Arts: Direction: Glen Workshop, Santa Fe, NM, midsummer July 31-Aug 7, 2005

Spiritual Direction & Workshops in the Arts, originally uploaded by Anaximaximumphotographics.

Thanks for the Hat Tip from Image: Art, Faith, Mystery, a journal of religious humanism (not Christian commitment as such, o the strange uses of "humanism"!) in regard to the annual Glen Workshop which this year will feature: Carmelite Father, David Denny (Spiritual Direction); B. H. Fairchild (Poetry), Andrew Hudgins (Poetry), Paul Huston (Spiritual Writing), Paulene Hutton (Playwriting & Screenwriting), Barry Krames (Mixed Media), Laura Lasworth (Watercolor), Erin McGraw (Fiction), Barry Moser (Life Drawing), Over-the-Rhine (Musicians-in-Residence), Elmer Yazzie, presenting a seminar, "Native American Art and the Christian Tradition."

The annual event is co-sponsored by Christians in Visual Arts (CIVA) and Christians in Theatre Arts (CITA). I've performed plenty in theatres - with Desrosiers Dance Theatre Company; and, on my own initiative, in Monday Nites Poetry Theatre. To me, CITA's name has the feel of an all-too-academic provenance. Otherwise, the more embracing "Christians in Performing Arts" (CIPA, to keep the cymbolic cymmetry co-ing) would shurely have been embraced (don't you think)? - the idea that a lot of performance is out of the box for sometime now and into the streets, the pubs, the parks, the whatnot?. Whatever, do scroll down the right-hand margin to the live-links for these two organizations and click-up their online sites. - Owlb
