When Constraint is a Path to Creativity [Recorded live at Winter Gathering]

"Don't waste the pandemic. . . but let it enhance your
imaginations."


Dr. Roger Duke shares about John Bunyan and how his time in jail
led to his great work of imaginative fiction -- "Pilgrim's
Progress." Eric Rutherford continues the discussion about ways
that constraint actually promotes creativity and offers some
thoughts on how to cultivate our imaginations. This talk was
recorded live at our Stage & Story Winter Gathering over Zoom
and edited for time.


Dane Bundy mentioned an interview with Marian Jacobs called,
"Writing in the Cracks and Chunks: An Interview with Writer
Marian Jacobs." You can find Marian Jacobs' writing at
