Guess what? Co-creation is not a “new” concept. We are always co-creating. As co-creators, we are either “unconscious” or “conscious” co-creators. We were not brought up to believe in/ nor practice our ability of conscious co-creating. That is why the journey of becoming the empowered co-creators we are is a journey of “unlearning” rather than “learning”.
The evolution of Art & Science is a clear projection of the evolution of our consciousness, as human beings. We are moving away from a world that was constructed with “fixed” and “dictated” givens that have simulated and perpetuated hierarchies, divisions, and therefore conflicts, into a world that wants to explore, experience and express our potentiality, without denying anyone their truth. Science has acknowledged the “influence” of the observer/researcher on the behavior/response of every phenomenon, and art is becoming more immersive by inviting the audience/experiencer to influence the narrative and participate in the creative process. And the gaming experience, where science meets art, is showing us how the young generations are already co-creating their own content.
The question is: do you choose to actively and consciously co-create your experiences and empower others to do so? Or, do you choose to continue playing out polarized roles, where some win by making others lose, where some are right and others are wrong, where some have power and others are powerless?
If you choose conscious co-creation, then this work might resonate with you. CoCoCreation is a practice that applies the same approach in contemporary storytelling to individual and group narratives. The participants will learn how to use the tools of “de-constructing” narratives & stories and “de-roling” from fixed roles they tend to play out.
My gift is offered through online video meet-ups for those who are willing to step into their conscious co-creative Selves. My birth name is Dalia Fakhr. Born to an Egyptian family. Mother, daughter, sister and friend, trying to wake up excited to experience the day, and go to bed feeling fulfilled and grateful for everything and anything I have experienced. My journey since I was a little girl has been always evolving around “freedom” and “truth”. From trying to be a “free” girl, which back then meant to negotiate the hours of my curfew, all the way to political and social activism, working in media, dance movement therapy, embodiment facilitation, then performing arts… each arena felt incomplete to me. Something was always missing. Until it became clear to me: I am the experiencer of all these events, and I need to feel “safe & free” where I am as I am, regardless what the external events or circumstances are.
In 2019, I have founded my company “DCreations for Consultancy & Training”. DCreations is a co-creation organism with the vision to create experiences serving as a playground for authentic expression. With the core belief that “Being” human needs to be embraced and celebrated, not judged, nor transcended, DCreations’ main purpose is to de-construct "old narratives" and explore new paths, mediums, and tools, using the available resources, to experience and express "new narratives". We create “safe & free” spaces, online and on-ground, for all stakeholders to participate in creating their “new” authentic narrative. Varying from individuals to organizations and cultural groups, we work with personal, interpersonal, transpersonal and collective narratives. I refer to myself as a “creative facilitator & conceptual artist”. My methodology includes embodiment work, meaning, creating experiences where we can actively participate in transforming narratives, concepts and/or deconstructing behavioral patterns.
Areas of expertise: • Somatic movement and embodiment work • Dance/movement therapy • Workshop facilitation for creative expression and personal development • Intercultural and community dialogue facilitation • Interactive performing arts • Playback theatre
