Creativity

Creativity as Birthright

We are formed as creative beings, able to develop and change. As Rick Rubin writes in The Creative Act: A Way of Being (2023):

“Creativity is not a rare ability. It is not difficult to access. Creativity is a fundamental aspect of being human. It’s our birthright.”

Developmental Theatre: Fearless Creativity teaches how to encourage our creativity birthright.

Environment Shapes Expression

The gift of creativity develops differently depending on whether the environment is encouraging or repressing. If the environment has not been encouraging, it is possible to recover our creative birthright.

No one starts from zero — the creative capacity is already there. What DT:FC offers is a set of tools and a structured, supportive environment in which that capacity can unfold.

Adaptive and Innovative Creativity

Creativity may be:

• Adaptive — reshaping, expanding, finding new uses for what exists
• Innovative — brand new, never seen before
• Some combination of both

All are worthy. All are useful. All are a birthright to express.

Our Goal

Our goal is to put creative tools into the hands of teachers and other helping professionals. The website contains theatre methods and processes that help people celebrate their creativity and teach the competency skills needed to add “Fearless.”
