WHAT IS A CREATIVE PROVOCATION?
In it’s purest form, provocations provoke: thoughts, ideas, interests, and inspire the imagination toward creativity. Provocations can come in a variety of ways, but should make you think, want to act or create.
A few lines to work from – when you finish writing for the
day, start the next chapter or scene – just a few lines so you have somewhere to start from (not a blank page) the next day.
CREATIVE PROV
OCATIONS ARE SIMPLE
• Photos or artwork
• Movies or books
• Journals with pens
• Natural things – colourful rocks, a perfect stick, unused birds nest
• Collection of desk gadgets
• Picture magazines
• A scene out the window
