Creativity and creative thinking is increasingly on the agendas of all schools and universities. In order to enable students to think differently and creatively, we empower them to inhabit their whole person and to discover their own unique creative processes. We do not focus on imparting specific technical creative skills, but to teach the students how to be creative and how to apply it to any area of their lives.
This six-session program of learning gives students clear tools, skills and a well tested framework from which to explore their own creativity, collaborate with others and learn practical tools and skills. We will engage your children to create and explore through the expressive forms of storytelling, devised theatre, art, photography, music and film. Our courses will help them develop greater creative literacy, emotional intelligence, empathy and confidence.
We will cover and experience in-depth the Five Stages of the Creative Process:
The students will use the practice to make simple projects in an expressive artistic medium of their choice, which might include creative writing, film and photography, story and scriptwriting, devised theatremaking, music and sound design and many more. We will guide the students in exploring their process through keeping artist’s notebooks using a combination of analogue methods and digital apps. This program will communicate in a presentation and sharing of the students’ work to their colleagues, friends and families.
