TED Talk: Creativity

Everybody has the ability to be creative. Not everybody has tapped into that ability to reach their fullest potential. The Secret of Our Success: “Playing with Reality” and “Going Out of Your Mind and Back In Again: Playing with Purpose” are lecture/demonstrations introducing some of the concepts of creativity we employ in the work that we do as writers, choreographers, directors, performers and producers, to help in your own professional line of work. We address the concept of playing and playfulness (a kind of egoless mindfulness) as an essential element of creativity, and then, using excerpts from our show Trick Boxing including character scenes, Ludicrous puppetry and dance, we demonstrate
various tools to hone the discoveries made during play.
