"What are you on fire about now?" asks writer Phil Cousineau and musician R.B. Morris. "Where does your fiery urge to create come from? What do you do to rekindle the inner flame when it is nearly extinguished by despair or fear? What are you doing to pass on the torch of your inspiration?" The great mystery of how to lead and sustain a creative life begins in the exploration of these primal questions. This evening dialogue is about the great fires of the imagination and finding the courage to create as truly, deeply and boldly as possible. The workshop leaders are passionately independent artists who have been haunted by words, music, and images all their lives. Phil Cousineau has been in the vanguard of the mythopoetic movement for more than twenty years, writing, filming, and teaching all over the world about the power of ancient stories in modern times, and the healing forces of the arts. R. B. Morris has been performing as singer, composer, and actor on stages across Europe and America, and has recorded five CDs of original music. In this evening dialogue, these long-time friends will join forces to Stoke the Creative Fires. |
