Rope Flows for Creativity

As you know I’m a very avid reader and Creativity is one of my favorite genres to research and study. I thought I’d share some highlights from two of my favorite books and walking and handcraft and its relationship to creativity.

The above highlight comes from Handmade- Creative Focus in the Age of Distraction.
It’s written by Gary Rogowski, a woodworker but his thoughts on creativity reaches well beyond just woodworking.

The two highlights above come from Rick Rubin’s new book The Creative Act.

These are the ropes I use mostly:

Flow Ropes (Amazon Brand)

Octomoves Flow Ropes

I’ll be doing some rope reviews shortly.

Building Better Movers ( and Coaches. )

A moving body is a learning body.

In my Creative Movement Live workshops everyone moves with everyone...And often times it's the fine motor control work that people need/want the most.

And, as a teacher, artist, and leader, I try to get the creative process moving, step aside, and give it a chance to find its own way.

Creative Movement- Bear Crawl Play

The task of this movement situation is to keep the yoga block wedged between both players/artists as they move through some patterns.

This is no right or wrong. Just play, create riddles and movement situations to help one another create and grow.

I borrow heavily from martial arts and their particular approach to creative movement and problem solving, as well as physical and artistic expression.

Creative Movement is a poetic, playful discipline which aims to revitalize and rejuvenate an individual's ability to deeply perceive and listen to the body and develop expressive and creative potential.

The physical body, is a source and medium of our artistic life and is considered an essential element in the creative process, despite the artistic language in which it may be realized.

Creative Movement Live Workshops

What is it that we’re doing here at OUR Creative Movement Live Workshops ?

We use physical practices that are simple, enjoyable and repeatable. We design play-based activities that encourage physical freedom, creativity and vitality. And because we are artist, creative movers, we are not bound by any one discipline or way. We use, we steal and repurpose ideas, tools and resources from the old ways. We cultivate a way that is adaptive and alive to create a beautifully moving, adaptable and creative human being.

Creative Movement Live Workshops

Creative Movement is a general term used in a broad field of physical disciplines connected to the relationship between body, mind, and creative spirit.

I borrow heavily from martial arts and their particular approach to creative movement and problem solving, as well as physical and artistic expression. Creative Movement is a poetic, playful discipline which aims to revitalize and rejuvenate an individual's ability to deeply perceive and listen to the body and develop expressive and creative potential.

Hope to work with you soon.
