Creativity Courses in Europe and New York
Creativity Courses in Europe and New York http://www.creativity-course.com The Creativity Workshop is dedicated to teaching people about their creativity and how to use it in all aspects of life, work, and creative expression. In a non-competitive, nurturing atmosphere, the Workshop helps participants develop creative skills, expanded sense perception, innovative problem solving, inspired brainstorming, and new ways of looking at life as exciting and transformative. Hello, Our workshops from June through September will take place in Europe. They are a wonderful way to learn and travel. Please see below our complete Calendar including our 9 day Summer 2004 workshops in Europe-- including classes in Dublin, Venice, Prague, Barcelona and Paris! Whether you are a writer, a business person, a teacher, or an artist, the Workshop can help you discover and nurture your particular way of expression and break through the fears and blocks that inhibit creativity. Working with thousands of individuals, businesses, and institutions since 1993, the Creativity Workshop helps people believe in and develop their imagination through using a unique series of exercises in memoir, creative writing, visual arts, sense perception, brainstorming, and storytelling. Our concentration is on the process of creativity rather than the product. We emphasize the importance of play and the sharing of ideas to nurture creative growth.

What people say about the Creativity Workshop: "The new millennium needs bold, creative men and women who can turn their dreams into reality... Shelley Berc and Alejandro Fogel show how you can do this through their challenging and inspiring creativity workshops...even a simple first contact will prove what these two talented teachers can do for your own gifts." Dr. Kirpal Singh, Writer, Professor Singapore Management University. "I have attended at least 10 creative seminars and this creativity workshop is far above the others in its inspiration, positive spirit and techniques for nurturing creativity. The Creativity Workshop changed me forever and moved me forward in managing my creative companies, but more importantly in my personal determination, commitment and creativity in my own projects. This workshop is important for anyone who wants to better understand, develop and celebrate their creativity in their personal or business life." Barbara Roberts, President and CEO Acoustiguides, New York City "Thank you for the great, great inspiration and fun of the Creativity Workshop. It helped me get a whole screenplay done during a trip to Mexico afterwards. It was great for me and my students. I don't think I've ever seen them so happy." Doris Doerrie, Filmmaker, Professor Munich Film School, Germany "Shelley and Alejandro created an atmosphere where everyone from student, to business professional, to published novelist felt equally comfortable creating and sharing stories, drawings, experiences. I've explored other places and workshops that make me feel good while I'm there, that provide activities that I know I really should make time for when I go back to the real world. But this workshop is the first to provide methods and exercises I not only want to use but feel compelled to use, in fact have already used. I need to mention what I think was one of the key ingredients of the workshop: the other attendees. I found them to be amazing, inspiring, fascinating people." Kelly Hevel, Planning Manager Pfizer, Inc., New York City "This is my third workshop coming up and I can't wait! Shelley and Alejandro ever so gently are able to get us fellow travelers (and not students) in to a discovery mode that emerges us deep into the experience of our very own creativity. You are magicians who invite us to return to the best of our childhoods. Once there we recapture those golden days of play and dream and fantasy. I'm very happy to know and experience the alchemy that you label a Creativity Workshop." Carroll Blue, Professor School of Communications, San Diego State University, San Diego, CA "This class was THE MOST enriching, enlightening, inspirational class I have ever taken. The way I work and what I create will never be the same." Student University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA "I cannot tell you how inspiring your workshop was on a number of levels! I continue to draw inspiration from it!" Deborah B. Reeve, Ed.D., Deputy Executive Director National Association of Elementary School Principals, Washington, DC "I thought long and hard before deciding to commit the time and money to attend a 10-day Creativity Workshop in France, but it turned out to be one of the best investments of my life. Every hour brought fresh insights, ideas, and inspirations for both professional and personal development. I'm still drawing from the wealth of stimulation that I received and I expect to do so indefinitely. Will I return for another Creativity Workshop in the future? Absolutely! I would recommend this experience to anyone." Laura Fasick, Professor Minnesota State University, Moorhead, MN I produced as much poetry in ten days in Crete as I did in a month in a conventional poetry workshop in another European setting. The primary difference was the ease of creation and the fun I experienced in the Creativity Workshop, and I also saved time and money. Shelley and Alejandro�s emphasis �In process� works. I also enjoyed the company of my husband in this workshop; he isn�t a poet and wouldn�t normally attend a poetry workshop. The multi-genre/arts approach has many benefits to this end. Sally Naylor, Poet and English Teacher Baylor School, Chattanooga TN "Because I write for a living, I had forgotten how to write for fun. I learned how to get to that "fun" part of writing again at this workshop." Amy White, VP Internal Corporate Communications Cardinal Health, Worthington, OH "I wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I enjoyed the workshop. It was incredible. The exercises and your encouragement were wonderful. But, more importantly, your sensitivity and perceptivity in regard to others and the human condition is unbelievable. I wish I knew 10 more of you!" Neil H. Schwartz, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology California State University, Chico "Too often in the workplace, a fear of being judged, of "failure," or of appearing "foolish" to others stifles our most creative thinking. The Creativity Workshop showed me how to first examine, then overcome my personal insecurities so that I am contributing with more freedom, boldness and confidence than ever before." Barbara Bazaldua, Director of Editorial Disney Consumer Products, Anaheim, CA "An exceptional choice of location, (Paris) + an intelligently conceived program + a pair of talented teachers of complementary expertise who have a knack for being present when guidance is needed and absent when it is not+ a diverse bunch of interesting people all bent to develop a side of them that is all too often ignored = a successful and deeply enriching common experience. This seasoned teacher left the workshop with a sizable bag of useful ideas to motivate her students to write more and better, a sketchbook full of essays for herself. I give this course an A." Nicole Fandel, Teacher of French Concord Academy, Acton, MA "The workshop helped me to determine the elements I needed to have in my life for me to continue to be a successful creative thinker. As principal of an elementary school I have been able to put together enough of the workshop�s material to teach my staff the skills of being a more creative thinker and, in turn, they will teach the students. Shelley and Alejandro are masters in their craft." Lee Koran, Principal St. Patrick Fine Arts Elementary School, Alberta, Canada Founded and directed by Shelley Berc and Alejandro Fogel in 1993, the Creativity Workshop has been taught by them at educational, corporate, cultural and governmental institutions throughout the world.

His ongoing project 'Root to Route' chronicles his father's journey through the Holocaust years. His work is in private collections and museums around the world. Berc and Fogel explain in theory and demonstrate in practice the concepts of originality, 'appropriation', memory and imagination. Under their guidance, participants explore their own creative processes through different writing and drawing exercises. They emphasize the intimate link between personal and public spheres, individual and social practices, history and myth, dream and reality. The focus of the workshop is on process not product and to help participants find life-long tools of creative expression. http://www.creativity-course.com To canc�l these communications: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
