主題二：覺性自由靈性的即興表演藝術(Topic B: The Improvisation of Spiritual Free Jazz)

正如作為「為人類而生的藝術家」(Artists for Humanity) 創作人和作曲家、偉大的國際銅鑼大師唐康羅（Don Conreaux ) ，在1997年9月19日至21日他與聲音錄音博物館共同在羅傑斯和漢默斯坦歌劇院舉行了一場新千禧年音樂會時，他所發表發表了前三個預言：集體聲音治療即將來臨、覺性自由爵士的即興表演會成為主流、變革之歌將響徹雲霄。

Don大師創建的龐大的整體共振聲療體系融合世界各種整體共振發聲樂器，如：銅鑼、頌鉢、印度手風琴與人聲唱誦（Shruti chanting)、泛音詠誦（overtoing)，以及有技巧性地融入海螺、丁夏（Tinksha）、薩滿鼓、印地安笛、秘魯水笛、迪吉里杜管、海浪鼓、雨聲鼓、四元素風鈴、非洲鼓……等有穿透性的民俗樂器，並闡述實現新時代的三種聲音療癒核心元素------集體療癒、即興音樂創作和轉化意識的療癒。


As a visionary composer and the founder of Artists for Humanity, Grand Gongmaster Don Conreaux—a legendary figure in the global gong movement—proclaimed his first three sound healing prophecies during a Millennium Concert held in collaboration with the Museum of Sound Recording at the Rogers & Hammerstein Opera Housefrom September 19 to 21, 1997:

  1. The rise of collective sound healing
  2. Improvised Free Spirit Jazz will become mainstream
  3. Songs of transformation will echo through the skies

Don Conreaux’s extensive Holistic Resonance Sound Healing system unifies vocal and instrumental traditions from around the world, integrating a wide range of resonant instruments, including:

  • Gongs
  • Singing bowls
  • Indian shruti boxes and vocal chanting (shruti chanting)
  • Overtone singing

He skillfully weaves in deeply penetrating folk and ceremonial instruments, such as:

  • Conch shells
  • Tingsha cymbals
  • Shamanic drums
  • Native American flutes
  • Peruvian water whistles
  • Didgeridoos
  • Ocean drums, rainsticks, and elemental wind chimes
  • African hand drums, and more.

Don’s teachings outline three core elements of sound healing for the New Age:

  1. Collective Healing
  2. Improvisational Musical Creation
  3. Consciousness-Transforming Sound Therapy

銅鑼大師Don 曾經被稱為Baba Don 與 Guru Jagat，他是紐約大學戲劇學碩士。早年曾在瑜伽大師尤伽南達(Paramahansa Yogananda)創建的"自我了悟團契" 群體中修煉奎亞瑜伽 (Kriya Yoga)。

Don所創造的銅鑼打擊手法，不論是懸掛式敲擊法或是手提式敲擊法，他都為銅鑼音聲療癒與銅鑼表演藝術兩種需求而獨創出多種打擊法，表演藝術方麵包括有：懸掛式銅鑼的滾動打法、背對銅鑼敲擊法、與銅鑼共同吟唱與舞蹈的打擊法、唱誦咒與打擊法、打雷法、同步法……等等，手提式銅鑼的跑鑼、忍者鑼、苦行僧鑼、療癒漩渦……等打擊法，都是適合運用在銅鑼音樂會與銅鑼戲劇場所。

培訓課程數種樂器表演技巧教學：

Grand Gongmaster Don Conreaux, formerly known as Baba Don and Guru Jagat, holds a Master’s degree in Dramatic Arts from New York University. In his early years, he studied Kriya Yoga within the spiritual community founded by Paramahansa Yogananda, known as the Self-Realization Fellowship.

Don developed his own innovative gong striking techniques, uniquely tailored to meet both the needs of gong sound healing and gong performance art. His contributions include methods for both suspended and handheld gongs.

In the realm of performance art, Don introduced techniques such as:

  • Rolling strikes on suspended gongs
  • Striking the gong while facing away
  • Singing and dancing in unison with the gong
  • Chanting while playing
  • Thunder strike method
  • Synchronization method

For handheld gongs, he created:

  • The Running Gong
  • The Ninja Gong
  • The Ascetic’s Gong
  • The Healing Spiral Gong, among others

These styles are especially suitable for gong concerts and gong theatre performances.

Instrumental Performance Training — (May 20th–23th)

Participants will receive multi-instrument performance training from a team of expert instructors:

Theatrical Body Movement and Expressive Arts
– Taught by legendary Taiwanese theatre artist Zhang Wang (張忘老師) https://www.facebook.com/GongCosmos/videos/2436097953414415

培训课程第四、五天 (5.7~5.8) 分组自行编剧与排演：

进入学员分组进行编舞、编曲、编剧本的阶段，Don大师强调的即兴表演艺术，代表学员自行动脑编曲目、肢体动作、演出流程等集体创作之后，彼此再没有乐谱的情况下，以心灵感应的方式和谐共鸣。此时，诗提琴与诗歌吟诵将是各个曲目串接的灵魂。

这两天还会穿插由 Alicija、Ricard 两位资深铜锣表演艺术家四小时『内在神圣之声探索(Inner Scared Voice Exporing) 』课程，带领大家学习如何启动喉轮，发觉内在声音，并且与各种乐器和谐共鸣，让您站在舞台上仿佛是一位声乐家、歌手与吟唱乐手。Don大师强调，『你是锣、我是锣，我们的身体就是最大的声音疗愈共鸣箱。』这也是我们与生俱来的疗愈本能，人声唱诵与乐器和鸣。

Training Days 4 & 5 (May 7–8): Group Creative Process – Scriptwriting & Rehearsal

These two days mark the collaborative phase of the training, during which students will break into groups to co-create choreography, musical compositions, and original performance scripts.

Following Don Conreaux’s principles of improvisational performance art, participants will be encouraged to generate their own ideas for movement, music, and staging—then, without written scores, engage in intuitive group resonance through spontaneous telepathic synchrony.

At the heart of this creative process are the Esraj (Indian poetic violin) and spoken word/poetic chant, which serve as the soulful thread weaving each piece together.

In addition, participants will attend a 4-hour masterclass titled:
“Inner Sacred Voice Exploring”,
led by veteran gong performance artists Alicija and Ricard.

This special session guides participants in:

  • Awakening the throat chakra
  • Discovering and expressing the inner voice
  • Resonating in harmony with various instruments
  • Embodying the role of a vocalist, singer, and chant artist on stage

As Don Conreaux reminds us:

“You are the Gong. I am the Gong. Our body is the ultimate resonating chamber for sound healing.”

This is the essence of our innate healing potential—when the human voice merges with the instruments, true alchemy occurs.
