Duende: The Golden Dark
'All that has black sounds has duende.' Manuel Torre, as quoted by Federico Garcia Lorca. Duende is a term used to describe artistry empowered from the awareness of death. Using Jungian Alchemical, and neo-Freudian models, and illustrated with film clips and slides, this lecture discusses ideas of darkness and its different dimensions in psychoanalytic practice, ending with a case study of a suicidally depressed artist's transformation.

AS ABOVE, SO BELOW; AS WITHIN, SO WITHOUT
We are our charts!! The planets and signs manifest through us and can be seen in line, form, color, images and archetypes…and in our bodies. These classes are a study of the systems of correspondences crucial to doing good astrological work, and will take your interpretation skills up a notch by giving you the key to seeing just how specific planetary and sign energy is.
May 14
ART AND THE CHART
One of the easiest places to see this in artwork.
We’re going to look at a number of artists, famous and not, and see how their artwork manifests their chart, both in terms of formal elements (line, form, color) as well as archetypal themes.
May 16
SATURDAY WORKSHOP 12-5
WHAT SHAPE ARE YOU IN?
Literally...what shape are you in? This workshop combines the way astrology manifests in artwork with the way it manifests in our bodies. We will review the basic characteristics of art elements and astrology, with an emphasis on color systems. Then we will go into the basic information about the physical characteristics of the signs and planets, correlating them. We'll look at different people, both famous and not, to see how they express their astrological energies in how they look and practice differential diagnosis with them. Through exercises using the material, you will see how this works for you and your chart. |
