Invitation to the Tabor Academy in Prague

As part of the celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of the Curative Educational Course, the Tabor Academy in Prague also organized a day of festivities.

Ralf Giese, member of the Training Council, Jan Göschel and Sonja Zausch were invited to give talks at the celebration for colleagues and students at the Anthroposophical Society.

Ralf Giese spoke about three basic gestures that are presented in Rudolf Steiner’s Curative Educational Course.

Jan Göschel and Sonja Zausch presented a paper on “Interweaving the past and the future in the present – the transformative impulse of supportive education”.

Here, the experience of time was linked to the eurythmic experience of “summer inheritance, autumn rest and winter hope” from the 29th saying of Rudolf Steiner.

Thanks to the Tabor Academy, there is also a wide range of activities in the Czech Republic, as high-quality further training in anthroposophical curative education and social therapy has been provided there for many years, alongside other anthroposophical courses. This has led to the development of a large network of experts in inclusive Waldorf schools, curative education activities and social therapy organizations with workshops, social farming and residential areas.

The importance of the artistic learning spaces at the Tabor Academy should be emphasized: students receive a lot of instruction in the visual arts and also in acting. The seasonal dramas by Karl König, among others, as well as the Christmas plays have been rehearsed and performed by students and lecturers for years.

So this day was rounded off with a very expressive performance of Carlo Pietzner’s play about Kaspar Hauser, “… and out of the night”, directed by Anežka Janátová, the founder of the Academy, and performed by students and lecturers of the Tabor Academy.
