We say that it’s the nature of creativity to manifest. And we say that it’s your nature as a human being to be creative. Do you believe it? After 39 steps, oh, blog entries? There’s proof out there so don’t just listen to us – but keep listening to us all the same. Here’s the proof of the pudding – or, in this case, the proof of the putting your attention to this story.
Charise’s Turn:
I found this compelling story of how Kate Trammel, James Madison University professor of dance, had the chance to teach creative movement to children in Chinese orphanages. These children had never been exposed to any of the arts, or to dancing even in a social setting --but given the opportunity, they danced. As she says, “They were born with everything they need to transmit life energy through movement. Without any external support whatsoever, the creative impulse somehow survived…nothing can take that away from us — no poverty, no abandonment, deprivation, or disability. Creativity is, quite literally, our birthright.” (Interviewed by Jessica Lewis).
