WHY CREATIFITY?
"Creativity is the absenting of the absence of living differently in order to live as well as possible"
Nick Wilson
“Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties”
Erich
Fromm
“Creativity is not simply a property of exceptional people but an exceptional property of all people”
Ron Carter
I am interested in creative living - thinking, making, doing, expressing, experiencing differently in order to live as well as possible.
As a conflation of the words ‘creativity’ and ‘if’ (as in ‘what if?’), creatifity carrys with it an aspirational message about human creativity that is imaginative, emancipatory, and value-positive. This is a message that informs my approach to creativity research and practice - whether as a writer, academic or musician.
