Welcome back to the Evolve Move Play podcast! Today we have an engrossing episode with Ethan Hsieh to explore the intriguing intersections of movement, theater, and cognitive science. Ethan, a multifaceted thinker and practitioner, delves into his journey from actor to director of community development at the Vervaeke Foundation. Discover how his unique approach, The Integrative Approach and Methodology of Active Transformation (TIAMAT), is reshaping the way we think about performance and personal growth. This conversation goes beyond the surface, examining how integrating different disciplines can lead to a richer understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Together Ethan and I discuss the philosophy of movement, the impact of theater on personal development, and the nuances of cognitive science. This episode is a treasure trove of insights in the crossroads of physical practice and intellectual exploration. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that challenges the boundaries between the body and the mind. 00:00:00:00 Chapter 1: Introduction 00:06:46:08 Chapter 2: Exploring Embodiment and Movement Culture 00:12:23:00 Chapter 3: Movement, Narrative, and Mythological Exemplars 00:19:17:19 Chapter 4: Love, Relationships, and Philosophical Musings 00:26:49:10 Chapter 5: The Future for Ethan’s Work 00:34:17:14 Chapter 6: Transformative Power of Movement and the Meaning Crisis 00:42:01:2 Chapter 7: Complexity of Science, Philosophy, and Personal Narratives 00:49:46:08 Chapter 8: Wisdom, Virtue, and Embodiment 00:58:37:12 Chapter 9: Symbolism, Narrative, and Cultural Impact 01:12:33:00 Chapter 10: Interplay of Personal Narratives, Movement Culture, and the Quest for Meaning EMP | Visit Us Online - EMP Website: www.evolvemoveplay.com - EMP Substack: evolvemoveplay.substack.com - IG: @RafeKelly - www.instagram.com/rafekelley/ - FB: @RafeKelleyMovement - www.facebook.com/RafeKelleyMovement - Twitter: @rafekelley - twitter.com/rafekelley - YT Subscribe: www.youtube.com/user/Faelcind?sub_confirmation=1 - Become a Patron: www.patreon.com/rafekelley ETHAN HSIEH - Web: https://www.5tomidnight.org/tiamat -Email: ethan@5tomidnight.org - IG: @ethan5tmintl - https://www.instagram.com/ethan5tmintl/
