Skills for Co-Creative Relationships

What are the skills and capabilities that are really important to facilitate co-creative processes? In this episode we hear thoughts on this question from a range of collaborative practitioners including three main guests David Lilley, Johanna De Ruyter and Callie Doyle Scott, who share insights from their diverse practice across theatre, business, social change and role play games. Topics we explore include: The mindsets and attitudes conducive to collaborating effectively with others What we can learn from tabletop role play game facilitation skills and improv theatre The essential, but often overlooked, soft skills we need, such as listening and flexibility How we can go about learning and practicing these skills and capabilities over time What’s needed to build relationships that generate new, more imaginative, creative, innovative possibilities, actions or ideas or responses Transcript To ensure accessibility we are committed to providing transcripts of all our podcast episodes - you can read the full transcript here.
