Social Dreaming Talks - Episode#4 : Social Dreaming & Creativity with Tessa Gordziejko

The social dreaming matrix is a structured opportunity to share dreams with others. It shares the interest about dreams with psychoanalysis but it differs from its tradition because it does not attempt any interpretation and it has no therapeutic finality. https://www.psychologyofsailing.com/what-is-social-dreaming/ 40 years after its inception (Gordon W. Lawrence, 1982) social dreaming is still used in many different contexts, and has seen a surge during of online matrices during the pandemic. Without claims of being exhaustive and accurate, Social Dreaming Talks wants to initiate a series of conversations about the tradition and the various new emerging trends in Social Dreaming. The live streaming broadcast airs on Psychology of Sailing's YouTube channel for an hour and it's avalaible on replays. SUBSCRIBE TO THIS CHANNEL TO STAY UPDATED EPISODE 4: Tessa Gordziejko is a writer, performer, director, producer and dramaturg. As a climate activist, blogger and member of networks of artists she makes work about the climate crisis. She has been participating in Social Dreaming and Visual Matrices for a few years now. She has been fascinated by how it feels similar to the early stages of creative production through associative working and accessing the 'unthought'. In 2019 Tessa was awarded a grant by Arts Council England to develop her creative practice, experimenting with deeper tools and methods for co-creation. She explored how artists and communities might use such techniques in collaborative dramaturgy and also how the individual writer can express a plurality of voices. Whilst the events of 2020 have restricted the extent to which she could expand the activity, she has been hosting a group called The Art of Social Dreaming in regular matrices. The focus of this series is on creativity and they respond to the matrix and dream reflection dialogue with writing and images. Several theatre-makers attend the group. They have discussed how Social Dreaming informs, or may in future inform, theatre practice. - You can read more on: https://www.tessagordz.co.uk/category/the-story-of-we/ Subscribe to this YouTube Channel or join this mailing list to be reminded of future talks: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/e1m9e2 - Info about Social Dreaming Talks: http://www.psychologyofsailing.com/social-dreaming-talks/ - About Social Dreaming: http://www.psychologyofsailing.com/what-is-social-dreaming-matrix/
