Learn from Liz Lerman

Liz has spent her whole life making tools, not just dances, documenting ways of working that can hold up outside the studio and guide educators, scientists, managers, coaches, and artists alike. Some colleagues have pushed back. They tell Liz they don’t want a recipe for creativity. But a recipe breaks when the oven’s not working or the altitude changes the bake. A tool is built to stretch with you, to extend your capacity to adapt when the moment doesn’t go as planned. This space holds what Liz has built over the years, from ways of thinking about creativity to structures for giving and getting feedback.
