There is also a sense I get that boundaries actually inspire creative endeavour (just go and try to write a haiku; or reflect on why our first poet laureate might have chosen a "Restricted Form" for our Biannual poetry contests...restricted forms in Open Space? Sacrilege! Or is it...?). Which is part of why the theme is so important and why the givens can also be important. If givens define a small space, it is our challenge (and maybe obligation) to open that small space as fully as possible for the participants to completely fill it. A space that is filled with energy is much more satisfying than one so huge that the energy just fizzles in one dim corner.
