Tutor: Grahame Griffin     Ph  5545 0043 Time: to be advised

Start :  

Venue: please contact  Ph  5545 0043

 

In this course we'll be looking at extracts from both early and recent films to try and discover just what makes these films special or different.

We'll be considering the 'language' of these films - camera work, editing, sound, lighting, acting styles - and discussing how this language works to produce a great movie.

(There's bound to be much difference of opinion here.) Participants in the course can bring along their own favourite films and share their choice of extracts with colleagues in order to stimulate further discussion about what makes (or fails to make) a movie classic.

This course will teach you to meditate using visualization, sound, movement and art. You will put these techniques to use to relax, heal, create and focus your energies. You open the mind beyond the senses, go beyond the mind. You open on this deeper centre where there is simply an experience of deep peace, deep calm, happiness and bliss.


The person is fully conscious and enjoys this bliss, and that is what we are aiming at. Meditation has proven benefits for healing and for creativity. We practise different methods of meditation using visualisation, sound, Tai chi and Chakra colours. The course is open to all and is non-denominational.
