What Is Creativity? with Jane Hilberry
Episode description
Recently retired Colorado College professor of Creativity and poet, Jane Hilberry is a master teacher, a kind listener and an out-of-the-box thinker. We have a beautiful, challenging, life-affirming conversation about creativity -- What it is, How to teach it, Where it's found -- in schools, in one-on-one dialogue (conversation is improv!) and in relationships -- including the relationships we have with ourselves.
We also talk about each person’s essential essence (core beauty), and the benefits of art-making for mental health plus a healthier shared world.
Listen to it a few times over!
