All human beings are potentially creative...

"A Performance Seminar in Creativity and Communication"provides the individual a rich immersion in an atmosphere that encourage creativity.
They open a door to the need of human beings to contact, restore and use their creative resources, both for greater harmony within themselves and with their society.

The seminars propose recovery of the creative self through group activities and interaction.
In the seminars there is work and, in its broadest sense, play without preconceived goals and competition.
The activities are designed in a way that allows the emergence of the individual's spontaneity and his intuitive, non preconceived responses.

The Seminar designs itself around two premises: all human beings are potentially creative and, what may seem startling, individual creativity can occur more readily in the process of a group interaction and not in an ivory tower setting.
The atmosphere is such that the participants have the chance to relate directly to others spontaneously and emotionally.
This is made possible because verbal language, with its repertoire of disguises, taboos and convoluted implications, has been removed.

Each must be prepared to know and accept risk in his work. It is taking a chance that dispels insecurity and uncertainty.
The brave hero inevitably confronts risk on his path.
The work implements the important sense of play in situations that also encourage experiencing risk and entering the spirit of the game, with all its risk and open-ended possibilities.
The individual sees that there are infinite solutions to a single problem and that creativity has a very broad base.
Leadership, if it emerges at all, is transitory during the work and passes from one member of the group to another, never becoming a fixed role for any one participant.
