Dancing the 'Arc' of Creativity - Paintbrush & Ivories

What this episode covers

Developing an idea from the creative spark through to a finished product has a certain ‘arc’. In this episode, Jennifer and Michelle talk about what’s involved for their music / song-writing and painting / jewellery design fields. In particular, how it is experienced from a head and heart level as well as the role of control and surrender. Inspirational people and resources mentioned in this podcast include: Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (books: Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience and Creativity: Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and Invention; TED Talk); and the book Anna: The Voice of the Magdalenes.
