a short experiences of 

"Kechak Tribuana "
of Balinese tradition

what is Tribuana theater?

All participants will be invited to participate tribuanicly (=with movement, voice and thought) there will be a short playful introduction of preparation in proposition for those who eager to "participate tribuanicly": physically, voice and movement, in order to share the useful "offering" to the TIME PRESENTation. But if you prefer to be observer in that moment of life, you are welcome to watch, to look, look for  ...something, look after a presentation. Silence, observation is the ticket to be in a performance. Since i am not intend to do a show, but more a way to share, so please take this as a "search", an opening, a possibility. An experience will left in participants "something" that will last long or short, it is depend on parameter:
1: what you offer: observation, silence, voice, movement... to express your meaning of life.
2:what you offer, what you do, ....it can be regarded as element of your expression in tribuana: body movement, voice, and text/thought/interpretation.
3:The quantity and quality of participation, deepness, total or partial, elegant or honest, ...
4: ....etc.
So, happy to share together in a musical mood of Mediterraneo on a plate of Balinese tradition by the way of TriBuana (three worlds of human) digestion & expression.
Let's fly with eagle eyes all over the blue planet earth. Now possible by internet and tablet.
Ahh, observing now, in this time, on earth, our dear blue planet with its mysterious water behavior (solid, liquid and invisible); petrol is excavated from the stomach of the earth, some country have chance to have it, being transform from dessert into human made "paradise" demonstrated exhibition of art of creation; Palm oil tree destroying virgin forest with all creature living there: human and animal, human brain linking itself by internet that need all type of phone and tablet, earth temperature is growing up as human temperament too, anger is spreading easily from your liver, liver's duty to clean wasted cells, human looking for quick-cheap-enjoyment  in sex and drogue; that two last element lead human to addiction and lost control; religion being use in politic to articulate interest, war is inevitable when speech of crystal mind has no more power to transform human need, behavior, habit, character....destiny.
This occasion that is offered by this Festival will give us a mirror of tribuanic symphony orchestra (speaking in concordance of Festival mood: music). Yes music can cool the mind and crystalize thought that may be produce "light", where we may mirroring ourselves in/through each other. This conclusion will be tempted to be present on Saturday the 14th at Palazzo Ducale. Again there, we need your participation, i will be there as servant, as pro-poser, offerer, open a way ...tribuanicly so the winged thought (=birds-human) will fly together to meet their .... queen, king, master, guide, Buddha, Jesus, Mohammad, Ra, X, Y Z, ..... the one that in multiple presentation everlastingly in trans-formation....

The birds of ATTAR and Tribuana way in "conference".

During this "conference" i will try to introduce a bit of Conference of the bird of ATTAR from Persia, the Theatrical form i did participate as actor in 1979-1980 with world tour to New York, Australia and many country of Europe. 
here is a video link in youtube, when we were in Australia performing in open space
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHCpTBQQxhs
Tribuana is a way that spring from my Balinese tradition+personal life experiences.
I remember during the creation in Paris/Festival Avignon 1979, Peter Brook, the Director, said to us:" one day, when we get old, very old, we will perform again this Conference ......"
But now, thanks to Festival Musicale de Mediterraneo, Davide Ferrari invite me to come to share with you all,  a taste, a need, a moment of life that hope can spring inner smile.... in you.
I will bring 4 theatrical texts of Conference written by Jean Claude Carriére (translated in italian) .. may be, not to be read integrally ... but as reference, a launching plat form to fly in search of .......  SIMORGH
one self
one in all,
all in one.
So i beg you all, please be ready to participate, it is just a new opening toward a search: what type of performance, of enjoyment, of sharing we need to create for human on earth, while seeing other side of this round turning planet earth is possible also by technological eye-bird of internet connection.
thanks tablet.
steve job & Mac Apple. etc.



A bit of wondering, wandering, pondering:

What is Kechak Tribuana experiences? and meeting of birds & Tribuana in conferences ?

Every body present as "usual/habitual/common spectators" is invited to participate, as this experiences will be a party of participants, inspired and guided/built by us all, so it's progression depend on us, depend on what we offer to this present-time. This very present time in our era of democracy, it is moment to declare in action, speech, thought how to live and to feed that democracy (Greek invention, like Olympic games, ...etc).
Sharing what is your intension to offer, to make a concert together, where everything is being questioned, being mixed, the meeting of means, the meeting of played instruments in concert. Where is the musical partition, It is.... biologically present, to be discovered freshly and smilely to interlock with other's rhythm ....chak , chak , chak. To enjoy and to taste the immediate product, the expression, the sound, movement/dance, the voice, ... to ponder and to consider the criteria of satisfaction. To understand the aim, the search.
So: observe the means, understand the aim and examine the criteria of satisfaction.
Let it be, flow with the moment. Drive and enjoy together.

Ok, here is a bit of story of Kechak i know, as i am Balinese born and grew in balinese tradition; origin from Denpasar (born in 1945, sept.21st.);
Once, in ancient time of Balinese tradition, when a village was threatened by illness, contagious illness, bad spirit, crops/plantations gives no fruits, so all the village member gathered together in village temple, there they ....chak chak chak ..... From the sound, just with one sound (CHAK) that they offer to their community gathering will make a "cosmic concert" of joy, awaken the happy energy to share, it can be like an action of vaccination, dream-party, healing ritual, .....etc, why not;
 It is up to us, NOW, participants to move our inner understanding, our knowledge, energy, means, to a celebrated moment of sharing. Time is TIME, we can not buy time even in hyper super market.

