Realising Creativity
Patrick has written a book on the moments he has been able to identify as that of high-level creativity. Each of those moments were captured and lead to enormously successful projects including theatrical productions, exhibition designs, a major installation for the Melbourne Commonwealth Games and various museum exhibitions. This workshop explore the process of making one aware of the creative moments and the need for self-belief.
Workshops include story-telling, exercises in invention and belief and acknowledging one’s ability.
Activities include all group mindfulness, icebreakers, introductions, group tasks and individual tasks and voluntary presentations.
Programs can be 90 minutes, all day or 2 days.
