Getting Creative is a TRANSFORMATIVE PERFORMANCE where Blaine assists you to break down your inner fourth wall,* so you are revitalized and more deeply connected to your CREATIVITY. Each show has characters, stand-up, interactive fun, and live coaching – all designed to expand your creativity.
Some breakthroughs are quiet, some profound, some matter-of-fact, some over-the-top.
Once we are CONNECTED to our CREATIVITY we are energized, joyful, and insightful. We have the fuel to keep inventing and enjoying our lives and projects.
This is for ANYONE who wants to increase their creativity, laugh, or just be entertained.
We will…
LAUGH AND BE ENTERTAINED
EXPRESS
BE SAFE TO BE CREATIVE
BE SPONTANEOUS
SPARK OUR ALIVENESS AND CREATIVITY
GET COACHING ON A PROJECT OR LIFE ISSUE
*The fourth wall is a term in theater, where the players on the stage are contained within the play’s given circumstances and do not relate to the audience.
**When we break our inner fourth wall we re-orient to directly address the “audience,” which is everyone and everything we encounter!! We move into an awareness that we are indeed creating everything in our world, and we get empowered and revitalized in choosing how we want to proceed with this new perspective and enhanced creativity.
GLOWING REVIEWS for GETTING CREATIVE:

“I now know how to proceed with my creative project!”
