I discovered that during improv classes, where simply changing body position or muscle tension produced a whole different set of associations in my brain. That's one of the reasons I use a lot of movement during my workshops. As for the lack of commentary on this site, I suspect it has a lot to do with my tendency to not promote myself. I'm thrilled that you're now doing it for me :) Groete, Howie Yes, the body is the key to creative insight! I discovered that during improv classes, where simply changing body position or muscle tension produced a whole different set of associations in my brain.

That’s one of the reasons I use a lot of movement during my workshops.

I am a regular on Perry's blogs, and yet your brilliance is all but unseen. Or is it that your readers are too canny to give themselves away ;-) When it comes to understanding advertising, you have some exceptional insights. It was Goethe (poet and scientist) who recognized that inspiration and movement are mutually intertwined, and actors wishing to learn lines often walk around to instill them better. There is a lot that our bodies want to tell us, but we are too busy doing things with it (her!) to take any notice. A bit like King David's "Still small voice" ? Howie,
