Empowering creativity through puppetry | Jhess Knight | TEDxUniMelb

After working with thousands of everyday people, Jhess Knight firmly believes we are all inherently creative. In this talk, she draws on her experience running puppet-based creativity workshops to explain how, like anything worth having, creativity takes time and practice.
Jhess Knight is a puppeteer and puppet maker. She is a founder of Trash Puppets, a Melbourne-based organisation which aims to empower and encourage individual creativity in schools, offices, and at community festivals, by sharing the inclusive joy of puppetry with everyone of all ages, genders and abilities.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

I have found that just talking to a puppet opens up a floodgate of creative dialog that astonishingly seems to from a source beyond me.

"A puppet's power is in its movement." So true. For a deep dive into Creativity, check out Arthur Koestler's astounding book, "The Act of Creation".