Our third millennium need a brain concert-symphony, as all thought lodge now inter-net-ly joined in common understanding into action, one moment of action, for peaceful way, even just a few minutes in rhythm and harmony, if there are inner smile, can be an everlasting memories.
Where there is a will there will be a way.
Memories never get old, for memories contains no time. So to make it so, let's create together a moment of life, a "painting of phonetic memories", or a "bio-CD recorder", that can be reproduced in life time, by remembering, the member,  in a hand's clap, or fingers click. Yes, be modest and be happy as far as hands can grasp, hand to comprehend.
Enjoying the balance of the moment present is aware of past and future now in action.
21st september is declared by UNITED NATION
as worlds peace day.
There must be a moment where internationally we celebrated it together in a space, and when we will have a Palazzo Rosso, in Genova, on 10th september 2013, it can be a moment to celebrate together, for september was charged by strong memories too.
So if by chance we meet together, glad to share, and as a glance looking for the moment to share, before looking after our Kechak experiences, please see in some youtube video CHAK, KECHAK of Bali, you will find how to CHAK your voice/sound to produce a voice/phonic-offering and share during that meeting, that can be a celebration, if you'll make it so, together.
Another sound to remember, may be:
yang, nggir, yang nggur, yang nggér, yang sirrr.
tit, poung, tit, sirrr,
But those just some Balinese syllables, of a song that can be not Balinese, you are invited to offer your sacred syllable, invented one, in that moment, since sound has no passport if you sing it as music. So hope to share and enjoy together, I'll be there as "servant", guide, or what ever you regard me, i'll try to let you get what you want .... but, remind us a song:" you can't always get what you want. So, may be changing the criteria of  satisfaction, with gentle adaptation: you can always get what you want.
As the birds in conference in an opening sunny morning day, for a journey, long or short, a space of Mediterranean festival is offered. Mysteriously, promising something to rejoice. Mystery is incomprehensible as mysteriously we are in it.
When our mind has wings, then like birds will tell us a story of a journey.

Tribuana way, tribuana lessons, tribuana school, tribuana workshop

Tribuana theater of life - Workshop:

"To awaken and to cultivate the expression

of the Three Worlds of human:

Thought, Energy of life, Body "

up dated 5 May 2013

Tribuana Way in French, klick here please.

My opinion: in Bali, the actors behave like servants. They serve "something", they bring into life a story, or a character, or an object, which must be honoured. In Tribuana way, an actor also gives life a song, a movement. This means that the story (or other “served thing”) is more important, more interesting, contain higher value than themselves. The story/the “thing” has already a “life”. The “hi-story” includes a better knowledge, wisdom, as well as a natural path (visible or invisible, comprehensible or incomprehensible) to follow, to celebrate, to honour.

In order to reveal this life (this mystery), the actors must mobilize all their resources, their capacity to give life, to re-incarnate those things into performed living presentation.

The work consists to wake up, to be aware, to cultivate and to unify the expression of the three worlds (body, energies of life, and thought) in order to arrive to a total expression through deep solution, cleverly intellectual, scientific and also sharply intuitive, analytical and global at the same time. Of course we cannot always reach those ideal-parameter, but important to be in the path that lead us to ideal destination. To be understood, that a destination will lead to the next one, and so on and on.

The history must be carrying the three natural, creative and generating ingredients:

1. It cultivates the intelligence in a creative way in the way of the harmony; therefore, it must make people more intelligent, a bright clear brain quality.

2. It gives a long life to its essence, its existence will last beyond its presence, longer than its physical life, beyond the emotion, beyond this earthy energy of life.

3. It must have the transforming (magical) effect, it transforms the actor/ the actress, the spectators and the surround (the world, "three worlds")

The field of exploration includes 27 lessons:(from n°: 0-26)

lesson n°0 is PREP. About PREP, klick here please.

1. Silat Tribuana (based on martial arts from Indonesian Pencak Silat, I translate it as the art of survival). To foresee for this lesson, preferable to dress in white (white trousers and white T-shirt if it is possible). My Silat vocabulary come from memories of my uncle guru silat : I Nyoman Siki (younger brother of my father) in the 1950's, in Denpasar, and later I started Silat PGB Bangau Putih (White Crane Silat of Bogor, Indonesia, Subur Raharja) with Rendra Bengkel Teater Jogjakarta in 1970's, when we were preparing for Macbeth, where i played Macthbeth that time. I continued PGB Bangau Putih with Palisandra Finger , one of the 18 international heirs if PGB from French, designed by Master Subur Raharja, the founder.)

2. Tai Chi Tribuana (awareness of the movements, profound attention, carrying out to the conscience of the physical articulation and energy = chi=prana=Ki in a natural flow). Klick here among some video I made.

3. Chi Kung Tribuana (of the exercises: physical and mental carrying out to the conscience of precious fine yet powerful energy and very subtle which animates life and cosmos)

4. Koukoul Djagat, the work of percussions inspired by the Kodo (Japanese drum) to exert the work a ritualistic manner on rhythm, endurance, force, voices of the Three Worlds. The instrument KodoTribuana must be built. Klick here to see a video.

