BLOW 08 Creative Arts Festival
Workshop.
With design-based thinking increasingly located between dimensions and disciplines, new thinking and ways of practicing are required to stay relevant in a post-disciplinary future.
My workshop ‘Courageous and Creative Living : You Are What You Practice’ offered a unique opportunity for creative practitioners to explore & experience connections between the Japanese martial art of Aikido and design leadership - to reflect on ‘how’ we think instead of purely ‘what’ we think.
Workshop activities included: creative thinking exercises, lecture, and some gentle Aikido practice (the awareness comes in the ‘doing’). Special thanks to Sensei Richard Halson (4th Dan) and Alex Natalli (2nd Dan) from Aikido Shinryukan for the demonstration.
