Overview

This book considers the role and function of creativity for anchoring educational practices both in universities and beyond. Crucially, the educational practices in question model responsive, careful and attentive encounters with an unfolding present. Reinterpreting the ground-breaking creative processes of leading artists, writers, musicians and dancers, this book offers a toolkit of invitations and encounters that demonstrate how creativity can be practiced – and taught – as a competency that cultivates expertise in harnessing experiment, curiosity, somatic intuition and collaborative practices of world-building. In doing so, the book mounts a vital critical call for developing languages, approaches and methods in both digital and face-to-face learning environments that reconsider creativity as a literacy foundational to all learning settings. Vital to diverse disciplines, fields and professional sectors, this book boldly changes the conversation around the conspicuous role creativity takes in shaping our learning and teaching futures.
