Approaches to Creative Learning
As a Performing Arts specialist, Anne understands that the essence of the creative act requires a pioneering spirit of adventure; entering into the unknown without prejudice, fear or preconception.
Anne works from the premise that ‘out of nothing comes something’. The true creative act requires vision and trust in potential, and the freedom this engenders is transformational.
Where there is a willingness and ability to find one’s own form organically, through a creative process that allows for evolution, discovery and change, what is manifested is always something unique, original and real.
Experiencing the freedom and excitement of discovery and giving something a meaningful form in a positive and dynamic environment inspires confidence in expression, and is the essence of creative learning.
