Cultivating... Creativity!

Last night we went to a lecture given by Sir Ken Robinson at the Park City Performing Art Center. Sir Robinson is an author, speaker, and advisor on education in the arts to government, non-profits, and education among many others. At first we had very low expectation and as the evening went on, we were quite impressed by the man and his thoughts. He spoke to us about education and creativity and how many elements such as society, parent and teachers manage to kill the best in us.

What's certain is that he managed to keep us interested by talking to us for nearly two hours. While he didn't provide us with a step-by-step itinerary to creativity, he set the stage for our own self-exploration and inspire us to get out of the beaten path in order to better ourselves. I suggest you visit his website and preview the video that follow to grasp the essence of what his interesting Englishman who now lives in Los Angeles had to say...
