Creativity


Creativity is the fertile ground in which acting can take root. What we must remember about creativity is that it is extra, meaning that the energy needed to create is greater than the energy it takes to live an ordinary life, it is above ordinary existence, to live a creative life is extraordinary. A healthy creative life can help us persist to the point of realization, and revelation, the opening of doors long closed, doors which can breath air into an ailing society sick with in it’s own fears and prejudices. Creativity needs the proper environment to flourish in, initially fertile ground to lay the oak seed that will eventually take root and grow to a point at which it’s shadow will touch many things in the course of a day. To realize your maximum potential, as an artist requires the proper environment initially until understanding has been mastered. Let this space be that environment for you. The Japanese say about painting bamboo, study bamboo for ten years then forgets all about it and paint. Meaning that once the creative principals are understood go out and do it without any thought, just do it. These creative principals are the keys. This is an exploration to allow us to openly discover and define what these are in the months to come.
