Hello Space List! :-)
We have organised an Ost event in İstanbul last Saturday,
It was on “Youth, Businesslife and Transformation” and took place at
İstanbul Bilgi University.
It was a part of a youth festival which gathered communities with a sense of
joy and responsibility.
The one day event started with a music and dance performance, a dancer and a
musician met for the first time and improvised . This was like a market
place of 2 people. People who watched them could attend the performance
after a while. The dancer helped people to do some exercises which were
funny and relaxing. The dance was a bit like Tetsuro Fukuhara’s Space
dance.. . I don’t know if Fukuhara was ever discussed at this list. In 2002
i met him in Istanbul when I was directing a culture and art programme at a
tv channel, I interviewed with him and attended to his workshops . I can
say, what he is into is really Open Space - Making Peace with the space –
with dance!
This is the second time we organise an OST event this way, and the result is
really interesting. I want to share that most of the people found it very
useful, before the discussions, making peace with the space, and their
bodies relaxed them and they enjoyed a lot. Today an attendant told me that
it was the first time for her to express all that she wanted in a meeting
and told that after the event she couldn’t sleep all night. She said “ i
wanted to dance all night, i was very creative and talkative, now the people
wish to see me like that all the time.”
I also participated the dance. After the whole event, we were very tired, i
came home and thought that i would just sleep, but i watched Tv, done some
work, and i was like i haven't done anything. (Coincidentally or not, when i
came home i watched Nadia Komanachi’s documentary about gymnastics, a
documentary on 50’ies Sports life in Spain, and a part of the movie
“Solaris” of Tarkovsky. :-)))))
After dance, people discussed about these.. we guess dance inspires a lot.
a summary...
• Free Body, Free mind. Being in our body at business.
• New styles at business. The firms who let their workers do nothing for
some hours
• What makes us want to sleep more
• The eating disorders
• The global village
• The system, the way we look at the what we call as “systems”,
transformation of our “way of look”
• The main problem as “production” . Are we crazy about producing
• The artistic and intellectual production
• The movie “the Sunny Mondays”
• Our only job is living! Why do we live to work?
• Post modernism
• New styles at businesslife. Would the new styles become a controlling
mechanism after a while.
• The technological improvements and the decrease of our body performance.
• Why are we responsible to know more than our main branch of interest.
• What happened when the Marxist movement couldn't get the result.
Bohemia, tramps..
• Paris “passage” issue. The production being exhibited. Fashion and
business.
• The supermarket scenes. The movies of natural disasters.
• The advertisement that want us to believe “we choose”
• The need for relationship
• The jobs that are peaceful
The global village
• Cultures of peace
• The negative sides of Andersen's tales
• The 50’s, the health
• Open Space Technology
You can have a look at some of the photos of the first Ost event we did this
way, with kadikoyweb, an internet company. It was after a short movie
festival. The first part of the event took part at the movie theather,
after watching the movies people watched a dance performance, and they were
called to participate the dancer and go for some exercises to open their
senses. It was a very productive ost event and some people who hated
eachother before communicated like old friends :-)

Not to take anything away from what you all have done (wonderful!!!) But I
do have to say that Open Space and Dance have been together for a long time,
if there ever was a time that they separated. Which I doubt! One
participant/friend early on said, "I have been to a lot of programs that HAD
a dance, but this one IS a dance!" Thanks!