5. Yoga Tribuana: being in a static posture, to wake up sensitivity and be aware of breathing and sensation, which makes it possible to feel the first natural interior impulse, which carries out an actor to the action and the realization. Yoga tribuana can lead into exposing the statue of your divinity or demonity, vegetal, animal, spirit.

6. Pranayama Tribuana, exercises of breathing; inspiration and expiry of energy (to perceive and try out various kinds of energies);

7. Daily practice of some exercises of Taoist health. This exercise engages: the image, the movement, the sound and mental activities in link with the energy of life such as emotions, the organs of digestion, the 5 elements, the colours... etc). Klick here for a video.

or this one, to klick, six healing sound. 

8. TongkatTribuana:The work of the stick; the actors handle the stick and play with by repeating some precisely determined movements. The exercise of the stick is inspired by the martial arts for the aim of warming-up, health maintenance, work in group, meditation, and to awaken the feeling to be "ready to follow" (in the direction where the actor must serve, follows and gives life to a character or a story). The participant invited to bring with them a stick (of wood ) 35 mm in diameter, a length equal to that which separates the feet from the eyebrows (third eye).

etc. 

9. Mask work. Mask is considered as personal belonging, personal instrument of expression and considered as sacred object. Participants are suggested to bring their personal mask. 

A Ritual of taking off a mask: klick here.http://tapasudana.blogspot.fr/2006/01/mask-ritual-balinese-approach-i-gede.html

Mask ritual (taking off) inspired by my Balinese tradition, see video. 

10. Puppet, Objects (props), like tools of expression or accessory to tell a history.

11. Work with the musical instrument /percussion

12. Kéchak: The story of kechak from Bali was a vocal chorus of all the villagers who take part in this dance/ trance of Bali, for goal to move away the contagious mortal diseases, negative/ destructive energy, or the natural disaster who threaten to destroy the life of the people, animal or vegetal. This "chorus/ dance" in Sanghyang “dance ritual” from Bali, will give the possibility to the actors to work on the voice, on the collective rhythms, on the conscience and the energy of the group. It is a work on the harmonization, wakes up personal cosmic energy in a group for cures, for joy, for healthiness, for happiness of the life. Nowadays, this Kechak dance has become a very popular tourist attraction.

13. Ethnic music. The actor is moved, danced and by ethnic music, by singing songs from various countries could be developed into improvisation. Ethnic song as theme of improvisation for movement and story to improvise. The sound of an ethnic instrument carries ethnic treasure, ancient seeds to taste and to grow.

14. Bayu Swara, a work on the sacred syllables - the sound – personal inner voice: to find, to give birth to a syllable each day. A syllable corresponds to a sound and is made up of only one vowel and 1 to 4 consonants. The progression of this work, the composition of the syllable, develops in such a way that the first day syllable will give birth to the syllable of the second day; the syllable/ the reality of the second day gives life to the syllable/reality of the third day, etc.To feel the "magic power" of sacreed syllable is to recite it repeatedly, to "che" it well, to move it in the body in an intense meditative way/celebration; space, time and situation/micro climate of working space is determinat parameter for the awakening of tha magic power.

See video Bayu Swara Tribuana, klick here.

15. Autumn leaves or crystal thought tribuana. To meditate on (to contemplate) short sentences which are to be regarded as the crystal of the thought, fruits of contemplation. To reflect and exchange opinions, to discuss subject/ problem in a group, all these activities are the field where the thought can be cultivated and involved in order to produce a common theatrical language, a common creation based on common understanding/comprehension, clarify the common destination/goal in action.

Here some video i made in french http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MR2vtcWzXQ&list=UU5xw1uvzrjiZIyri1I6i0AQ&index=1  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErLfNm4Vhkg

Cristal thought in Italian, english, spanish, french http://theatretribuana.blogspot.fr/2006/04/sparkling-italian-words-spanish-words.html

16. A work in the group and on the group: aware of oneself being member of a group, to remember, serving the centre of the common interest of the group, it is necessary to know "the magic and mysterious thing which binds us together", to feel the common energy, the common impulse/ common intension, which will give rise (realise) a story to tell, which will be then shared publicly. Aware of one common “thing/energy/story” to develop; at the same time the actors remain open, alert, sincere, essential, therefore simple and direct. To understand/to comprehend "theatrically" is to be, is an action (with or without accessory) of a definite comprehension/interpretation that being expressed in a living way. A tribuanic-actor who says, "I understood", they must be able to make it, to carry out their comprehension into action.

17. A work on improvisation, common creation, that relate with the work in/on a group. In this work 3 steps must be considered well: 1, knowing/comprehending the participants, 2, creating a common theatrical language and 3, choosing/working on “subject” in common to serve/to feed it together that link the member of the group, that must be honoured, that is more important then themselves during that improvisation.

18. Story telling, story which are told by participants, or by myself, who will give place then to improvisations. To find a common language to explore and build together. To give life to a story consists in finding together the inner impulse of the story inside us, a work where the sharing is experienced.

19. TOTEM Tribuana A totem is a material composition, in tribuanic manner which one develops by adding object/something to the previous composition; the work is like feeding everyday reality. Totem will be visited any moment, could be presented the last day of the workshop in open door session. The totem can be personal or collective. The totem can be made inside or outside in the nature. A totem can find its origin or/and initiated by a place or by an idea, which needs objects to make it real. It is a work to find the spirit of the objects, the energy of a place, the magic of a building, a charismatic present.

