    Description

    In American society, we spend more hours working than any other activity. We live in a culture that links productivity to self-worth, work to meaning, and pressures us to embrace “the grind” over healthy limits. Cultivating creativity and examining the personal significance of work are some of the most relevant issues in modern life.

    Creative thinking in work is highly prized, yet there is no clear method for developing creativity itself.  In this course, we examine the roots of your creativity and give you short exercises to free up your creative flow. In this course, we will engage with numerous writers and theories on creativity, work, productivity, and how you relate to them. Students will explore these issues through short creative exercises and written reflections.

He has written original courses on Creativity, the History and Aesthetics of Japanese Animation, Advanced Seminars for Digital Artists, Music Composition, Audio Production, and Scoring for Multimedia. Chaz is a composer, transmedia artist, author, and performer and engages with all of his artistic practices to inform his teaching. Chaz's writing has been published in academic journals in Cambridge University Press (Organised Sound) and MIT Press (Leonardo Music Journal).
