Dancing About Architecture: A Little Book of Creativity - Rilegato

A Field Guide to Creativity. It seems endemic to the human condition that we'll never cease longing for insight into where good ideas come from, how creativity works, its secrets, its origins, and the five-step action plan for making it manifest. 'Dancing About Architecture: A Little Book of Creativity' by Phil Beadle is unusual in that it's both a strong, pointed conceptual vision for the nature and origin of creativity, and a kind of activity book for grown-ups that invites you to learn how to implement the skill set of creativity through a series of hands-on exercises applicable wherever your creative journey may take you, from the studio to the classroom to the boardroom. --Brain Pickings www.brainpickings.org

Phil Beadle teaches sentence structure through football skills, analyses poetry by dancing the verbs and is most renowned for teaching punctuation through kung fu moves and teaching adults to read with space hoppers. He teaches English at a school in London and travels internationally, indoctrinating teachers into being interesting. This is his fifth book. It is very much his favourite.
