Countdown to Battle - 3 Days to Go

Have a video to get us started today...

Right, now that's out of the way (Thank Emma's fiance for that vid), lets get down to business.

Creativity: Method or Magic is my next victim.

This site is basically an essay on Creativity.

Hense I won't go into too much detail because it's written in goobledegook (Essay technobable).
It tries to sum up creativity by saying, what isn't creative, whether it's a trait or a state and by trying to explain how it works.

For example it talks about problem solving and that creativity isn't achievable if 'anything goes' as the creative mind doesn't have to come up with that hard a solution.

Creativity is also said to be shown in improvisation and performance, as creativity has to occur for it to flow and for a performance to work well, you can't just copy a script if you're doing a play, or learn the words if you're singing, you have to be able to show emotions, think on your feet if something goes wrong...

Have you ever seen the last few days of a pantomime?

If you haven't you have missed some of the most creative stuff...

Because Bristol is often the last stop on a panto's tour, by the last few days the actors are tired and sometimes fed up, and you can see it when they mess up their script and then try to cover it by continuing as if nothing has happened, it's brilliant, especially if it's the last day because they will often come out with something completely unrelated and they have to creatively get back to the script.

*Shakes head* Distracted again but so I can see where how it could say performance is creative...

But if I'm brutally honest, I'm no good with essays so I made a mistake choosing this website and I'm now going to run away, far away!
