We are
all born imaginative, curious, creative, but these qualities can fade with
the passage of time. The Creativity Workshop's aim is to help people get their
imaginations back. Whether you are a writer, a business person, a teacher,
or an artist, the Workshop can help you discover and nurture your particular
way of expression and break through the fears and blocks that inhibit creativity.
Working with more than 2,000 individuals, businesses, and institutions since
1993, the Creativity Workshop helps people believe in and develop their creative
process through using a unique series of exercises in memoir, creative writing,
visual arts, sense perception, brainstorming, and storytelling. Our concentration
is on the process of creativity rather than the product and emphasizes the
importance of play and the sharing of ideas to nurture creative growth.
Shelley
Berc and Alejandro Fogel have taught their Creativity Workshop internationally.
They have lectured on creativity and their own work at universities and cultural
centers throughout the world. Berc and Fogel explain in theory and demonstrate
in practice the concepts of originality, 'appropriation', memory and imagination.
Under their guidance, participants explore their own creative processes through
different writing and drawing exercises. They emphasize the intimate link
between personal and public spheres, individual and social practices, history
and myth, dream and reality. The focus of the workshop is on process not product
and to help participants find life-long tools of creative expression.
