Walter Logeman: Journal
I wrote a post on Freud’s birthday once before.
that was 2006. I wrote a few more after that. And I’d like to mention this one, 2018, 12 years after the other one:
Freud and individualism in the 20th century
I changed my tune on Freud.
I’ve been imagining the world lately as if there is no unconscious just people in action. Moving in the moment. Its hard to do, but an interesting process.
Playing with Moreno’s idea that the psyche is outside the body.
“Marc Petitjean grew up in a house where Frida Kahlo’s painting, The Heart, also named Memory, hung on one of the walls. Uncovering the story of how the painting was given by Frida to his father, Michel Petitjean, he unfurls not only a passionate love affair between them in pre-Second-World-War Paris, but also a back story about Frida’s paintings around the time and the intersections between France’s surrealist circles and contemporary politics.”
Enjoying this half invented book with lots of name dropping of French artists in the thirties. Interesting. Here is the art in question

“Who Shall Survive?” begins with a universal statement about humanity.
“SOCIAL AND ORGANIC UNITY OF HUMANKIND *”
That’s the heading and it makes quite a statement! It is followed by the classic opening line about mankind:
“A truly therapeutic procedure cannot have less an objective than the whole of humankind.”

I listened to the podcast and enjoyed it:
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Coleridge’s poem of a grim voyage in which a sailor shoots an albatross and is forced to tell the story of his crime forever.
More info, but I wanted to see the Dore Images. Here is one:

Wikipedia
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (originally The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere) is the longest major poem by the English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, written in 1797–98 and published in 1798 in the first edition of Lyrical Ballads. Some modern editions use a revised version printed in 1817 that featured a gloss.[1] Along with other poems in Lyrical Ballads, it is often considered a signal shift to modern poetry and the beginning of British Romantic literature.[2]

Here is the printable flyer for Theatre of Spontaneity 2021
Open evenings of Psychodrama in Christchurch
First Tuesday of every month. 6.30 to 9.00pm.
Come and participate in an evening of Psychodrama conducted by experienced group practitioners. Psychodrama is an active and enlivening method which aims to increase spontaneity, strengthen relationships and build community. We explore what emerges in the group on the stage and sometimes the events have a theme. Social or community issues may be to the fore, sometimes the event is more about personal or professional development.
The name Theatre of Spontaneity has its origins in Vienna, early last century, when Jacob Moreno, the founder of psychodrama, conducted theatre in this style.
The event has been happening regularly since February 2013. Usually between 10 and 15 people come. The evenings are conducted by qualified psychodrama directors
You are welcome, no experience necessary.
Please arrive by 6.15pm.
Venue:
Quaker Meeting House, 217 Ferry Road, Christchurch.
Fee:
Koha
Organised by the Canterbury/Westland branch of the Australian and Aotearoa New Zealand Psychodrama Association.
