Creativity is at the center of growth, new ideas, developments and vibrant communities. Theater has an understanding of the inherent value of all and can explore the vast canvas of humanity. This workshop is interactive and will explore how we open up channels of creativity, not only for the arts, but in all aspects of educational growth and development, both in individuals and more particularly in building groups which grow communities creatively. The substance of this workshop is based on the presenter's work with professional and developmental theater groups, schools, and in multicultural and multilingual environments in South Africa.
