about locating our pains as a means of power

embodiment = an entrypoint into systems change]]> 2022-07-03 16:26:54 UTC https://padlet.com/justicevonmaur/i1sopc2bcatov379/wish/2235899225 justicevonmaur https://padlet.com/justicevonmaur/i1sopc2bcatov379/wish/2235899334 Definition:
Emergentheatre is a black feminist systems change theory

Lineage (3 big ideas):
1. Black feminist thought: the HOW is as important as the WHAT
2. Emergent strategy: small shapes big and vice versa
3. Performance theory: humanness is a set of iterated performances

Seeds:
1. To make better theatre we must be better people
2. (Emergen)theatre can be used to make us better people
3. What is the 'root' of theatre?
4. How to make emergent strategy practice-able?

Through the duality of pain and power, I have tapped into a love so fierce that I want to reclaim theatre and simultaneously burn it to the ground. brown suggests that “perhaps humans’ core function is love” and I agree. Why else do theatremakers like myself show up again and again to, as brown phrases it in the context of social justice organizing, “work tirelessly with broken hearts?” - JvM]]> 2022-07-03 16:34:53 UTC https://padlet.com/justicevonmaur/i1sopc2bcatov379/wish/2235901204 justicevonmaur https://padlet.com/justicevonmaur/i1sopc2bcatov379/wish/2235901919 The newest in the Emergent Strategy series, Susan Raffo's Liberated to the Bone "addresses the intersections between healing our physical bodies and healing our social relations which are shaped by violence."

We have felt them all already. We have hidden that fact that in the same place where we have hidden our power." - Audre Lorde]]> 2022-07-03 16:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/justicevonmaur/i1sopc2bcatov379/wish/2235902732 justicevonmaur https://padlet.com/justicevonmaur/i1sopc2bcatov379/wish/2235904416 “We may unconsciously be acting out ways of being that actually align with a belief system that we feel is outdated or unjust"

“Embodiment, to me, is being aware of our bodies. How we actually feel, the actual sensations that happen inside of us. There’s so much that’s going on all the time and so many of us are numbed out to it. So, embodiment is being aware of that but it’s also being aware of the practices, the habits that we have deeply rooted inside of us and that we act out in the world all the time.”

"it’s really critical... for us to heal so that we don’t keep replicating the same power dynamics that leave so many people out. Embodiment is a way for us to change holistically…”

Founder Arawana Hayashi writes SPT seeks to bring forth our "embodied knowing” as human beings, tapping into the innate intelligence that comes from feeling equally or more than thinking. When we feel, Hayashi writes, we are able to “co-create with each other the systems in which we live and work.”