To see video and image of totem tribuana, klick here.

Visiting totem out side at Ermocolle tribuana 2012, video...klick.

20. TRIPASS. When the spirit of the totem concentrates on a piece of paper, it becomes an image, a drawing in one page and series of syllable in the next page, which is built with the passing days by daily adding a form or a line of colour and a sacred syllable. It is what is called: the Compact Disk of the personal identity or Diskette or Tribuana Passport (Tripass).

Klick for a video.

21. An introduction to ritual, by honouring the instruments of work, workspace and environment. A place where we work will be called and transform into:DO JO in Japanese way or MARGA PURA in Balinese words. The place is regarded as a place where one cultivates a way of life/a path of life, cultivate a way / manner of being. Each one takes care the place of work, and share/ participate its maintenance, to clean it, to put it in order before and after the work together. The preparation Marga Pura is depend on the work/lesson to come, and it will develops the work of group and awaken the sense of awareness and responsibility.

22. Bayu Panah, is inspired by Kyu-Do of Japanese ceremonial archery. This work needs bow (Japanese bow of bamboo ideally) and arrow and target, or we may use elastic to replace the present of bow. Students need to bring those instruments. There are some sequences of movement to be repeated every time in a ceremonial and intense-concentrate way. Total awareness is to be developed.

Once, i did used Kyu Do in my one man show in Roma 1992. Klick to video.

23. Questionnaire-Tribuana: working on expression (in writing) of three parts of life-time: PAST (what are your ancestral heritage, c.v, education, important workshop being done, important accident, past important experiences); Present (job for living, what are you doing now in present living-time, what do you like to explore among 26 "lessons"); FUTURE (what are you like to be in the future, your dreams, your ideal goal in life .... have the courage and sincerity to express not being afraid or shy to write if your were able or not able to reach it).

The past will make you sure to be present, and the future will attrack the present, hopefully with joy, naturally. For that, there are work to do, to find, to create together. Describing what you carry, is opening oneself to others? How much, how deep, what part of you is being opened-shared (please take off the judgement beforehand). To know others is wisdom, to know oneself is awareness/illumination. Little opening, little sharing. Superficial opening (expression) = superficial sharing (perception). Questionnaire must be sent by mail before the workshop to me, so I can accompany participants to prepare the "meeting", and to serve better each other. This lesson n°23 naturally will lead the creation of lesson n° 25: Post Notes tribuana in progression/ evolution, step by step, as Quest TB too.

24. Dialogue (Mekekawin) with Tapa, mirroring, personal exchange, speak about your personal question, personal quest, or speak and work about whatever you feel that Tapa can be useful for you. Not an obligation, but Tapa would like to honor your present and exchange opinion, hint of life, work on specific subject. What to be said during dialogue or multilogue is in preference to do it with attitude of "offering", to offer a sentence, a speach, with awareness that others will accept it or not. This attitude was ispired by my Balinese tradition: mehatur = to offer = also means to speak. ... Time of Dialogue, to be decided during the workshop during the pose/break.

25. Post-note tribuana. This field/lesson tribuana was born after Easter Retreat at Casa Natura Alpenise, Cima Grappa, Italia, 28 march-1 april 2013. 

Here one exemple, klick.

26. Gerak nuraga, Olah Nuraga, Gerak Pranatman, ... Microcosmic dance ?

This field to explore as lesson, as exercise, as ritual, as food, tribuana food, seems to me came from my past research in Jogyakarta, with Bengkel Teater Rendra, that time, 1970, Bengkel called it "Gerak Indah" = "Artistic/beautiful movement" for the first groups, and then with Rendra's second group we explored "Gerak Nurani", Inner voice movement. In my memories, may be i have introduced and have done exploration on this work in Athens, in an archelogical ancient ruin, late afternoon before sundown, with tribuana participants. For this work space climate/ambience is important as part of the guide. Every participants will bloom their atmic-bud, grain, in their own spring time. To start this work , we need to initiate it from lesson n° 0: Prep, a kind of Zero state mind meditation. Vegetarian is a step to maintain, and has been started before, to purify the fine inner impulse that open-spring a posture, into movement, into voice, into image, into word .. sentences ... it is a celebration. The 5 vows is mastering the moment. The criteria of cosmic symphony is being formed at that very moment, in evolution, togetherness. (to be continued) 

It is impossible to do all these 27 lessons (0-26) during the workshop, but we may explore and taste each of it during the first 2 days, and then you are free to work deeper on one or some of them. How? We will decide it together with the time, space, and instruments.

In a retreat tribuana (different from workshop tribuana) participants will actively participate the cooking of the "lesson" to invited. Together prepare the food, cleaning and preparing the space, the instruments of the work to bring and to share, ..... together to open to share, step by step. Please be aware of the ripeness of your opening, the manner how to link with others, observe the means, understand the aim (step by step), examine the criteria of satisfaction (of right or wrong momentarily);

If the theatre is the "diamond of the life", its goal should be to crystallize the experience of life into luminous shared memory. Memory creates vocabulary, language and instruments of expression. By awaken and cultivating the expression of the "three worlds" (tribuana = body, energy, thought), we follow the way of the harmony with nature, adapting their reality to the needs of the space, time and situation. Situation, micro climate that we create together.

