DESCRIPTION
Creativity comes from a place, and we get to participate in it. Storyjamming provides a style of play and some techniques for engaging the creativity in a place, and ultimately regenerating the kind of rich oral tradition that creates the kind of kinship, rooted in a particular place, that can help us become native.TRANSCRIPT

Regenerating Oral Tradition
Where does creativity come
from?
The mind is embodied, not just embrained.Neuroscientist Antonio D’amasio
It may be far more parsimonious, today, to suggest that mind is not at all a human possession, but is rather a property of the earthly biosphere—a property in which we, along with the other animals and the plants, all participate.David Abram, “The Air Aware,” Orion Magazine, Sep/Oct 2009
Creativity comes from a place...
...and we get to participate in it!
I am interested in the way that a man looks at a given landscape and takes possession of it in his blood and brain.Scott Momaday, The Man Made of Words

When we Story-jam, we share the same vivid waking Dream.Willem Larsen
