The intention for this course is to mine deeper levels of creativity. We do this by tracking specific questions in order to arrive at our authentic selves.
Who are you? prompts us to look at social blind-spots. These are groups of people who 'we do not see'. [Theory U (C. Otto Scharmer) http://www.ottoscharmer.com/publications/summaries.php]
The blind-spot potentially holds a store house of creativity. It requires courage and the help of others to look at it.
Our project so far:
- establish your group (facebook and in class) and work with this group as support for you to explore the terrain
- establish your blog and begin to document your process
- at this stage establish:
- the social area you do not see (remember these are people you do not see as individuals, there is a tendency to group, generalise, and stereotype)
- explore the feelings which arise when contemplating this 'group'
- write about this in your journal
- keep your journal private
- your blog is public documentation, not personal process
- explore these feeling responses for the next week
- on 17 August I will post the next part of the process
