leave your computer



Ah yes, now I remember...we were focusing on a chosen country, becoming a mini-expert on a specific country that has nothing to do with our current work so that we can "fill the well" for those down times between projects when we're not sure what we want to create, write, paint, film or dance.

We've explored the food, mythology and hopefully, by now, you have a resource folder of websites that will come in handy. But today, it's time to get out from behind your computer and go somewhere.

TODAY'S CREATIVITY CHALLENGE:

Find a museum, stadium, gallery, theatre, hell, any venue that is featuring the art, music or dance of your chosen country. Track it down and go see a performance or take a look at the art.

Maybe your chosen country has a "town" within your city such as Chinatown or Koreatown or Little Italy. Get in your car or get on the subway and go visit.

Make the effort today to atleast find a physical location near you that relates to your country. Maybe you can't get there today but pick a place and a date and set it in stone.
