Creativity Lab

Focused on stimulating personal creativity and expanding play-range as a creator, our Creativity Lab offers an introduction to the creative process as a process of transformation and its application in producing authentic art works. Practices are taken from our interdisciplinary arts practices and professional experience; and also incorporates Paolo Knill’s Intermodal Expressive Arts Therapy framework which places import on the inter-relatedness of art-forms, believing that expression through various art modalities heightens sensitivity and frees curiosity towards the unbounded Self and a clarification of intention. Combines discussion and art-making experientials.

TOPICS

Esthetika’s Creativity Lab is a hands-on workshop where attendees will explore through art-making:

  • Best practices for stimulating creativity at an individual level.

  • Proven frameworks and methods that are based on Paolo Knill’s Intermodal Expressive Arts Therapy that: heighten sensitivity towards extending the creative flow state, and aid in handling any resistance or blocks in the creative process.

  • Play-led practices.

BENEFITS

  • Fosters creative self-efficacy and resilience.

  • Acquire tools and skills to capture new ideas.

  • Experiment with creativity in a safe environment in order to understand the tools and dynamics required to bring greater creativity to your personal arts practice.

  • Expand play-range by exploring self-expression in other mediums without focusing on the end product.

FORMAT

  • Live, In person

  • Person-centered and strengths based approach.

  • Depending on venue lay-out and space, the workshop can potentially accommodate up to 20 people.

  • The art-making process can get messy and may require space, so a room where tables and chairs can be arranged to accommodate various working styles is preferred.
