The 8th work-session of International Art Resource "The Song of Songs"

1. The principle of the resource
International Art Resource «The Song of Songs» is based on the principles of theatre observatory. Creative centre of the Resource and its work material is «The Song of Songs» - the text from the Old Testament. The field of text, its embodiment in different cultures, Old Slavonic and other language recensions, and in the first place the Word itself as Sacred define the unique connection of image and art form of its embodiment. The work with Art Resource may take different forms: singing, work on text, dance, performance, cinema, organization etc., thereby it defines personal intention of artist in compliance with the Image of the «Song of Songs», and actualizes its personal knowledge as Love, Serving and Art, which are put into art form.

2. «The Song of Songs» is professional project-resource, assigned for people, who have chosen theatre as a way of development, not only as school, but also as artistic space, where it is possible to set practical questions about purpose of theatre, about connection of a human being and knowledge: new resource as possibility of impossible.

3. The uniqueness of the Resource relates to the problems of word and voice. Perhaps anything else besides the voice does not pass the quality of consciousness and its perspectives. For the modern world which is conditioned by the information environment and which risks in principle to lose the notion of word and voice as a natural way of connection between human being and God, human being and world and another one – it is one of the possibilities of development and education.

4. Each session is a gathering of the whole Resource, dedicated to a certain art theme or question.

5. In strict sense of the word we can call ‘Resource’ only that what carries in itself the quality of Image, which takes off boundaries of national distinction, this what can be opened in access in other culture, that what can be perceived and assimilated by another person.

6. By this quality the Resource differs from master-class or workshop. The resource primarily assumes that what participant proposes for common work.

7. The 8th session is focused primarily on theatre work, on practical problems of the relationship of word and voice and  actors' technologies of performing.

8. The session will be made in frames of preparation to making the performance on the basis of a four-year experience of work of International Art Resource «The Song of Songs». The process of the creation of the performance will occur in 2011-2012.
