Teaching and Creativity

Teaching and coaching are creative activities. We often talk about the art and science of coaching the physical arts but then we always bias ourselves towards the science. Why is that? Is it more important? I’m not sure it is. I’m not even sure it’s more important than the art even for reaching our desired outcomes.

I’d like to change that in my own simple way.

I appreciate the science but I absolutely love the art, the act of creating and designing a physical practice for a student completely lights me up. Talking about the Krebs Cycle… not so much.

This is where my passion lies, the joy of enhancing the dance of human movement through life or athletic activities.

Too much science equals too much mechanic and not enough bio.

When we focus too much on the science we lock ourselves into dogmatic approaches, drudgery and other artificial methods that are completely disconnected from the dance, the game, the roll. A creative coach, A Physical Creative however, will look at the same movements and see it with different eyes, the eyes of an artist.

If you’d like to experience this approach in person please check out our Physical Creative Live Workshops.
