Creativity Workshop: Creative Writing, Drawing, Storytelling, and Personal Memoir NEWS, January 25, 2002 Hello. Here is the latest news on upcoming Creativity Workshops: creative writing, drawing, storytelling and personal memoir. This summer we will be having our workshops in Florence, Paris, Barcelona and Greece. It's a great way to explore your creativity and a new culture at the same time. We will also be holding spring workshops in New York City. The Creativity Workshop's goal is to help individuals believe in and develop their creative process through a series of writing and drawing exercises. Whether you are a writer, a business person, a teacher, or an artist we can help you discover and nurture your particular way of expression and break through the fears and blocks that inhibit creativity. If you are interested in reading more about the workshop, we can send you some very interesting magazine articles and interviews with the directors, Shelley Berc and Alejandro Fogel which will give you a deeper idea about the workshop's techniques, origins, and results. Please see below our updated Calendar for New York City and European workshops and general information on all our workshops.

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. Professor Carroll Blue, School of Communications, San Diego State University, San Diego, USA "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 feel as though I now have a focus, a method, a way of evolving my ideas and that the means are just as important as the end. I have created environments just to create in, and environments just to display the work in. My vision of attending to each detail, sound, smell, texture, substance... is starting to find a home. Thanks for opening my eyes to these essential aspects of creating through your guidance and example." Student. University of Iowa, Iowa City, USA. "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, USA. "Shelley and Alejandro's Creativity Workshop is amazing in that it breaks down all your fears about thinking and writing. If it wasn't for them I fear I never would have finished my master's thesis. I was blocked until I took this course." Francesca Salidu PHD candidate in Shakespeare, University of Pisa. San Miniato, Italy. "Shelley Berc and Alejandro Fogel taught their Creativity Workshop as American Cultural Specialists under the United States Information Service auspices. To say that they were extremely effective is a vast understatement. I would unreservedly recommend their course. They have abundant creativity, energy, and a wealth of skills." Gloria Berbena, Asst. Cultural Attach�, US Information Service, US Embassy. Rome, Italy. "A special experience. Berc and Fogel opened us up to new and wonderful ways of looking at our creativity."

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.
