Creative Confident
4-Week Online Workshop Series  (September 2022)

Description

Participants from around the globe tapped into their full creative potential by understanding what makes their creativity stand out and learning how their unique creative contributions connect to the world around them.

SESSION FLOW:

Session 01: Creativity & You – Unlock Your Creative Confidence

The first session provides a context for creativity, helping to differentiate between the creative process, creative practice, and a creative mindset. You are invited to explore your reasons for pursuing creativity and begin discovering what makes you unique. During this session, you will transform yourself into a Creative Superhero(ine)!

Session 02: Access Your Imagination – Grow Your Imagination Capacity

Learn practical methods to access your imagination space more quickly and then engage in ways to go deeper so you can uncover [im]possibilities. Session 2 also introduces basic futures thinking techniques to grow imagination capacity.

Session 03: Creativity In Action – Make Ideas Reality

This session is dedicated to opening the channels between creative thought (your ideas!) and creative action (making them a reality). Investigate how your current spaces, materials, and approach influence your creativity. In this session, you will practice using your hands to actively build ideas.

Session 04: Inspiration In Every Context – Connect Your Creativity to the World

Inspiration is all around you! Find out how your ideas are connected to the world around you and why your contributions matter. In the final session, you will also learn about your creative type and how to collaborate with different Imaginators.

Along your creative journey, you will…

  • Rewrite worn-out narratives that hold you back from embracing a creative mindset.
  • Overcome creative blocks with exercises that move you out of your comfort zone.
  • Access imagination space more quickly with practical creative prompts that expand your exploration space to the [im]possible.
  • Develop making skills that exercise your capacity to move the imagined into the real world.
  • Understand your creative type and honour the different creative types that contribute to the collaboration process making room for all levels of creativity. Identify different contexts for your creative contributions and connect your unique creativity to the world around you.
  • Create space for creativity, one that fosters the creative process and enhances co-creation experiences with teams.

Participant Results & Insights

Over the course of four working sessions, and the four weeks to digest and practice creative methods between sessions, this powerful intimate group of creatives built trust with one another that extends far beyond the workshop. At the end of our classroom journey together participants felt the magic of their collective creative momentum and suggested we stay connected each month to support and celebrate one another through the creative struggle. 

Open collaboration and active learning methods that include creative sprints and open discussions celebrate the learner and open space for students to build solid trust, an essential element to co-creation environments and creative motivation.

PACKAGE FULL OF LOVE. It’s beautiful how we ca PACKAGE FULL OF LOVE. 
It’s beautiful how we can pass energy to one another without ever physically being in the same place. And sometimes we can’t know just how much that passing of energy truly counts. 
Today I received a true gift in the 🐌 mail today from @zine4u who sent me a big envelope sealed with rainbow tape (oh the details!). The excitement I felt to see something addressed to me by hand and to open it knowing that the surprise inside was packaged up with love and care. 
When I opened the zine is was exactly what I needed to experience today! My heart glowed knowing that I am not alone in this world. 
We are not alone. YOU are not alone. 
Thank you, Laney, for making my day!! Your zine will be coming soon!

LIBRARY LOVE. I can never seem to get enough of LIBRARY LOVE. 
I can never seem to get enough of libraries — the smell, the peace, the history, and, of course, the inspiration! 
I recently had the pleasure of visiting the @trinitycollegedublin library and the #bookofkells 
I tried to imagine what it would be like sans tourists. Oh, if one were alone with the books…what the books might whisper.

I AM WHO I AM. Also, “I am a kitty and I love I AM WHO I AM. 
Also, “I am a kitty and I love to rock!” 
My parents shared this gem with me this week — straight from their old film projector (remember that sound over no sound?) I am the second ‘kitty’ from the right from where you’re watching (aka second from stage left)
Mom says I was around 3-4 years old (late 70’s). It was my first dance recital. My first time in front of a live audience. And, well, the rest is history! 
I always claim that dance and the arts shaped my life. I stand by that. But after seeing this flashback to my earliest years I began to wonder…Have I shaped my life through dance and the arts? 🤔 💭
