Sprint/2023/Notes Rasa

Rasa Alksnyte is a transdisciplinary artist, photographer, teacher and mentor based in Belgium. Through her background in performing arts, she has an ability to take you by surprise. Her mind is filled with rarities and working practices that extends beyond expected frameworks and boxes. She often surrounds herself with energy that inspires others to play, experiment, cook and garden. By gently assisting she encourages and opens up other artists to face difficult questions, find solutions and strive for a higher creative level. In her work with children Rasa doesn’t teach but tries to fill their heads with rainbows, self-made toys and sweetness. When facilitating groups Rasa Alksnyte helps participants to take small steps forward and connect separate images in one beautiful picture. Rasa works with everything that grows and grows and grows…

Session about About Tuesday 14th of March

Grounding arriving exercise Looking intensively at one thing (combined with free thought writing)

-Where are you coming from (physical/mental space, project, emotion...)?

-What are you bringing with you (thought, exercise, knowledge, expertise...)?

-What are your expectations for the coming days?

Each participant answers the questions. Others write keywords on small pieces of paper. When everyone is done with answers we look at the keywords and form clusters. All the duplicates are rolled up and places aside.

We split in 4 groups to formulate questions from the keywords of the cluster. Every 13 min we switch groups. One person stays to update the next participants on the things discusses in the group.