An actor (Tri Buana) must be in good health (tribuanicly), in the way of harmony, in order to be able to animate the story (which animates them) and to offer it to the public that came to share the authentic account of the hi-story.

Brahman signifies the imperishable supreme. The realm of the SELF is the pure clear liberated essence of ones being. To ACT is to be on the way of the manifestation of the creative process, which leads the invisible BEING to existence.

Inspired by Bhagavad Gita, song VIII, 3.

Tribuana Logo, theater of life

Tribuana triangle,

Can be also a sign and a way to see reality and to find answer of a question.

The 3 points of: perceptions, digestion or reflexion and expression or transmission or sharing. From one point/angle/door enter information, material to digest, to consume. The second point tell you to digest, to work on what you got in you. The third point invites you to express, to share, to let it flow for the health of your nature. To let it flow after doing a work of inner transformation. What do you do with all you got, how to transform the gain? The gain is whatever you get, what you eat, what you percept by your 5 perceptions/5 senses. This Tribuana triangle is the head part of human body, the computer that process to produce criteria, parameter, the useful determinant points of references how to be or not to be in life.  The head will guide, giving direction. It is up in order to be able to have lager horizon, to see better, to ponder better, to wonder better. What a wonderful pondering can be done with the support of good energy. Without good & right energy, idea can be stagnantly rotten, and it can produce illness, a feeling being having a blockage, crazy cells, and even may be a cancer?

Tribuana circle,

Symbolize the energy of life, the colourful emotions, the sad and joy of life, comedy and tragedy; it is a living manifestation of perpetual evolution, nonstop movement of evolution,  transformation of the product of merrily wedding between triangle and square, sky and earth, material and idea. Here is the house and the field of a labourer. A living laboratory where idea and matter in action, in creation to produce, inter  seducing each other in stage of theatrical life, living theatre. The actors are triangle and square at the same time spectator too. The circle is the product of actor and it’s own spectator, so meditation is in the field of action, to act and to contemplate to enjoy. Hell and paradise is a circling rotation of light and shadow.

Tribuana square,

the quadrate, the solid matter, living minerals ingredients is the means.  A firm and solid foundation on what you can be sure to stand on. Raw material to be transformed. Instruments to start a creation of life, a production. Capital material/ mass/  object. A reality to live, a starting point to create life, the deal of life.  All you have gained from the past experiences, ancestor heritage, past tradition that still maintain well life in harmony, habit, character, diploma, your knowledge, past education,  all the past time line container & notes, like musical notes to be played now, to share, to celebrate, to build the future together by wisdom guidance.

note n°6

retreat tribuana 2013

CASA NATURA

Alpenise

Cima Grappa

WHAT IS TRIBUANA THEATER OF LIFE?
PLEASE KLICK BELOW
TRIBUANA, THEATER OF LIFE

What was the hints, the guides, the natural lessons indicated by the reality that time?  Marga Pura, Do-Jo, the path of knowledge, invisible and visible path to be awaken, to be traced, to create together.
The fact that we were 11 in a house surrounded by snow, and not having possibility to go and work out side?
Except one short moment, exceptionnal, grace of moment for those who know to seize it. Thanks Phenix 4 reborn in sun and snow!!
Ground floor of the Casa Natura Alpenise there are kitche, dinning room, space for music and making puppets, object creation, animated object, anim arti.
The first floor there are dormitory, slept: Sa, An, Mat, Ros,Car,El. Near the gate: Ant, Ta.
Third floor, the barn, under the roof, there are space work, long shape, wooden floor, not enough high ceiling, and next there are room (master room ?) slept: Val, MarLu, Iv.

The program will be developed and determine by desa(space), kala(time), patra(situation/climate/ambience), 11 participants, tribuana lesson. 5 determinant parametric elements.
The name of the house guide us, how to behave like a family in a house, closed house, in a time of a year where some people celebrating Easter, a revival moment, a moment of resurrection, restitution, re new your life, your parameter of life together. Tribuana with its 25 explorations fileds  are there in the are, in my care with the other (who aware and participate in building the way, marga pura, do jo.
Every body must remember about the 5 vows tribuana and try to apply in their daily life. What to do, what to pro-pose, without imposing.
In my past "3 worlds theatrical workshop" since 1979, then grow into "tribuana theatrical workshop" (started may be around 2000), and become "tribuana theater of life" (may be started by Caroman experience 2008 ?) i slowly, very slowly understood that the lessons, the real useful daily lesson is started being applied after the workshop.
So, may be now i will add lesson n° 26 to tribuana theater of life: Post-note, reminding inner flame to share. This lesson is the continuation of questionnaire tribuana that i ask participants to send before the workshop, by mail. Ahh, haaa, technology is in the way. It become a must, if we open consciousness to the "to day world".
So, to call back the past and seize the futre, be present here now. WHat you get, is not to for get, and to continue to cultivate it now daily in its own way, adapting it in daily life. Of course not as it was before. Everything is in time, so a living thing, so it will grow even without your care; If you don't take care, ahh, you will be not up-dated? so late to translate, never in present life.
Time carries mystery, ignorance and awareness. Ha haaa, Three things to get and to forget .....
If some of you remember, please remind me, i would like to refresh memories and take lesson from the past. In that morning, before breakfast, before everybody awake, i did a group work in the kitchen, we were 5 : El, MarLu,Car, Ros,Ta.
And afterward, I did group work in circle in the dormitory first floor, we were 4,: Sa, Val, An, Ta.
And Tai chi tribuana on the 2nd floor (under the roof) with El, MarLu, Iv. It was just an initiation, start with one movement in common, inspired by one participant, and then each of them (3) develop according to their way, ability, character that will carry to their destination; I was there to accompany. I quickly noticed that diversity of perception of the movement, produce different branching of the original movement ("hara kiri" movement, cleaning movement) among 3 participants that morning.
Interesting also, reviewing the movement in 2, MarLu and Mat have done it before ("basic walking movement") show us how it is depend on each character, experience in "art of movement" tribuana. 
In order the work become lesson in the future, experiences must be done in full attention, implication tribuanicly. Even if you don't understand that very moment, just do it, give full convident, later movement reveal itself as "mysterious invisible master in action". A movement is also a mantra, magic repeated sound.
Please do correct my memories, dear participants (other 10)Thanks.

