Alan will delve into the topic of understanding and enhancing creativity, offering practical tools inspired by Feldenkrais learning strategies. These strategies focus on fostering choice, embracing the unknown, discovering new possibilities through structure and constraints, building confidence in navigating uncertainty, finding skeletal grounding amidst chaos, shifting habits, and using attention to approach tasks in new ways. The talk will be interactive, featuring short experiential exercises that bring these concepts to life through movement, allowing participants to embody and internalize the ideas firsthand.

Additionally, a filmed segment will showcase Yvo Mentens as he explains his conceptual model of creativity to students at the CNSAD, highlighting the pivotal role of attitude in the creative process. We’ll also hear from Caterina Forte, an Italian practitioner who researches the effects of immersive music and Feldenkrais on the production of images and creativity in sighted and blind subjects.

The event will conclude with a Q&A session with Alan Questel.
