The Art & Science of Building a Creative Process
Zoom workshops with Jamie Blume & Zach Morris presented by Atlas Obscura
In this 4-part workshop, explore the artistic and scientific components to building a sustainable creative process and begin putting it into practice. Creativity is abstract, and for many of us, pretty elusive. In this course, we’ll dissect the process behind the creative process, exploring commonalities between creative practices across disciplines. Alongside clinical psychologist Dr. Jamie Blume and immersive theater director Zach Morris, we’ll integrate principles from their expertises to articulate and enact step-by-step plans to bring a big creative undertaking to fruition—whether that’s writing a screenplay, learning to sing, finishing that portrait, or performing a monologue. By the end of the course, students will have a concrete plan to achieve one of their artistic goals, as well as practices to help make their creative processes smoother and more sustainable in the future.
Audience Role
In class, students will be encouraged to participate in discussions. Outside of class, students will be given short assignments (20–30 minutes) to help take concepts from class and put them into practice.
