Dr Paul Kleiman, Deputy Director PALATINE, The HEA Subject Centre for Dance, Drama and Music, Lancaster University

10-07-2007 by Imran Ali

In his presentation through a combination of pedagogic styles ranging from personal narrative through to traditional academic argument Dr Kleiman offers a deep historical critique of the notion of creativity and the way that in some senses it has become kind of creed; nobody denies the importance of creativity, but nobody can agree what it is and where it comes from. He goes onto to discuss a wide range of conceptions of creativity, from those based on psychological theories of the mind to those rooted in philosophy and cultural. The presentation ends with Dr Kleiman sharing some research that he has conducted on academics and their own ideas ( and fears!) about creativity and creative pedagogies.
