Creativity Workshop

Everyone is born creative. We all have the creative muscle, but like any muscle, without use it atrophies. Using exercises drawn from the world of improv comedy and creativity training tools and based on current thought on the nature of creativity, Professor Aylesworth will guide you to tone your curiosity, work out your imagination and strengthen your creative muscles.
