Nell Teare, Lora Nigro/Kevin Rutkowski, Sascha Seifert, Nick Day The creative arts are intrinsic to consciousness. From the earliest cave paintings through 100,000 years of storytelling, drumming and dance rituals to modern film, music and art, we humans have used images, sound, movement and language to transmit knowledge, elicit emotions, explore inner and outer worlds and intensify conscious awareness. Part two of this workshop continues the exploration of consciousness and the arts by going further behind the scenes, looking at universal artistic forms of language and structure that are concealed within the work, e.g. the hero's journey in film and novels, variation or sonata form in music, or the rule of thirds in painting and photography. We look at how a filmmaker engages an audience viscerally rather than intellectually. We will also examine the potential impact of social media on consciousness. Finally, we explore what deeper truths are being expressed in the act of creation, and how archetypes point to universal qualities embedded in consciousness. Could artistic creativity emerge from a Platonic realm in deeper, more fundamental levels of reality?
Nell Teare will discuss the efficacy of visceral imagery, dialogue, music and light in film. Art, that is true and specific to the artist, reaches more people than a general idea. I employ this in the creation of my shots and characters. I believe that creating art through specific experience and understanding, allows people to tap into a collective consciousness that is intrinsic to the Universe. Consciousness is an energy that comes through us to produce the world, tangible and intangible. When we experience something viscerally versus intellectually, we connect to what it means to exist. Nell is a writer, director, producer, actor and choreographer. She holds a BFA from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. Nell has directed over thirty projects andhas performed in hundreds of productions in this country and abroad. She is also a commissioned painter and lives in Hollywood.
Art Imitating Consciousness
Lora Nigro & Kevin Rutkowski — Art relies on the “ moving relation between individual consciousness and the world,” as Muriel Rukeyser characterized. Our presentation will touch on the collaborative and unconscious processing in filmmaking and songwriting underscoring the creative direction that shapes the long short documentary, The Deeper You Go, The Interviews. How does this classic, intimate cinematic technique and stream of consciousness approach inform the debate on consciousness and proliferate the conversation? Filmmaker Lora Nigro is the creative director at 11thstory and a freelance writer, media designer, songwriter, recording artist and jewelry designer. Her collaborative partner, Kevin Rutkowski is a music composer and film editor who also teaches creative media at Milwaukee Area Technical College.

Nick Day — What storytelling reveals about the deeper nature of consciousness. The emergence of language and the capacity for storytelling can be considered fundamental to our becoming human. Our brains seek meaningful patterns —“ the story” —in everything we see, hear or sense. Storytelling favors survival by activating a powerful inner world of association and meaning, helping us to empathize with others, successfully navigate the external world and develop abstract ideas. Nick Day explores what 100,000 years of storytelling reveals about the deeper nature of consciousness. He also looks at the role of archetypes and myths, and the transformational potential of film. Nick Day is an award-winning filmmaker, screenwriter and international speaker on consciousness, storytelling and cinema. He brought the biggest gathering in the history of humanity – India’s Kumbh Mela —to audiences worldwide with the critically acclaimed Shortcut to Nirvana. Nick is producer of The Consciousness Chronicles and host of TSC’s daily show, Consciousness Central. Website: http://conscious-pictures.com
