Today I’m talking with Niklas Möller, the director of  “A New Tree Grows”, a beautiful interactive movie available right now on festivals and in its digital form. We talk about embodied technology, the power of ritual in theatre and how art allows us to communicate experiences that can’t be transmitted by words and have conversations that otherwise we wouldn’t be able to. Niklas’s work makes a bridge between art and technology, expanding the power of art, and creating a language that speaks directly to our hearts.

This is a special episode. Building a career as an entrepreneur and a theatre-maker taught me that I am way more resourceful, creative and connected than I ever imagined I could be. And so, in this episode, I would like to celebrate our creativity, our potential for re-invention and connection with this beautiful poem from Loris Malaguzzi, one of the thought-leaders of the Reggio Emilia Approach.

It’s no doubt that our world has radically changed in the last 60 years and even more rapidly in the last 20 years with the internet and the spread of digital devices. As a consequence, jobs and careers are also going through a big shift, where creativity, empathy and collaborative skills are becoming more and more valuable. Offering children and adults a balanced education, which focuses not only in knowledge, but also in wellbeing, problem-solving and creativity, in our world today, not only supports their personal flourishment but also their professional one. Art practices offer a unique way for developing quote and quote  soft skills and we as artists and creators, will have more and more opportunities to engage with the new work panorama as leaders and valued facilitators.

When we develop our daily practice, we start to approach our creativity and our art in a more honest and open way.

And that not only benefits ourselves but it also benefits others. So whether we feel like creating or not - we practice, regardless.

We're most ready when we forget our sense of self. When we’re fully in the moment, fully concentrated on the task we have at hand, and not on the result, the impression, on what others will say, if it’ll be good, if it’ll be bad. We’re here to serve with all that we are, with all that we have. And as we disappear, who we truly are comes up. And that’s real magic.

It’s time to throw the starving artist's story out of the window. Artists need to cultivate a healthier relationship with money, and it all starts with finding ways to keep your art career organized and profitable. That not only allows you to develop your creative practice further, but it also expands its impact in the world.

Does planning your year give you the itches? Do you feel anxious, does it feel like a recipe for frustration, does it feel limiting, like wearing tight clothes, when all you want to do (and definitely should be doing) is free dancing? I feel you. You’re not alone.

For most creators, having a friendly relationship with time it’s an intentional practice. We have so much more ideas than time to materialise them - and adding to that, beyond all the crazy-beautiful projects we feel called to start, we have well... life, like everyone else - bills to pay, children, cats and parrots to take care of, chores, grocery shopping, sick days… and hopefully a few good weeks of holidays too.

In today’s episode we talk about a few simple and powerful planning exercises for artists that will help you work this year feeling less anxious, more productive and free.

Sometimes things go well and according to plan, many many times they don't. Being Exponentially Creative is not necessarily getting everything you want, but it’s about not carrying the weight of your dreams, of your call, of your heart in your shoulders. We don’t always have an answer, but we always have a process - and fulfilment comes from a feeling of being on the right path - our path - and getting closer and closer to what we want.
