Dameron MidgetteA very important point on the nature of art and creativity...
-
Her talk addresses both the deeply personal and the universal. I think that's what good art does. What she's talking about is a very common human experience, but we tend to experience it alone. Perhaps the content doesn't speak to you, but it certainly did to me and clearly it has to many others.

Yule HeibelReally interesting, and borderline kooky (but therefore refreshing), talk on creativity/ the muse/ Genius, and strategies for dealing with same. Key: think of it as residing outside of yourself, as a "visitation," and in this way take the heat off yourself when you "fail" to deliver. But don't forget to show up - old-fashioned ideas about genius aren't an excuse for slacking off!

Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses -- and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person "being" a genius, all of us "have" a genius. It's a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk.

N. RotaA wonderful presentation on the history of the idea of channeling creativity instead of having to dredge it up with the fervent hope that people will stop killing themselves over the entire idea.
