The Creativity Workshop Studio is in a quiet neighborhood in the heart of
Manhattan, near some of the finest theatres, restaurants, and shopping in
the world. A ten minute express subway takes you to the Metropolitan Museum
of Art which is currently having some fabulous exhibitions featuring the
works of Paul Gauguin and the photographer Richard Avedon. The Guggenheim
Museum, the Frick Museum, and Central Park are also in close vicinity to
the Met. For more detailed information on all our workshops
please go to our website at http://www.creativityworkshop.com

The Creativity Workshop's goal is to help individuals believe in and
develop their creative process and break through the fears and blocks
that inhibit creativity through using memoir, creative writi!
ng, visual
arts exercises, and storytelling. The end product is expanded
perception, innovative problem solving, and ways of looking at one's
life and work as exciting and transformative.

People from all different disciplines, interests, and levels of
experience come together to explore their creative process. Whether you
are a writer, a business person, a teacher, or an artist, we can help you
discover and nurture your particular way of expression and break through
the fears and blocks that inhibit creativity.

Tools for a Lifetime The exercises used in the Creativity Workshop are
intended to become the tools for a lifetime. Participants are encouraged
to draw from all kinds of resources of creativity -such as the oral
tradition, dreams, childhood memories, sense perceptions and intuition.
Working both individually and in collaborative groups, participants
explore their imaginative potential through exercises in writing,
drawing, collage, map making, story telling, brainstorming and guided
visualization

===================================

What people say about the Creativity Workshop "This is my third workshop
coming up and I can't wait! Shelley and Alejandro ever so gently are
able to get us fellow travelers (and not students) in to a discovery
mode that emerges us deep into the experience of our very own
creativity. You are magicians who invite us to return to the best of our
childhoods. Once there we recapture those golden days of play and dream
and fantasy. I'm very happy to !
know and experience the alchemy that you
label a creativity workshop. Professor Carroll Blue, School of
Communications, San Diego State University, San Diego, USA


"The new millennium needs bold, creative men and women who can turn
their dreams into reality... Shelley Berc and Alejandro Fogel show how
you can do this through their challenging and inspiring creativity
workshops...even a simple first contact will prove what these two
talented teachers can do for your own gifts." Dr. Kirpal Singh, Writer,
Professor, Singapore Management University.

"I feel as though I now have a focus, a method, a way of evolving my
ideas and that the means are just as important as the end. I have
created environments just to create in, and environments just to display
the work in. My vision of attending to each detail, sound, smell,
texture, substance... is starting to find a home. Thanks for opening my
eyes to these essential aspects of creating through your guidance and
example." Student. !
University of Iowa, Iowa City, USA.

"This class was THE MOST enrichin
, enlightening, inspirational class I
have ever taken. The way I work and what I create will never be the
same." Student. University of Iowa, USA.

"Shelley and Alejandro's Creativity Workshop is amazing in that it
breaks down all your fears about thinking and writing. If it wasn't for
them I fear I never would have finished my master's thesis. I was
blocked until I took this course." Francesca Salidu PHD candidate in
Shakespeare, University of Pisa. San Miniato, Italy.

"Shelley Berc and Alejandro Fogel taught their Creativity Workshop as
American Cultural Specialists under the United States Information
Service auspices. To say that they were extremely effective is a vast
understatement. I would unreservedly recommend their course. They have
abundant creativity, energy, and a wealth of skills." Gloria Berbena,
Asst. Cultural Attache, US Information Service, US Embassy. Rome, Italy.

"A special experience. Berc and Fogel opened us up to new and wonderful
ways of looking at o!
ur creativity." Belkis Bottfeld, PHD, psychologist.
Istanbul, Turkey.
