TAE and the CREATIVE PROCESS
A movement from the felt-sense of deep knowledge to evocative new forms of expression
Have you asked yourself
What is my hidden or odd expertise that I developed in years of practicing in the world? What is the specialty that is just mine?
What do I know from my vast experience that I have never formulated before, but is what leads me in moments of "nothing comes" to the next step?
Is it possible for me to articulate and transmit such personal expertise to others?
Thinking At Edge (TAE) - was originally developed by the philosopher and psychologist Prof. Eugene Gendlin and colleagues at the University of Chicago.
TAE and the Creative Process is a unique approach developed by Shakio Institute based on the understanding that each person, each project, each story has an inherently intricate creative edge yet to be explored.
TAE and the Creative Process invites creators into a step by step movement from a felt-sense of meaningful knowledge, which cannot be formulated in conventional terms, to new and evocative forms of expression.
In this 14 session course, starting Dec. 6th, we will concentrate not only on exploring new or ongoing projects, but on how we can regenerate our unique creative powers, and continue to co-create ourselves as artists (and as beings fully human).
The first session will be an introduction session, open also to participants contemplating enrollment in the course.
Testimonials
Rachel Getz Salomon, cultural researcher, critic and curator
“The course opened my eyes and heart and lots of windows to realms of language and experience, extensive, deep and fascinating.
I feel this course is a must for research students. It is really a springboard for research and writing."
Anat Zilberman, architect
“There is an underground river full of knowledge and wisdom that runs beneath everything we see .... The TAE helps to turn it into a spring! Everyone in the field or field in which he researches / finds / creates ....”
Itai Tal - director, producer and screenwriter
"One of the best and most significant courses I have done in my life. I think everyone and in particular creators and artists should do such a course, at least once. The course helped me discover and reveal places in a script I could not see before. The encouragement to stay with the ‘nothing comes’ and the fact that the course was very practical, helped me to crack characters and plot lines over and over again in each of the sessions."
