Proposed : A play of light

May 5, 2008 at 12:18 pm | In emergent spirituality, movement | 7 Comments

Hi All thought I’d workshop this here.

A play of light: A theodrama of faith and photons

- In the dark
[Christina] “Light : wave or particle?”

Our unknowing about the nature of light and uncertainty about the nature of G-d

- Impressions
[Ann] “Transient beauty”
Debussy, Monet and Hopkins

- Parallax
[Andrew] : What we see depends entirely on our point of view.
The drama depends on this ambiguity. Use own paintings.

- I once was blind
[Mike] “Transitions, transformations, liminality”

- The ongoing drama of creation
[Angela] The first words of which are “Let there be light”

- Light of the world
[Tim] The grand theme revisited ; Heb 1, Mt 5, Star of wonder…

- Making Light
[Theresa] A theology of play and a playful theology, divine recreation and homo ludens.
Life as a game of Love

- Celebration: Festival of lights

- Responses
“We see though a glass, darkly. Light of the world, reveal yourself.”

- Rituals
- Light candles – “I once was blind but now I see [insert your own vision here]“
- Have a go at the sacremental camera

  1. I like it! The rituals sound amazing. We could possibly work with passing on light to each other (or fetching light from a blaze in the centre when we feel ready to say what or vision is) …

    Would you want each of us to do a 10min presentation in the form of our choosing or did you have something else in mind?

    Are we inviting friends and others who haven’t been to Sundays?

    (btw … Christina has a new name)

    I thought you could do “In the dark” where you introduced the idea of uncertainty (/faith) by exploring the question “Light : wave or particle?” (if that idea still has currency) and we could combine slides etc with your talking. The method of delivery is up to you – meditation, discourse, game, debate…

  3. I like teh “passing the light” concept – definitely something to work with. And I’m looking forward to finding some intersting transitions, transformations and limnality… :)

  4. This is a community that’s as much fun to be in as it is to watch, where it’s as rewarding having a journey as it is sharing in others’ journey.

    Light, perspective, shadow, translucency, reflection, generation, sunburn … so many thoughts atm.

  5. Does anyone on the group have a lazer pointer and/or one of those little light-vane toys? The ones in a lightbulb shaped glass container with black and white painted ‘wings’?

    I think I have an idea of how to play with this concept :-)

  6. Hmmm you will need to talk to the “players” about this… Mike? Tim?

    Is it like envoys squirrell on crack icon? Or is it one of those red “asassination” spots?

  7. Neither … but it will involve pulling hair out :-P
