The poet Maya Angelou once said, “You can’t use up
creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” This week, The Creative Life hopes
to embody this ethos and tap into the more originative side of the self as we
work to deepen our understanding of what exactly it means to pursue a creative
passion as a profession.
To reach our goal, the group will be provided with ample
opportunities to write, think, and create. Each day will present a different
artistic outlet, and by the end of the week each student will have created a
piece of fiction, a poem, a short film, song lyrics, a literary magazine, and
will have participated in a literary reading at a coffee shop. And as an added
caveat, each will be able to label themself a published author!

The group will also learn from working artists as we engage
with working poets, professors,
musicians, artists, and film makers.
