Day 20 - My Creative Autobiography

1. What is the first creative moment you remember?
It was a science fair in my 5th grade. I invented a lamp which had adjustable wing.
The size of light was changable.

I got silver medal of that. I was dissapointed by the result; I thought I was the best.
But later, I found same thing in a market. Mine was not that unique.

3. What is the best idea you've ever had?
Deciding to study Acting for my major.

Daydreaming about having lots of girl friends; sexy images I got from media.

6. What made you stupid?
It made me neglect all realationships related to my wife and family.
I became irresponsible if I did it. Oh, shame on me.
It made me hate myself. Low self-esteem.

...

8. What is your creative ambition?
Having my own theory of acting and train students.

Day 20 - Sick

I am sick, and I stop all my experimental movement.
- walk like an old man
- read like singing
- breathe like humming

It is painful just to be with pain.
How can I use this pain in creativity?

One thing I am really thankful is a painkiller; ibuprophen.
Bless the one who thought about painkiller and invent it.
Bless the one who invent the medicine.

I am very weak. I easily get sick; cold, backpain ...etc.
That's why I move like a tortoise, but it didn't work.
How can I save my energy? and How can I use it econimically?

Day 15 - Avatar; Creativity? Technology? or Just mixed one?

1. Awesome by technology

I haven't watched that kind of 3D IMAX movie before.
James Cameron is a good storyteller, too.
I didn't feel it was boring for 2 hours 40 minutes.
Every shot was vivid in front of my eyes.

Also, the scale was big enough. The director, Cameron did amazing job as he did in Tatanic.

2. But, tired by Japanese animations' theme - especially Miyazaki Hayao's

Avatar was like mixed version of "Mononoke Hime", "Laputa", "Naushika"
I saw so many same scenes from Hayao's movies.
And
there was a scene just like a great anthropologic movie, Baraka.

So, I would say the movie Avatar is mixed with 3 things -
1) Technology with great scale
2) Japanese animations
3) Anthropologic view in Hollywood

3. What is CREATivity?

This movie tells me about what CREATivity means in 21st century.
It doesn't have to be something new. It can be a mixed outcome.
And people accept it more easily.

Thought can start on something already done.
(but I don't want to copy it)

Day 10 - Audition

In an audition,
I used my CREATive IDEAs; moving like an old person, breathing with singing.

It relaxed me while I was waiting.

How can I build CREATive audition skills?
Uhm ...

Day 9 - Distraction

When I focus, I cannot breath - it means no singing.

When I am tired, I cannot walk like an old man.

When I feel guilty and weak, there is no smile on my face.


How can I overcome these problems CREATively?
That's another question.

Day 8 - what's my lens?

I started with some actions - humming, slow walking ... etc.
Now, it's time to say what's behind all the actions.

Whenever I think about CREATIVITY, I am reminded of a woman, Mary Overlie.
I cannot say that I understood her theory, but she, yes, not only her theory but also herself made me understand what creativity is.

http://www.sixviewpoints.com/

I defined creativity is an ability to see different (or many) facets.
A cell phone in my hand is mostly used for my hand ritual; rolling the material constantly.
The cell phone's primary usage is not for calling but the hand play in my life.
It's a different way to look at a cell phone to me.

People define the world in different way.
To Mary Overlie, her brand new laptop computer might be a chopping board (or something else ... she mentioned in her class, but I forgot)
Creativity is an accepting tool of that difference.

Now, I sing for breathing mostly.

Day 6 - move like an old man

CREATive THINKing - learn from turtle

I was in Aqua Tai Chi class with many senior ladies.
While moving slowly, I thought about moving like a turtle or tortoise.

Walking SLOW-----LY.
It can help me to relax my body even boost my wisdom ... ?

Now,
I smile
humming
moving slowly.

Live CREATively ....

Day 4 - Constant singer

Result of CREATive One

"I became a constant singer"

Breathing in and out with sound makes me a singer.
I kept singing.

I sang when I jogged.
I sang when I punched a punch bag.
And
I smile all the time.

Be creative!!

Day 3 - from everyday movement

1. CREATive One

"Breathing"

When I walk, I talk to myself;
"How to look, how to walk, how to breath ....
just those things can tell who is great actor... "

What can be creative beathing?
- breath in with sound? breath out with smile?
- beath in two times shortly, and one time longer?
... etc.

2. CREATive Two

"Speaking"

When I read the Bible, I sang.
- Musical Theatre style reading
Different rythm, pitch ...

LET's EXPLORE!

Day 2 - Where M I ?

I'M in MI.

Snowy,
Cold ,
...

I kept thinking about
"How I could impact the world around me?"

Two characters came out of my mind;
"House M.D.", "Castle".
They are creative problem solvers.

How I can use my talent to solve the problem around me?
with Creative thinking...
