Love, Wellness, and Creativity, or Getting Violent with your Process
from The ClearOut
In this episode, before getting to the main topic, Dara observes how disconcertingly warm it is for November, and argues that things being not quite right can be extremely disruptive. He commends teachers for persevering amidst the unending Covid disruptions. The first part of the episode concludes with why his daughter felt the need to say "I hate you" to him. The main meat of the episode revolves around creativity and what conditions are most conducive to its thriving. Dara offers a theory of creativity that sees it as an expression of love and wellness. He factors in honesty, authenticity and vulnerability as being central to fear-free creative flow and bold risk-taking. He also looks at the art vs artist debate, paying special attention to Picasso and how two very different artists perceive the man and his work. He shares the thoughts of others on the creative process which includes Flaubert, Philip Roth, and Fanny Brice, of all people. A movie recommendation is popped in at the end to leave everyone feeling warm and fuzzy. Post on Hannah Gadsby's Nanette and truth-telling: https://theclearout.com/2018/08/01/simple/ C.A.N.
