At the beginning of this year,a unique literary and practical fusion emerged with the launch of DJOT. Biographical short stories with exercises by Rita Lūriņa, a choreographer and lecturer in Communication at Turība University of Business. This book is not just a collection of autobiographical stories; it’s a dynamic blend of memories and exercises that invites readers to explore movement, creativity, and personal growth.
The book’s narrative is woven with a spark of humor and light irony, masterfully connecting Rita’s adventures and encounters with a broader biographical and historical context. It’s a platform where the biography can be read or skipped, and the exercises can be performed or left undone. This conditional freedom makes DJOT an open canvas for interpretation and action, tailored to each reader’s journey.
Rita doesn’t claim authorship for any of the exercises. Some have origins dating back over a century,while others are adapted to specific tasks and needs. The reader is free to act, as “exercise is action.Its only task is to free from not being able.Teach diversity. And the joy of creation when the exercise is mastered.” The book is further enriched with illustrations by her son, Kristaps Lūriņš, adding a visual layer to the text.
Director Valdis Lūriņš offers inspiring words, urging readers to embrace creativity in everyday life: “Go wherever you want, you can’t live without the Creator. Especially when it truly seems unachievable to change the usual route from point A to point B and back. But try to see new nuances, details, colors in the well-known! And you won’t even notice how the Creator will appear next to you on the usual way from point A to point B. Perhaps you will find Creative in this story as well.”
