Creative expression. What does the term really mean? Maybe describing it is individual, but doing it gives an incredible feeling. Essentially, there are two ways to do it. One self-induced, the other in classes.
A self-induced creative outlet that can be found almost anywhere is Karaoke. Usually, Karaoke is at a bar or at a party. Karaoke is fun for many to do. A person takes a microphone and sings along to music with visual clues of the lyrics. For onlookers, it’s fun to see people have fun with this.
Also, there are open-mic poetry events to spur creativity. People sign up and read their poems. I noticed the local library hosting one recently. I knew a couple of poets who went there to read their poetry.
Dance schools are in many towns. I think there are four in Hanford, and one in Armona. These structured classes of creativity are more common and mom’s love them for their kiddos.
Our creative outlet is on a stage. For the time being we offer free acting classes for anyone that fills out our application form. Our acting methods are the Stanislavski Method and Scene-Study. We throw in improv now and then.
Acting is fun and we discovered that most of our students never had a chance to try it in school. They come to us. Then there are parents who have children that need an alternative creative outlet. They come to us.
Creative outlets are a human requirement. It is a feel-good phenomenon. People know this to be true. For many, it is essential.
