Examples of the success of the principles incorporated in the MOVE ME sessions.
This is a creative workshop delivered in Yerevan, Armenia to a group of Turkish and Armenian performing artists, exploring the current impacts of the genocide of Armenian people in 1915:
Here are comments by participants during the creative sessions:
If this process is about relationship between us it worked very well.
It was a great experience for me. Every movement of this experience was great. And it’s great that it is not over. I’m full of love and good ideas.
Acceptance was very strong, very deep. It’s not sentimental, it’s functional, It’s necessary, we need to love each other, to create a society.
Today was a great day, my emotion started to kill me, in a good way. When there’s emotion in a process, it’s good for everyone.
I love you, you’re very good people. Nothing to criticize really. I’m enjoying it. I feel we are like a team, I don’t want to go.
You, Jonathan, this workshop is an oasis, it’s a new world, new knowledge, new energy, my blood is boiling. I have good trust that this program will end up good.
It’s very important thing for me: very unique experience. Because during 5/6 hours, we got with each other very fast. My previous experience, we needed 3 or 4 days. Here we are already friends. Thank you maestro! I feel I’m in my place.
It was really really nice and warm today. I like this kind of atmosphere. People are relaxed, energetic and nice. I just behave what I am, what I want. I’m so happy to be here today.

This creative methodology was used in Az Theatre’s mappa mundi project. This related human change to environmental change. You can read the blog about this project here.
Also, by the way, this short film was shot in a day after a one and a half day workshop of this type with a group of young creatives. So it will not tell about the workshop but if you are entering the development of a creative project like a film or a theatre piece the workshop may make this process more intensely creative: (password: Unforeseen2017):
