WHY!
"We are currently navigating a landscape characterised by 'ever-shortening attention spans,' artistic mediocrity, and the influence of AI.
To address these challenges and collective frustrations, I am leveraging my 35 years of experience in arts and music, along with my 25 years in academia. I am offering a 4-week block-based (2-hour) series of sessions designed to cultivate high-level creative and critical thinking skills through short, hands-on exercises, discussions, and presentations.
