Project Overview
Inspired Creativity featured two workshops, one for adults and one for teens, intended to help writers tap into their creative resources through the use of other art forms. “Writing as a Spiritual Discipline” explored the spiritual significance of writing and the transformative power of words. Local author Heidi Kratzke led the workshop while her husband Jonathan played live music which the writers reacted to in words. “Writing as an Artistic Collaboration” also featured Heidi and Jonathan Kratzke and explored how writers, painters, musicians, dancers and videographers use their gifts to portray the world via their medium.
