1. The task of the Global Cal~aret Gui1;d has heen to discover the human dynamics present in the experience of caharet. In response to an invitation from a major Totel chain in India, the Guild created a model embodying these dynan.ics and produced a substantive document which holds the wisdom of the discoveries in a rational order and which will serve as a foun~lational tool, providing a context for any ~rour. who would engage in the production of`~uth~T~tic, universal cabaret. In addition to producing a demonstration cabaret, the Guild has corporately produced The Definitudes of Global Cabaret, a ninety­four nlra~raph

document articulating the rationale of the experience of cabaret.

2. The signal event in the work of the Guild has i~een the discovery of the states of bein~ which the raharet occasions. The major categories of these interior human dynamics correspond to the dynamics present in the Land of Mystery, and illuminate the profound priesting function that lies at the heart of authentic cal~aret.

3. In addition to its use as a tool for impacting the world through secularized evangelism, The Defin­ itudes of Global Cabaret may be used as a contextual frame and practical guide for any movemental groups who work in the entertainment field. This document is also the product of innovative corporate creativity and' as such, may represent a key toward the recovery of the cultural process of social art. The following pages will include four charts of The Definitudes of Global Cabaret. They are: I ­ ~he Profound Function; II ­ The Human Dynamics; TII ­ The Practical Components; and IV ­ The Stylistic Qualities.

5. As an impact tool for witnessing love, cabaret finds its precedents in the me ieval mystery and morality plays of Europe. Cabaret, both historically and contemporarily, appears to be a unique cultural event which reveals to everyman, the presence of the other world in the midst of this world.

6. Self­conscious experimentation with the cabaret dynamic began at Summer '73. Intuitive wisdom created the secular happening known as cabaret, w­ith a semiprofessional troupe, who grasped after cabaret as a form of love expressed in and through the practicalities of an entertaining theatrical production. In addition to articulating the underlying rationale of the cabaret dynamic, The Definitudes of Global Cabaret will provide a basis for continued reflection. The future use of the cabaret dynamic will be manifest in its gift to be a tool of indirect evangelism, subtly releasing in al1 men their passionate care for life and the consciousness of the joy of being alive. In its secularity, cabaret will also be accessible and amenable to all men everywhere, providing the proestablish~ent with an entertainment dynamic that releases their gift in authentic participation in our time of resurgence.
