Creativity Workshop: Writing, Drawing, Storytelling, and Personal
Memoir
NEWS, November 25, 2001
Hello.
Here is the latest news on the Creativity Workshop: creative writing,
drawing, storytelling and personal memoir.
We are all born creative, curious and imaginative but these qualities
sometimes fade with the passage of time. The Creativity Workshop's goal
is to help people get their imaginations back. Whether you are a
writer, a business person, a teacher or an artist we can help you find
and develop your particular way of expression and break through the
fears associated with creation.

1...Creativity Workshop: General Information
This internationally renowned intensive workshop brings together people
of all backgrounds, cultures, and interests to discover new and
exciting tools for generating creativity and thinking and working in
new and exciting ways by using creative writing, visual arts, and
brainstorming techniques.
Process not Product
The Creativity Workshop is for anyone interested in expanding their
creative potential. The workshop is attended by educators, artists,
business executives, writers, lawyers, doctors, homemakers, advertising
and design people--all with the common goal of experimenting with their
imaginations and finding new ways to stimulate and expand their
creative potential. Shelley Berc and Alejandro Fogel have developed a
series of exercises designed to help participants develop and recognize
their individual creative processes. Participants explore different
artistic materials and mediums in order to discover their own unique
ways of expression and to learn to break through the fears and
distractions that inhibit creativity.
Tools for a Lifetime
The exercises used in the Creativity Workshop are intended to become
the tools for a lifetime of creative expression. Participants are
encouraged to draw from all kinds of resources of creativity -such as
the oral tradition, dreams, childhood memories, sense perceptions and
intuition. Working both individually and in collaborative groups,
participants explore their imaginative potential through exercises in
writing, drawing, collage, map making, story telling and guided
visualization.

4...What people say about the Creativity Workshop
"The new millennium needs bold, creative men and women who can turn

workshops...even a simple first contact will prove what these two
talented teachers can do for your own gifts." Dr. Kirpal Singh, Writer,
Professor, Singapore Management University.

for me. It opened up new ways to look at my work and I found new
friendships. I spent 15 fantastic days in an incredible place. Shelley
and Alejandro are superb teachers!" Vera Eisenberg, painter, Argentina
"The Workshop was such a powerful experience for me, something I never
expected nor would I ever be able to repeat it." Rolfe Werner,
Engineer. Canberra, Australia.
"I found the workshop extremely valuable in generating awareness of my
creativity and in stimulating ideas." Jeanne Arthur, Executive Officer,
ACT Board of Secondary School Studies. Canberra, Australia.
"I feel as though I now have a focus, a method, a way of evolving my
ideas and that the means are just as important as the end. I have
created environments just to create in, and environments just to
display the work in. My vision of attending to each detail, sound,
smell, texture, substance... is starting to find a home. Thanks for
opening my eyes to these essential aspects of creating through your
guidance and example." Student. University of Iowa, Iowa City, USA.

Shakespeare, University of Pisa. San Miniato, Italy.
