This Salon is all about where to go and what to do to have better, bigger and more ideas. Cathy Haynes (School of Life – Curator of Public Programmes, Saïd Business School, University of Oxford) will mainline our brains in to new idea destinations, as she explains to us how to draw on the science, psychology and art of having ideas.
We will can then choose one of three 30 minute sessions designed to get your creative blood flowing immediately, either:
Song-writing with leading song writing expert and leading vocal coach (currently vocal coaching for BBC's The Voice) Juliet Russell, who says 'technology makes music easier to access than ever before, and therefore within everyone's grasp, in my session we will explore lyric writing and rhyme, structure and form, melody and harmony and collaboratively create a new song.'
Paper engineering with the Chairman of the British Origami Society, Mark Bolitho, who says 'origami is increasingly used as a creative tool in the design process, from packaging to the architecture of building design, we will explore exactly how this works in this hands on session.'
Understand how to use that phone on your camera far more creatively by taking better photographs with director /photographer Christian Banfield, who says 'taking good pictures isn’t just about the right app or filter - its using the light available to you, anticipating the moment, and putting in the story, and half an hour is enough to grasp the basics.'
Designed to leave you full of ideas of how to have ideas, and well on the way to implementing them.