What was the lesson in those 2 groups that morning? I guess, it was the last morning of the retraite.
It was the basic lesson how to be together, how to circulate the yin and yang meridian of conception and governor. Orbit micro cosmic in every participants to share and celebrated in cosmic orbit of the group.... Kechak is a form that has been developed in Balinese tradition, now also become touristic marketing sales product, hmmm, cultural product. We try holding thumb of others in the middle of the circle...hamm; that take long time, without guided by words, i found not many people aware to use intelligently active their interpretation, what the matter asks you, what your poster propose, what your member propose you to celebrate together in evolution. Putting a side "understanding, already made understanding", putting a side "what do you want", but what is that very precise moment "wants" ? That to be evolved together, trans-form together.

When the moment of togetherness is comes to end, that how to put "your work" together? So it can produce light to share with others....it will be internet-ly link, as post-note, reminding inner flame to post e-mail-ly........

.....
hope to receive something to share in this virtual reality to realize really in life.

The light of an Easter Tribuana Retreat at Casa Natura Alpenise CIMA GRAPPA 2013

Note n°5

Easter Retreat Tribuana Casa Natura Alpenise

Cima Grappa 2013

visited  & added notes 20 avril at 8h58

How can the past carries  enlightening light?
pre-facing the faces !

When the experience of life is happening naturally, a fluke, good chance happen, when all are honoring their nature honestly to celebrate natural science that awaken the sleeping master inside you, o practitioner.
By destiny, Easter spirit was written in story of religious human path, by destiny the chance is there to find, by the work, matter become energy, energy become light, light create awareness, here and fulfilling everywhere, wyapi wyapaka, here and everywhere and fulfiling every space (εδώ και παντού και να εκπληρώνουν κάθε χώρο), you can fill a space (of brain for ex.) if there are bit of emptiness. Whenever there are emptiness there will be a will to fulfill.
A light of a candle in a room. When fire consumes all wax, when light no more, impression and smell may prolonge its present, with your permission. What is that instrument of work? Revealing action?
Rosangela showed me a bunch of little round cylindric candle saying, here Tapa i brought this bag of candle in case we need it. Yes, now, i read the past at home, yes, we did use them but not all, one, during the late night "pray" in the dining room. I remember all participants was helping with their present in serene silent, allow me to recite Greek pray:" Valisef, uranie paraklité,... to pnefma tis alisias, o panda hou paron ké ta panda pliron, ... "etc, and participants repeated the sound, part by part. Sorry for this phonetic writing. I also my 6 couplet Gayatri that i learn at school in Bali in the 1950 when I was 10 (?) a child....and 10 participants, 11 with me, recited thos Gayatri that night under one candle light floating on transparent bowl of water. Ahh, I remember , when I try to put the lighted candle on water , it sinked, and light was gone.... so a accept it so, if it was the natural fluke, ...and also there are natural fluke of Rosangela offering me he "bricket" to light the candle..... and with the sound of Tibetan singing bowl around, awaken by participants, the candle light travel around that rectangular long table.
And this morning, I woke up, realized, remember, awaken by memories that that night of pray exploration in Casa NAtura Alpenise, Cima Grappa, we sang also a "SONG", a Gita that i got it from a chinese Buddhist Yogi in Yogyakarta at Rendra Bengkel Teater...1969?, that song is named as "Mantra" (please for those who don't have this type of word in their childhood, take care to adopt a word, thanks for your understanding and tolerance). That mantra is always singing in my mind, the moment of the day, any important deep moment of perceiving life event. I heard that mantra recited in a dormitory in Belgrade, by one participant of Third theater Colosseum/meeting, in 1976, but in a very speedy way; In my may, ahh, in tribuana way, guided by lesson n°14: Bayuswara, i recited it with délice of enjoying the taste of sound produced by our body phonetic instruments, in the mouth and mind intentions, and the way is never be the same yet there are something "similar" in it. For that path of understanding, i call back a word, invited it to light our understanding before swallowing it in a hurry, the word YATRA . Voyager, in a journey walking bare foot, in procession, to a sacred place for renewing sacred path of life. The procession of steps, your steps, steps of determination that has been decided to do, the procession of sacred place visited out side or in memories of your mind to remind >>> re-member. The procession of those "sacred syllable" that Indonesien-Chinese-Buddhist offer us at Rendra Bengkel Theater in Jogyakarta in 1968 .... has tracing in me an olympic candle (not torch, i take it modestly to be able to carry in my up-grading state) never die, light of inner flame never die, that I often share with tribuana participant whenever moment ripe to honor it, to awaken and sharpen alively it sound produce by their consonant and vocal, let's try with deep attention and care, first like handling a baby in your arm of like adoring an opening of blooming flower in its spring time, syllable by syllable:  NAM MYO HO HEN GE KYO. .... bon voyage syllable, the sacred one to whom ever has the merit being visited.
