Dada Charms

What is DADA Charms about?

DADA Charms is Patricia´s term for an unburdened approach of meeting life´s unpredictable turmoil. The DADA world view invites us to be very touchy in the presence of thought and action doctrines. The DADA reference in the business world keeps us alert against self-regarding, grumpy and autocratic attitudes.

My View on the Origin of DADA

Think of the French word dada for a hobby horse.

Originally Dadaism (Dada) was an art movement of a Europe based artist group in the early 2oth century.  Dada´s symbol is the hobby horse.

The original formation of activists only lasted from 1916 until 1922. It´s art genres stretched from performing arts to poetry, photography, sculpturing, painting, and bricolage. The founders of the movement were very sensitive to the madness of death, hate and desertedness that the first world war created in the minds and hearts of a whole generation.

The invincible daring strengths of Dada are for me about being:

• unconstrained by reasoning and logic;

• relentlessly self-ironic;

• unafraid of people in power and power structures.

The idea of exploring the emotional legacy of Dadaism for a self-aware view on the modern psyche was the starting point for a podcast series called Dada Charms.

Enjoy to hear how the healing power of Dada Charms impacts these nine emotions: Anger, Sorrow, Beauty, Laughter,Terror, Pride, Disgust, Doubt, Tranquility.

Patricia von Papstein ´  s dialogue partner is Matthew Bellringer from the UK.
