash creative influences and potentials through a variety of rituals. Rituals are the underlying structures that define how we function and think. By replacing negative or unconscious rituals with ones that are designed to tap into our creative forces, we begin to manifest a life that is centered on creativity and productivity.The rituals and processes used in this workshop also examine the origins of our critical judgment and work to transform paralyzing behavior into the joyous act of creation. No previous art experience is necessary.

This power of synthesis, characteristic of art, actualizes itself in the opening of the limited to the unlimited, of individual existence to universal significance. This link with the universal was at one time very much a part of religious rites, and it can also be found in ancient theater. There may not be any significant difference between art and ritual, if, as the English author Jane E. Harrison writes, 'It is at the outset one and the same impulse that sends a man to church and to the theater." *Daisaku Ikeda* Presents a Creativity Salon Art As Ritual presented by Stephanie Annette Foxx Monday April 25, 2005 6:30-8:30 p.m. New York Public Library Mid-Manhattan Branch 455 FIFTH AVENUE (between 40th - 41st) NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10016 If you want to find the event listing for April on the web page go to "nypl.org," choose "LOCAL LIBRARIES," choose "EVENTS," choose "Local Libraries' Calendar," for location choose "Mid-Manhattan Library," for day choose "April 25 - Monday," you do not have to choose the type of audience or program, click"Show Events" and the program information should appear.
