The philosopher Heraclitus described play as ‘the lightning-bolt which steers all things’. In this workshop we will discover why ‘play’ techniques have been recognised as essential from early Greek thinkers, through to early C20th avant-garde, as well as Winnicott and neuroscience’s brain plasticity research. We’ll take a look at the spontaneous framework we need to enhance a strong creative practice and learn about the ‘3-step creative thinking’ model – an innovative creative thinking tool [developed by?]. Together, we will explore how open-ended spontaneous and creative thinking can unlock potential.
In this 2hr session we will:
- Develop powerful analytical writing tools to help problem-solve our drafts
- Practice writing exercises that generate imaginative and original material with ease
- Q+A with author, lecturer and clinical arts therapist, Susannah Crossman
This session welcomes beginners and experienced writers, poets, essayists, novelists, short story writers as well as teachers.
