Experimenting with processes that allows the spontanious spewing of ideas to actually BE the product.<br /><br />Most people are paralyzed when confronted with that blank page. The pressure can be intimidating. And we end up intellectualizing over the whole thing so much, only widening the split between our rational minds and creative instincts.<br /><br />Recommended reading: <a href="http://www.freeplay.com/Top/index.m2.html"><em>Saving the Cat</em></a> by Steven Nachmanovitch<br /><br />I've borrowed some ideas from the his writing -<br /><br />Ideas that form masterpieces start out as trivial, ridiculous, spontanious acts/scribbles/doodles/etc.<br />If we can just START - someplace, anyplace - then we have something we can build on and refine as we go on.<br />And in the end, truth isn't a formulated, clever response. It leaps from our deepest selves - instinctively.<br /><br />THE HOT POTATO EXPERIMENT:<br /><br />1. Inspired ideas initiate inter-creativity. Send some inspiring words/pictures to a friend (player) to provoke a creative response. <br /><br />2. A hot potato has to be passed around without even touching it. The moment you recieve some word/pictures from a player, you have to make up a response and send it - instantly, no thinking.<br /><br />3. The exchange continues... building on previous ideas, refining it... <br /><br />and this corresponence IS the product, a 'documentary' of this creative exchange process. <br /><br />Mail between friends are personal accounts, it's intimate, and that's something no amount of word-wizardy can immitate. Spontaneity and personal, unofficial (not product-driven) inter-action creates authentic, original ideas.<br /><br /><a href="http://csnipls.blogspot.com/2007/12/secrets-of-puppet-play-by-scratchy.html">MORE CLUES [click->]</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2574027021698586106-2320461783820369697?l=childmasterplay.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>children say nippleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05876611422171470813noreply@blogger.com1