I am aware now, just now, that when we were 11 at Casa NAtura, we were thought by reality that moment to follow the Casa(house) path, of Nature in you, living together with others 10 that you can count and place them in each finger of your both hands.... ahhh, how late i am to translate this message, only now.... 20 days afterward !! Shiiiittt, taik asu, merde ... Now after that 3 magic sound that i just wrote, i realize that food we took by mouth, some will go up : the essence for essential; some will go down, called fecal matter, shit, ...ahhh your shit can tell you who you are !
Some of those food renew our cells, blood for the brain most important to feed the mind, the brain, the thought, the Brahman .... some rest of not-used / wasted matter ... flow down to the sink by gracious liberated hole of anus, thanks to sphincter muscle that  has flexibility to contract and to expand/stretch considerably vast and strong; sphincter muscle also in the eyes, bladder, stomach. 
So whatever wasted and whatever used can be a good lesson to awaken the dwelling cool sleepy master in you, in other way those 2 opposite matter can kill your master too.
That moment of "meditation, pray exploration" was finish at around 3 o clock, at dawn. If my memories well kept, after that moment when everybody already asleep except two of us (we were as the "gardian of the gate dormitory" at first floor), doing the Phenix movement. We have read the conference of the bird too (of Attar, théâtralisez by Jean Claude Carriere and Peter Brook, I was doing it in world tour 1979-1980). I realized later i was in a moment of transmission. And in the next morning the transmission of the Phenix movement complete its task with another two participants in cold snow yard of Casa Natura, we we four doing the Phenix movement in four direction, two male two female in natural dress. We we embracing the white and fresh-cold sleeping water, as if we were a living skeleton in white .... hoping that was the passing of the path of purity, showing a natural way of "teaching", a transmission in the right moment, space and situation/ catalysator..istic ambiance.
I remember a moment of deep memory, when we did so called "cosmic dance" in that ancient ruin of Athenes, during the Tribuana workshop, a vagabonde came to me after we finish our "dancing improvisation", said to me:" you should not show this movement publicly ....."
Hmmm, he must be right. But I was late to respond, to "translate correctly" as head of human can understand/comprehend. Yes, in my Balinese traditional manner of transmission, there are saying : AJA WERA, not to reveal/say thing ...just like that, without awareness, what, who is for, when is the time ripe to say/reveal .... and other wisdom consideration.
Back to the 4 dancing Phenix on ice, that morning the only sun we got during 5 days retreat, a few minutes only ..., new born birds that will fly free, (to examine inside what was newly born within), ...   remembrance of floating candle around the table and praying-voices of ancient the night before..... Matteo try to make fire in fireplace in the kitchen, failed, I did try before with failure,  bunch of wood has been bought by two participant for that fire ritual that never happen as desired/intended, the wood only brought few days after their arrival since their car was blocked by the snow far from the house.
See, how nature reveal their secret teaching, R.Tagore said that the nature is around us, always revealing secret naturally, it is us may be not always aware how to take it. African saying :" the Grand Master is around ready to handed IT's secret teaching, aware to size the right moment in life. Master = right moment, just moment, true moment.

There moment of revealing during that Easter Tribuana Retreat Cima Grappa Casa Natura, the last morning for exemple, where Maria-Luisa, Elisa start Tribuana Tai Chi, and joint later bu Ivana and some other came later. That i was aware to serve tribuana way to examine posture by posture of a movement, i found one simple movement in Elisa, that i called the "harakiri" movement, "hara qui rire", the new born inner smile movement. And was taken by other two, so three doing the same basic departure in movement, and then i propose everybody grow that base, naturally.... one doing quickly, other slowly, even very slow trying to understand how to organize her members to move together in harmony, let energy flowing in its respective meridian.
It was a moment of pleasure for me to accompany them. I realize that let the nature grow to respect and honor and cultivate, and by that way you see diversity in its origin to expand in spring time ...of that icy Easter at Casa Natura. Casa Natura invite you dress natively natura, be natura, ahhhh, all that difference to find their common reference to celebrate together.
....
A few second/little minutes before leaving the Casa Natura Alpenise, ten participants taking each of them their "self-made diploma" and each of them take by chance (just as like that) one picture of Japanese Noh-Bunraku face's spirit. ..... and some sentence, cristal thought, that i lay on the table with 2 candle of Rosangela, tripass tribuana & bayswara of the group, in triangle form, circle, square. .... you see the images below and the "song" of that their sacred syllable i composed them with many version.

