reach a solution. In this three-hour workshop, Eric will
engage participants in several arts-based activities that help them to learn what their own natural strengths and weaknesses are when solving problems creatively, as well as to discover new strategies that others use. Eric will also illuminate some strategies from artists that get particularly good results and how to apply these strategies in various environments.

"The Habits of Mind of Creative Engagement" with Eric Booth
11.28.07 | 5:30
Rackham Amphitheater, MI
Creativity is a national buzzword--in bestselling books, economic conferences, corporate priorities, education and the arts. Fine. But what are we really talking about? Pulling together the research on creativity, and three decades of work within the arts, education and business, Eric Booth will share his view (tested widely in practice around the country) of the actual skills we are talking about--the capacities humans use when they engage creatively in ANY medium, be it marketing plans or strings of musical notes, be it entrepreneurial in business media or innovative in artistic media. These essential core capacities, these verbs of art, can be developed, can be assessed, and can make a difference both the bottom line (corporate or artistic) and the lives of those who live them fully. There will be hands-on demonstrations, and a question and answer period.
