THROUGH ART AND CREATIVITY WE ARE ABLE TO RESPONSE! or what is the relationship between theory and practice?

 Last night we had very profound and radiant online session framed by relationship between theory and practice. I must admit that last 10 days I am making connections more than ever between these two things. I have learnt how is reciprocal and inevitably intertwined relationship between theory and practice. After  getting the feedback on my overview and analysis and after last night's session I have recognised that I put an accent, thinking, observation too much on my research project and little about observation on literature, so these days I am working on balance between overview research project, literature and reflective diary and what is going around when I look for validation between these three things. I just did not realize that I went to much into reflection about my research (which was ok for the Module 1) around embodied fluidity. Practice means actual operation or experience, and this empirical approach seeks understanding about what is going on in the research and this operation can not stand on its own without underlying theoretical questions (why, what, how) that guide the research. A good theory means a hypothesis confirmed by observation, reflection, intuition, or experiment, set of ideas that explains that observed facts, or phenomena. For example, in my research I needed to explain why in terms of ‘flow’ my intentions were there regarding breath/breathing. I needed to say more about how these established practices formed the framework for my sessions/inquiry and how they were applied in my practice. Some other interesting words came up last night, such as measuring creativity, exchange, dialoguing, being response-able and I am very grateful I could participate also in this session. These thoughts brought me to the never ending, ongoing conclusion that we can response through art, through sincere creative dialogue, honest exchange of information and knowledge. Angela mentioned one interesting word how we can also exchange thoughts, how we can play role around safety and risk in the performance through chaos and it is interesting because I also used insecurity and chaos as a way to penetrate into my practice and research project and Boud, Keogh and Walker in book "Reflection: Turning experience into learning"argue "how the group need to abide with the chaotic profusion for a while and wait for a genuinely creative order to emerge in its own way and time"(135,1985).  Navigating to unknown sound sometimes very frustrating and hopeless but we recently live in that kind of time which does not give a proper security and during the pandemic I realized that this place of unknown must become our 'normal' thing and as a creative, spontaneous and adaptable beings we obviously must learn how to dig deeper to find our place where we can be happy, joyful, creative, where we can experiment, improvise and being able to response, referring on Helen's thoughts. To have all these we actually have tools for communicating ideas, knowledge and for survival on this beautiful planet Earth. Just for the end, I would like to refer also on Dr. Charles Limb in TedTalk how science in 10-20 years might catch up the art and explain science of creativity and brain work on improvisational tasks. So, cheers to the life and next 10-15 years of brain exploration and to understanding how much brain will be able to innovate in the future:)
