Discussing Open World Theatre and the relevance of Immersive Theatre and Alternate Reality Games.
I am now offering personal mentorship for those wishing to invest in their creativity, artistic expression, innovation and brave living. This mentorship program provides a level of personal attentiveness which ensures the participants, (maximum of 7 enrolled at any one time), receive a focused investment by me.
Participants will engage in wordplay, action painting, food experiments, vocal sounding, martial arts, movement activities, character development, storytelling, wearable art, experience curation and game design.
This course is for those who want to bring a wilderness to the presentation of their ideas. A fully embodied commitment to the aesthetics they perceive; honouring them through vivid, unapologetic depictions of their vision.

Thank you to the organisers of Confest and all those participants who each contributed their personal universes to weave together a symbiotic reality which we can use as a launching pad to progress from! The key question is - "How do we implement the learning back into our lives beyond Confest?" I established Cognitonaut School of Unlearning last year as a way of Open Sourcing my life - welcoming people to find the creative state with me EVERY DAY. Find out more via www.bravochild.com/cognitonaut. LET'S PLAY!
8 points to consider when participating in an #OpenWorldTheatre workshop: 1) Your intuition is more important than the rules. 2) You do not have to be entertaining. 3) Open World focuses on ‘State’, (your present energetic and physical condition), rather than ‘Story’, (the significances of who you are in your daily life and the context we view things in.) 4) Most gains will be received when your coach yourself through the internal dialogue which may be limiting you from fully committing to the workshop exercises, or trying to enforce the image you have of who you usually are. 5) When changing one’s internal state, I advise not to attempt to draw on charged / emotional life experiences, instead generating them in the moment. Starting with the body; energy, heart rate, muscle tension, breath etc, then communicating from the altered state which manifests. 6) Do not show us. Instead have an actual experience internally and allow it to manifest in voice, movement or facial expression as naturally follows from the internal state. 7) I encourage you to explore your full range of potential. How quiet and still can you be? How loud and active? How peaceful? How powerful? You are free to test these out without them being attached to your identity back in the ‘real world’. If you participate in a dark scene, allow yourself to hold the destructive, hateful intentions fully, if it is a light scene, similarly allow full creation and love. Once the scene is over, allow those states to release. They do not colour who you actually are, they are merely the wide range of potential personalities you could choose to wear. 8) You have a right to hold your space. You do not need to explain your presence nor please anyone. One of the key aims is for participants to claim their innate nobility; it is a calm, powerful position which we all have the right to assume.
Warning: Constant immersion in the flowstate may have adverse / lasting effects.
The world of People Soup is coming to life, story by story. The next live theatre event is on Weds 10th Feb at 107 Projects. It is an interactive narrative experience in which the audience guides the storyline as it weaves through the pot holes in the Head Chef’s character kitchen.

Cognitonaut School of Unlearning is now OPEN! For those who couldn’t attend the opening ceremony over the weekend, (16/01/16), I’m uploading the speeches from the art ritual we held at 107 Projects, Redfern, Sydney. I welcome all artists, creators, makers, hackers, inventors, innovators, activists, awakeners, explorers, educators, entrepreneurs and movers & shakers with the intention of re-inflating this deflating society with art. It’s time to bravely envision the next phase of our personal and social evolution and ably build it together!
