MENTAL PREP
----- Claire Robertson
At times the art world is no different to the wilderness. To survive in it we need to form a plan... We need to stick together... But if we are to collaborate in this, we need to be prepared physically, emotionally and mentally...
To start the project, the group formed a 'safe space' to be used throughout the Boot Camp where ideas and emotions could be shared openly and freely. Once the space was established, dream catcher erected and pillows puffed, Claire led the group through a number of bonding and meditative exercises in an attempt to connect their minds and mentally prepare them for the collaborative challenges of Boot Camp.
