Nellie: Notes on Shamanism

Sha= to know
Shaman is someone who knows, they interract with the spirit world and other worldly forces. Sometimes they guide a person and cure then of their ailments.

there are three phases
 1)preporation phase
 2) experience/ lininal
 3) processing phase
in every phase there is a differen degree of consciousness that is experienced.

Science vs. Anthropology
Science just looks at the world through observable facts
Anthropology looks at waht science throws away, views all the inbetween areas/phases

Another idea that was presented was that everything has a soul.

Lately, personal totems was talked about. Totems choose you, so what is your totem?

NICOLE: experience w/ class performance.

When we had been discussing the performance and the gallery, I thought it was going to be a group effort to accomplish only one of the creative ideas that the class introduced.. In my opinion, I really liked the idea of the fake robbery.. but in my head, it was like the performance where the guy had stuck his head in the tank of water and the audience could hear it, but they were watching it from a screen.. So, there would've been like a setup of our class or something being robbed or like some kind of fake columbine going on and being shown on a screen to the audience where they could hear the shooting happening and see if they would come to our aid or something. Anyways, once I found out that we were just going to do an eclectic grouping of all the groups' ideas, I was skeptical at first because I was afraid it would be sloppy or confusing for people.. In the end though, all the different messages collided and became one piece in a more flowy way than I had anticipated and it was successful in the end. The only thing I would have changed would be that there would be a more defined ending.
