PODCAST ABOUT CREATIVE MORNINGS :
“PLOMO Y CEMENTO“ by Alvaro (for Spanish speakers)

“CREATIVE MORNINGS PROJECT“

For the past three years, I have been teaching a class called
“Creative Mornings,” mostly every Friday.

The structure of the class remains consistent, but its content is greatly influenced by the participants, changing considerably each time based on their intentions, needs, and wishes. I have designed this class to incorporate various techniques and practices that I have explored and learned over various duration. These includes anything that has inspired my creativity and that I consider fundamental knowledge for achieving individual and collective empowerment and freedom. The range of techniques includes bodywork, acting techniques, instant improvisation, personal growth, conscious kink, fantasy, ritual, and creative play.

The class has evolved thanks to the responses of those who regularly participate. Following what I refer to as the “Lazy Warm Up” – consisting of establishing a privileged relationship with our own bodies, celebrating and cherishing individual body parts through self-massage, repetitive movements, meditations, and visualizations – I encourage everyone to reflect on what their bodies, minds, and souls need or would like to experience in the present moment. Participants then write down their thoughts on colored papers, as many as needed to achieve a feeling of satisfaction.

I collect all the papers, randomly select one or sometimes more, and spontaneously create an exercise on the spot. After its execution, I inquire about the author(s) of the paper that inspired the exercise, and those individuals are eligible to receive a bonus. The bonus can either be a specific request from the involved person(s) or a suggestion from me or someone else. The creativity of everyone is called upon to collaborate in the playful process.

Throughout the class, we engage in a multitude of activities, exploring new ways of interacting with each other, allowing ourselves to explore and reinvent our identities, share and play, heal and surrender, and ultimately enjoy and co-create a transformative and meaningful morning.

It serves as a space where we encounter other Creative Beings and practice being human together.

Since the first class, I have collected all the papers, and on the 22nd of February, I presented an interactive exhibition, as part as the explorative series of exhibition LeLab, that take place every two months, as initiative of painter and creative activist Jonathan Apelbaum, my dear brother.

I currently started with the first  “Creative Mornings Teacher Training Program,” where I share the concepts, the sources, the fundamental goals and skills that need to be trained to facilitate this type of processes.

My wish is to create a small army of Creative Mornigs Warriors to inspire as many people as possible, into a “ Creative Revolution“.

The program is going to take place in Berlin but I am also accepting foreigner students that will be able to follow the program on line. The training will take place on regular meetings over the span of a year, culminating with a performance as final step of the learning process: the “graduation“ of the students will be presented as a performance and will include the participation of the public to a very special “Creative Mornings ” class.
I am looking forward to learn from my students and to witness, as some of them suggest, the existence of a Creative Morning in many different cities and languages !
