Creativity is...

Your entry played in a different speaker than everyone else's I've listened to! How'd you DO that!!! ;-)

That's some tricky creativity.

Clearly, something was in the air on the evening of May 12th. The approaches were different, but with much common ground.

I enjoyed listening to your entry; for a laugh and perhaps a shudder of recognition, check out mine, Timing Is - Everything.

wow. these comments are worth the entry angst!! thanks so much.

coming from you very creative guys and gals that means a lot to me.

And with McGuyver-like skill she makes a voice something powerful to listen to. I really like the pauses in your piece, where you let your words sink in and the voices/ambient sound/music peek through the lace of your prose. What a great submission. Really, (not to be too cheesy here) one of the most creatively crafted I've come across. Good luck!

The multi-layered background was the perfect counterpoint to your voice. Very nice! Great production and a warmth that's perfect for NPR.

You have a very appealing radio voice, and, obviously, a creative mind!!!
I suspect your show would be captivating AND help define creativity more broadly.

ah, but creativity is about more than art...
creativity is about finding solutions, looking at things in a different way, from the other side,doing something unique in whatever field.

Thanks for the listen Jennifer.

I love this idea- why put limitations on what we think of as art? Recognizing the extraordinary in the things and people that are around us every day can only be a good thing (tu sais). Good luck!

I had to listen a few times, to make sure that the background conversations weren't part of what you were saying. I'm still not sure.

It certainly held my attention and your idea that everyone is creative made me think a bit.

Thanks, it was certainly worth my time to listen. Good luck to you! :)

Thanks for the creative entry about creativity! I've always wondered when someone commands you to be creative can you really, truly "be creative" or is it something that just happens organically. Something I've run up against now and again and it always leaves me wondering!
Looking forward to hearing more!
Thanks,
Hannah

Listen to "Welcome to Kidville" http://www.publicradioquest.com/audio/user/2111 and check out "The Day My Mother's Head Exploded" on http://www.prx.org/

I loved you had this background jumble thing going on in the background and you would let your narrative breath so that we could get random glimpses of this happy free form thing. And then the ending of, "which happens to be the Republic of China." What the heck? I thought that was great!

Yay for creativity! Indeed, it comes in ALL forms.
Nice piece.

You'll have to listen to my radio show to find out if I'm right or not about creativity

And, as for more of me... well, I made a creative choice. To me, hostiness is more about listening than talking.

Of course I could be WAY off base... oh well, I am proud of myself for giving it a shot.

THANKS everyone for listening

I like your voice and the way this is put together, but I can't agree about that main point...I don't think everybody on earth is creative, but more importantly not everybody cares or wants to be.
Still, very nice construction!

Well done. Background music nice touch. I would have preferred the pauses filled with information about you as 120 seconds vey short.

I'm totally with you my friend, I believe we are all creative in our own special way--it's just a matter of tapping into ourselves!

You are one of the most creative people I know; you have a kind of MacGiver-type skill with words. Hope you win.

Hi, you are so right everyone is creative. I think that everything about us is based in creativity. Example. My little girl, eight, has a fasination with sticks. Long sticks, short sticks fat sticks and thin sticks. They become magic wands, band conductors stick, she even found a long one and called it a cane like Mommy uses to get to the neighbors house. Yes, we are creative creatures.

Have you ever read "The Everyday Work of Art"? Can't remember the author, but what he writes about is exactly what you're saying. I think you'd enjoy the book.

Your entry was different - pacing, approach, editing - different. In my way of thinking, different is memorable and what will change the world. Same is same, but different? That's creative. That's you.

You sound much like someone I would like to get to know better. Very inviting and warm. Wishing you all the best of luck!

In looking at my Title and description it looks like I really went for the minimalist approach. If I could figure out how to edit my entry, I'd probably add that you should listen with headphones if possible because the layers of sound and meaning aren't expressed as well on the regular computer speaker. Thanks for listening!
