A few notes on "art-form" and ORID conversations...In the 60's and 70's the Ecumenical Institute and its faculty from the Faith and Life community at UT Austin, conducted conversation about the impact of works of art. Notably Picaso's Guernica - impressions of saturation bombing; and the film Requim for a Heavyweight staring Anthony Quinn as the washed up boxer who decides that even he can live his life... The focus of these two conversations was not to teach anything directly but rather to allow the participants of the RS-I (Religious Studies - I seminar) to experience their experience of the painting and the film. As pedegogs we were listening to the participants' responses for their theological views, which could guide us in guiding the following sessions of the 44 hour weekend course.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure when we formulated the ORID format - Marylin Olyer should know :-) but I associate ORID with our formalizing of facilitator skills training courses and the manuals for Group Facilitation Methods (now ToP Facilitation Methods) and Participatory Strategic Planning (now ToP Strategic Planning). Personally I think that the earlier titles / branding "GFM" and "PSP" are much more self-descriptive and clearer for marketing purposes. I suppose we could use both: "ToP - Group Facilitation Methods"; and "ToP - Participatory Strategic Planning".<br>

<br>
And the spirit question...not a formal method that I know of, except as pedagogues we were trained to listen for a deeply rooted "spirit issue" that a group or an individual was struggling with and seek to address that issue and thereby hopefully the Mystery of Life might address that person deeply. A very fine line between trying to use our own observations and judgments as opposed to self-reflection and discovery on the participant's part.<br>
<br>
There is also an additional method called the "Spirit Conversation" which essentially follows an ORID flow, but draws upon each persons personal experience rather than a common group experience (like watching a film together). So topics like "Tears" or "Water" or "Death and dying" might be the basis of a conversation...The image for the leader was like steering a conoe with gentle turns with the potential for a deep vortex or thundering waterfall to enter the path of the conversation as the group sees the depth of their own experience with the topic. Check Brian's book on Focused Conversation...maybe some clues there...or the ICA archives on "Spirit Conversations"<br>
Cheers, Sherwood<br>

Hi, all,<br>
<br>
Wayne did a comprehensive research project on where this all came from. I'm working on getting the book ready for publication. I'm swamped this week and next, but I might be able to extract some insight on this particular question when the work lets up a bit.<br>
<br>
The book, by the way, has the tentative title of "Getting to the Bottom of ToP" (more catchy than "The Phenomenology behind ICA's Methods") and hopefully will be published by next summer.<br>
<br>
Take care,<br>

Simply put, the 'art form conversation' is the 4-level ORID method of individual depth encounter/structured group reflection around experiencing any art form: something created by artist(s) as a unique expression of human perception/vision/insight.Marshall<br>

In the mid-80's, Gene Marshall published a binder with different conversation and workshop methods spelled out, for use by House Churches. Think I still have my copy in the garage.<br>

A few notes on "art-form" and ORID conversations...In the 60's and 70's the Ecumenical Institute and its faculty from the Faith and Life community at UT Austin, conducted conversation about the impact of works of art. Notably Picaso's Guernica - impressions of saturation bombing; and the film Requim for a Heavyweight staring Anthony Quinn as the washed up boxer who decides that even he can live his life... The focus of these two conversations was not to teach anything directly but rather to allow the participants of the RS-I (Religious Studies - I seminar) to experience their experience of the painting and the film. As pedegogs we were listening to the participants' responses for their theological views, which could guide us in guiding the following sessions of the 44 hour weekend course.<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm not sure when we formulated the ORID format - Marylin Olyer should know :-) but I associate ORID with our formalizing of facilitator skills training courses and the manuals for Group Facilitation Methods (now ToP Facilitation Methods) and Participatory Strategic Planning (now ToP Strategic Planning). Personally I think that the earlier titles / branding "GFM" and "PSP" are much more self-descriptive and clearer for marketing purposes. I suppose we could use both: "ToP - Group Facilitation Methods"; and "ToP - Participatory Strategic Planning".<br>

As I heard it, he asked<br>
Is there a difference between an Art Form Conversation and ORID question - and- someone just mentioned a "spirit question".<br>

<br>
What is the difference between an art form conversation, an ORID conversation, a spirit question?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Jan Sanders, I know, was recently asked by her teachers and principles at Aruba University why the conversation was called "art form" conversation.<br>
It sent her looking back into Brian Stanfield's work and Susan Langer's cultural mythology and meaning making.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Does someone have a generous answer?<br>

The art form has a lot of similarity to Dietrich Bonhoeffer's process for making responsible decisions: observe, judge, weigh-up, decide, act<br>
