Great artists come to a point where it’s pleasurable to sit for hours and hours studying technique. Their periods of practice are more like a dance than work.
Watch this ‘Work as Play’ video in full on the Alan Watts App or at PLAY.ALANWATTS.ORG as the Essential video series.
Work as Play was filmed in February of 1972 on the front deck of the ferryboat SS Vallejo, Alan Watts’ studio home in Sausalito, California. It is one of nine programs recorded by Mark Watts of his father that weekend, and two more were recorded at Druid Heights in the ‘Twin Peaks’ house at Druid Heights, the mountain retreat where Alan went to contemplate, write, and experiment in various media.

“Perhaps the foremost interpreter of Eastern disciplines for the contemporary West, Alan Watts had the rare gift of ‘writing beautifully the un-writable’. Watts begins with scholarship and intellect and proceeds with art and eloquence to the frontiers of the spirit. A fascinating entry into the deepest ways of knowing.” — Los Angeles Times
