TWO DAY ENCOUNTER with PASQUALE ESPOSITO
ZEN IN THE ARTS
No Path Journey
As soon as you know how to move or the path to walk to get where you want, it is like a shadow pretending to have free will, wrestling to find freedom. Any methods, any paths can only polish the seeker, but truth shines bright in the here and now; no distance.
This workshop is for actors, artists, and anyone interested in exploring the essence of being alive, which implies expression.
For those who have walked with me before, remember Suzuki Roshi’s book “Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind”.
Whatever we believe we know about Zen, is already a step away from it. In Zen, we return again and again to that place, that cannot be found on any map and so everyone begins from zero, even if you’ve been practicing for fifty years.
Pasquale invites participants to explore the sense of ownership, the sense of agency of an action, an answer. We will explore the nature or reciprocity and responsiveness in the frame work of expression.
So we will go through different things individually and in the group.

PASQUALE ESPOSITO
Pasquale is a Zen monk (Soto) and a professional actor. As an actor he works internationally in the film industry. After different years of Zen practice Pasquale was officially ordained in 2001 at the Fudenji Zen Temple in Italy by the Abbot’s Temple Fausto Taiten Guareschi.
Pasquale is also the president of the Zen Cultural Association "Flowers in the Sky" www.flowersinthesky.com and is the artistic director of the Research Company, with which he research projects and offers internationally.
Being a Zen monk and an actor forces him to research the nature of expression and communication in depth. He also has been certified by the I.I.F.A.B (www.iifab.org) to guide and lead Bioenergetic Exercise groups and classes. He practiced Chi Gong and pushing hands.
He has studied Kundalini Yoga and the martial art of Aikido for many years. A very important part of his education comes from the “Gurdjeff’s teaching” which he followed in Rome, Los Angeles and London. He is also counselor in Reality therapy and a facilitator in W. Glasser international to guide “take charge your life”.
