Creativity and the Next Generation
Posted on 27. Apr, 2009 by Linda Lord in Blog, Dramatic Presentations
I announce this third of three workshops with mixed emotions. It has been wonderful working with my daughter. I have watched her develop and become more confident in front of audience. We have had an opportunity to implement our teachings in the development of the workshops themselves. But there have been disappointments, as well. The audience numbers have not been what we had hoped. That in itself has provided teaching points for both of us. Regardless of the size of the crowd, we have persevered. That is a powerful message that I had lost track of in the moment.
So, this week we talk about creativity. I believe there is a link between perseverence and creativity. Sometimes when we struggle and face seemingly overwhelming obstacles, it is the time for us to tap into the creativity that resides within us. We cannot rely on the way things have always been done. We cannot depend on someone, or something, else to provide the answers we seek. We have to take time to think. We have to take time to contemplate what is the same and what has changed. We have to know what the real, underlying issues are. I am working on this for the workshop and for my business.
For those who are available to attend this final workshop to raise money for the Odyssey of the Mind team, onWednesday, April 29 at 6:30 pm, please email me for details. I look forward to getting creative with you for the benefit of the next generation.
