Automatic emotion

Stop for a minute,grab a pen and paper, now write about a witness .....

Welcome to stage one of the creative process for Ron Atheys automatic writing. Strong symbolic closed statements form just one of  the stimulus that we as performers are reacting to. Our Rehearsal/performance space ( a dilapidated old science museum with its guts cut out ) provides a fitting setting  for this piece .
A piece who in its nature addresses the entire spectrum of the human psyche but also at the same time gives a medium from which we obtain clear and consise glimpses of battered souls .
Prolific in nature our musings seem to be and a lot darker then preconceived but then if you tell a room full of passionate performers to write from their hearts then any lesser outcome would be a poor show of character.

Now to address automatic writing as a creative process, the idea is simple just write from your centre, get all of your innermost and dirtiest out on show ...... use this forum as your mediator , your psychiatrist , your lover .
The results are terrifying, funny , sorrowful and above all truthful.
I have never been so caught up in a rapture of emotional symphony , taking short intervals we react to the stimulus given, we write but we are not present , the transition from soul to pen is complete , all those days of pent up feeling ever building angst and hurt released in a maelstrom of ink and expression .
The end leaves the floor awash with  documentation of dreams and nightmares and the performers in a state of shock, a foreboding silence fills the room an unsaid awkwardness becomes apparent not too dissimilar to the mutual embarrassing  moment  after  a one night stand between two close friends , you know the minute you realize that as much as you benefited from this experience you cant help but think that all present now knows a part of you  they  should never have seen.
