S8E134: Episode 150 - Frank Newman: Creativity at the Edge

from The Common Creative · host Paul Fairweather and Chris Meredith

What happens when you combine a theatre director, teacher and facilitator with a passion for ‘ideas at the edge’? Say ‘hi’ to Frank Newman, who takes us on a fascinating journey from grassroots activism to the world of theatre and education. Along the way, he unpacks the powerful connections between creativity and business, making the case for valuing process over product in creative work. Frank challenges us to confront unconscious biases that can limit innovation and explains why careful observation is key to truly understanding creativity. He also delves into transdisciplinary learning and how creative leadership can shape more dynamic, inclusive, and forward-thinking organisations. Get ready for insights about emergent vs connective creativity and also the creative power of reflection.  Whether you're a seasoned creative or just starting out, Frank offers practical insights and everyday strategies to help you tap into your creative potential. _____________________________________________________________________ LINKS: Frank Newman - Special Guest LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/frank-newman-2a55329a Article {Creativity; what actually is it?): https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/creativity-what-actually-frank-newman/ trackingId=p%2FhzyaWRTOCc%2BO6VhyUFPA%3D%3D Selena Bartlett Episode - https://tinyurl.com/35fs8vtc Paul Fairweather - Co-host https://www.paulfairweather.com Chris Meredith - Co-host https://www.chrismeredith.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
