The Powerful Link Between Creativity and Play

Tim Brown talks about playful exploration, playful building, and playful role play as the ingredients to freeing yourself to create (using play) unselfconsciously., without censoring our ideas before they've been let out to play with.
We need trust to play and trust to be creative- to use exploration, and thinking with the hands (building)to grow our unique idea without censoring.

His design team operates like kids in my art class- they have the freedom to experiment without an end product in mind; perhaps just a glimmer of an idea is enough to toss around while manipulating materials and "thinking with your hands".

Tim discusses some playful work places and I'm sure he has alot to say about our schools today with their rigidity of teaching to the test.
