Scopo di Conversations about Creativity – Working artists share what works è quello di dialogare con un ampio parterre di personaggio per indagare il loro approccio al lavoro e le modalità con cui coltivano professione e passione. Scrive in proposito l’autore, Cecil Vortex:

I’d always thought art was about sitting around, waiting for inspiration to strike. As a result, I did a lot of waiting and not that much creating. But it turns out, art and inspiration don’t have to (entirely) work that way. You don’t have to just wait. There are actual techniques you can use — habits that help drive inspiration, ways to tackle a blank page and to catch ideas as they spark through the day. Why didn’t anyone tell me that before? Like, when I was 140?

Anyways, hoping not to lose any more time, I began to gather up a personalized set of these techniques — what seemed to work for me. And then I started to wonder, what techniques have other artists come up with?

The result of that question is this here brand-new cv.com feature: “Conversations about Creativity.” Over the next several weeks, you’ll be hearing from dancers, poets, computer graphic effects artists, illustrators, stand up comics, musicians, and a host of other creative professionals about how their creative process works, how they deal with dry periods, and what they do to stay productive, keep their work fresh, and generally tap their personal woosh.
