What are the intersections between the arts and healing? What are the intersections in these disciplines and what are the lines that separate them? How does the ability to play, create, and collaborate unlock healing?
In March of 2019, Zdenka Svitekova shared her intergenerational work with the group Ostruzina in the Czech Republic. Their work is centered around participatory experiences that bring audiences onto the stage to engage in what they call “open space” and “free play”. These experiences are liberatory and healing - unlocking surprising reactions among youth and adult participants.
Over the course of the session, a community of practice begins to develop among the artists and teaching artists who were able to tune in live.
Zdenka was joined by her colleagues Barbora and Eva to host the session.

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
