OVERVIEW
This is a brand new series of sessions designed to stimulate
and support your creative endeavors & enable you to explore and develop
your own creative voice and to participate more fully in Exeter
Drawing on advice and techniques from a wide range of
artists, facilitators and teachers, the program is designed to have a real and
ongoing impact on your creative practice and provide you with a toolkit to help
you overcome your artistic dilemmas.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
It is for
individuals who want to feel more in charge of their arts practice and people
who want to enjoy the company of like-minded people. It is open to people from
any art-form, but will be particularly suited to those working in visual or
written media.
The group size will
be limited to 6-10 people so as everyone is able to participate fully with
maximum attention from the facilitator and maximum opportunity to work
together.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
We will avoid teaching or the expert-knows-all approach.
Instead we walk the talk of the Japanese proverb: none of us is as smart as all
of us. Each of the techniques will come alive for you through team learning in
which the
knowledge, experience and skills of participants and facilitators
alike create a rich and dynamic learning experience for everyone.
Because we recognise that the arts are skills-led rather
than an academic subject you will be learning actively. We will typically begin
exploring a technique with a brief interactive introduction. This is followed
by a practical hands-on exploration individually, in pairs or threes, then we
will have an interactive review of the technique and its applications.
You will also work together or on your own to produce a
piece or piece of work for display in an event at the Innovation Centre at the
end of the program. This will help you to build your support network and help
you define what sort of work you want to make based on a real experience.
Each week the session will
- Describe a recommended technique for exploring your personal creative practice and explain the reasoning behind it. This will be followed by practical experimentation and discussion
- Give you space and structure to develop in collaboration or alone a piece or pieces of work for display at the end of the program.