Bayuswara and tripass tribuana is a living secret, living book, to dig its cristal light for well behave in this life. They contain dance, movement, song: rhythm, melody and harmony. It is our brain power later to interpret it for life-light.
And, to share them...thanks to inter-net, and to those who know to use internet for sharing piece of your peace. Start virtually, become really, and go on virtually to realize in your homely, sweet home reality with your family... if you cultivate them.
Ahh, family life, now we found a lot af children live separately with their mother and father, one week(few days) at mother, one week(few days) at father, ... what a confused reference !!! if you don't know how to accompany them.
School? ah, what is national school produce now? Those high school musical made in U.S.A. is greatly help kids to find their family story, communal school, to move, to sing, to love, to hate, to be jealous, to be in compassion, .... yes, how deep is the fountain?   Where do their ancestor come from?
Helo Chistopher Columbus ...1492 ... after you, what was imported to America, the new Am and the Inca Am ?
Boston Marathon 2013, explosion on the finishing line, what is human being doing now? where was their school to be able to produce that tragedy?
How to live with that shocking image? What is the wisdom lesson in it? Is there any wisdom animated those bom exploser?
ahh, explosive energy, explosive impulsion without wisdom ! help ! School of wisdom, where are you? All those gentleman/lady with their neat chic suite costume..... perfumed by their ambition and ammunition powder .... what beauty were created for the harmonious living of human and animals and plants and minerals of our blue planet earth?
The art of making question inside you is the art how to do things together.... in harmony, in symphony (it is a greek word = agree) what is that "art", artificially done ?
See !!! How Greek left us now its ruin and its glorious marathon of event to celebrate? How India left us their Mahabharata and its Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana and Veda. Tibetan with Buddhism, a country (where is that country now) without army. Dalai Lama said, if you want to stop the war, please stop making gun. No knife, stop cutting/stabbing .... but how with knife do curving too?
The tragedy and the comedy start in the fountain of human personal brain. Everybody carries their grain of tragedy and comedy, every one design their own paradise and hell.  Good and bad is personal, ...to grow and enjoy it together in symphony.
Viva la musica !!
Ahh which music? what is the lyric? the rhythm? the harmony?

Dear participants of Easter retreat tribuana 2013, casa natura cima grapa, you see, that, with you, tribuana always open my surprises, how late i am to realize that nature has participate our work naturally. Even if one of you stuck in her bed, ill, head ache, can not participate for 2 days 2 night, but you are there all and even now in my inner work, you are the living book that give me moments of learning to earn .... knowledge, wisdom, music, song .... to understand, internet is a grace gift to open the windows of your mind to bite the taste of a fresh apple of the season, the fruit of your "act" in time, conscious or not, it is there with others (who aware to honor the present as a PRESENT ...ation)

I often said when participant ask me:"Tapa, did you write a book?"
I answer:" yes"

Pondering on 

Retreat Tribuana Cima Grappa Casa Natura Alpenise

Montreuil, 11 april 2011

The link between 2 person, the link between person and objet, the link between person and surrounding, the link between person and his/her inner guide/master/GOD: Tri Hita Karana.

That link can be horizontal or vertical. That link can be like master and disciple, to find and to determine which one is master which one is disciple. That link can be evolved by the "subjet" = she or he, up grading or down-grading of the link bring forth some parameter. 
Lets say, he/she was my master, then by time etc. become friend, lover, servant, .... or vice-versa. What makes it so?
Lets try to explore some of that parameter, that condition, that references:

1. the important or interest of the person/object. Person/object need experiences in order to stick well in you. To make experiences as to work together on something; theater can be very living important means/way to explore value, to write deeply memories. Memories >>> essence >>>knowledge.
2. the dead memories of the person/object. How to maintain the memories alives? the living spirit of a person? an object? ...I remember in 1974, when i was with Sardono's Balinese & Javanese dance-theater group touring in Europe, i was slept in a hotel room, with other 3, we were 30 (4 children boys of 10 years), the old master bapak Pugra, master of Topeng/mask Bali, every morning he made little offering out of his café & tartine of french baguette, he offered first to his basket of masks that dwell on top of hotel clothes-cupboard. It is a tradition in Bali, to put respectful object (his masks) on high place, as he considered himself as servant (until slave ?? may be, in his Balinese mind) to manifest that "something" more important, more value, more honored that him/her self. As Balinese, it is normal to me, but the meaning and realisation of that meaning in life was revealed by time.... one life not enough, and always amazingly surprising....ah, haaa, if your brain & spirit work transcendentally creative.
3. the real present of that object/person in your daily life. If it does not present may be not become tool of daily life? tribuana food?
4. the dead link because of no care, no "useful intelligent" in interpretation, no illuminated intelligent ..... cosmic intelligent. 
5.  the needs of life maintenance. Here we are taking care of traditional value, creating "new tradition", new habit that contain spiritual/living/cosmic value.
6. no more pleasure in it (person, object, value). Ah haaa, pleasure!! It is a seductive word. What you plead...sure.... ly.
7. criteria of satisfaction. These criteria is living criteria, so aware it can change. Evolutive criteria, creative criteria.
8. daily maintenant, dialoog toward "third more important common interest/value", dialectic of take & give. In conversation or dialog, do careful of these 2 words:  miss....take and for....give.
   
   
   
9. Self awareness without becoming ego-centric or Xcentric. Broaden your awareness. Brahman =Atman. ...When the traveler meet Simorgh in Conference of the Bird (ATTAR)
10.  etc. .... Is there any hidden "gardener" inside you, deep deep in you that we called IT: GOD ???or Illuminated Spirit????  (to be continued...in next updated)

awaken memories by image..... it was in Geneva...around 1975-1980...
