“A sensitive and exploratory way of looking at creativity.” – Lesley Wilson, Songwriter
Creativity is the practice of noticing what is happening, breaking habits and learning in order to make more interesting decisions. We all have the potential to be creative, whether that be in writing, drawing and music, or in the kitchen or in business. Though it can seem mysterious, creativity is not magic, but a set of learnable, trainable skills that will help you find empowered flow.
Apart from being enjoyable, the skills of creativity are necessary. Faced with a global economy that is both unpredictable and unstable, being creative can make us more resilient, sensitive and persistent.
Combining insights from a variety of fields, this course combines practical exercises and theoretical learning with opportunities for reflection and discussion. Over the eight two hour sessions, you will unpick the myths and assumptions you have about creativity and your own experience of it, understand better what you can do and how you do it. In small groups, you will learn to see opportunities for creativity everywhere in order that it becomes an everyday part of your life. Not a miracle, but a learnable craft and satisfying practice.
Based on an upcoming book, this course is designed both for those with a current creative practice and those looking to build one. You can take the class with a specific project in mind, or just to expand your skills. Between sessions you will be given optional tasks to work on, which can be part of your project if you have one. All you will need for the sessions themselves is a pen, paper and your beverage of choice.
