This project involves a collection of short educational films about the Romani culture and ancient European culture. It aims to bring joy and meaning to people who feel they don't belong or who feel they suffer with lack of self-belief and mental health issues. Too many of us are alone with ourselves as individuals, and the threads that connect us to the natural world, the ancient otherworld, and each other, are missing from our daily lives.
The Arts and Theatre suffering cuts in Wales - We are developing this project on a shoestring! With so much funding in very short supply and arts and theatre suffering, we feel we can bring out the best in ourselves as performers and artists, hitting back at the idea that we should allow the arts to die. We want to prove that we can make something work that is beneficial to all of us where our mental health, wellbeing, education and affordability are concerned.
The Shamanic Threads Project is a global project. So join us wherever you are on the globe and have some fun at the same time! We will welcome you.....
We tend to see shamanism and theatre as two very different areas. But they are indelibly and often unnoticeably linked to form an empowering mirror that reflects who and what we are within our relationship with life.
We only have to identify with favourite movies or dramas to know what this is about, how the action contained within them can help us relate to something that is going on in our lives and which we identify with. In this sense, the action forms a mirror for us to look into, so that we unconsciously interact with what is taking place.
The School provides a banner beneath which we can use as an enlightening education on authentic shamanism and the arts, and this inevitably carries with it events and performances for everyone to enjoy.
Parava means "transformation", "change", or "exchange", and symbolises the positive effect we get from experiencing a relevant piece of drama, music, dance, movement.
Performers, often students who have had a little Parava training, and others who are attracted to work with us, will come together to provide a kaleidoscope of colourful and enriching experiential educational videos that will polish our inner mirrors beautifully and touch the hearts and minds of others, with a new sense of wellbeing and enthusiasm.
