In the course “Suddenly,” we will explore moments of abrupt change – accidents, insights, takeoff, a split second. When something sudden happens, it has already passed. When something sudden appears, things tend to rearrange themselves around it. Its unexpected nature draws us in, challenges us, rewires us. In every creation, there is such a moment that we don’t usually talk about, a moment when a third thing happens, an unexpected development that answers a hidden wish. Preceding the sudden, there is the source and the place. Two documents, two perspectives, one internal and the other external, both owned by the “I.” Sudden moments cannot be created, but they can be timed, made possible through the grounding of the encounter between the internal and external fields. This course will delve into the concept of the “sudden” and attempt to understand its essence, by collecting moments of change from daily life and through a series of exercises that aim to juxtapose the source and the place. Throughout the course, we will engage in writing and documenting our inner process, attempting to capture the elusive.
