do it in your style...

i like an audience – i like to tell tales.. kinda in a standup comedy way, or some role-playing way... i guess i never searched for a typical method or art form to present / communicate, but prefer to just let it go with the flow. Because the rebel in me, refuses to conform to a particular style or way to communicate or story-telling. I like to do it with heavy doses of intense sarcasm and contradictions in which our mind seem to thrive on..

it is a form which is organic, it wont even allow itself to be typecast and leave others to follow in those footsteps or style. It has to decay within its time and maybe to stop it from becoming a fashion/trend, it has to die many deaths within a lifespan!

It has to reinvent itself, without worrying about an audience! Yes, a pure art form, which gets expressed over a period of time, longer than a movie or a book, could last upto 10 days of unscheduled conversation, which you are int he middle of doing every other thing!

Inter-actors it would be. Not a passive audience! Each preson has to interact, with everyone else, well almost. There has to be lot of trust, openness and positivity in all. With hope and peace in a relaxed atmosphere! Whew... too much to ask?

Then it can happen.. how or why nobody knows. Thus then there is no audience! Or everyone is an audience. There are no actors, writers, directors.. everyone spontaneously reacts.. with lots of layers in each dialogue, with full of rich body language for you to decode, decipher and communicate in the same way back. Without feeling any pressure.. just connecting and inter connecting... or whatever that means! ha... i had warned you about twiested sense of humour, innit? ;)

(wrote the above, based on a 10 day experience... a brief of it is given below:

For 10 days, i was in a place, Jungle, where everyone was doing their thing. But something beautiful happened (i am not someone who uses beautiful as an adjective easily.. but there seems to be no better way to describe it right now).

About 15-20 people met each other for few days, explored the place around, and interacted with each other without any planning or schedules... but somehow, it seemed to have given everyone a burst of positivity.. some got more but everyone got something positive overall..

How and why did this happen? There was no purpose or plan.. it just happened.

Maybe, such camps, or such get together should happen more often. a camp or hostel, where people just relax and have fun.. and interact with each other. Where they get along with others, while finding themselves, discuss personal stuff, and relax and chill out..

Everyone got a burst of positive energy and formed beautiful friendships with so many others and explored themselves and felt good about themselves as well.. which is really a lot to ask for.. and all this happened within 10 days.

But of course, if its a planned thing, will it really be the same? And if its not planned, nothing much might happen at all. A tough dilemma to resolve. Have any of you readers had such an experience? or would you wish for such a thing?
