What does a poet’s workday have in common with a costume designer’s?
And how is their work similar to an entrepreneur’s? A chef’s or a cancer doctor’s?
The KANKEO-UNO Creativity Library and the UNO’s Writer’s Workshop have teamed up to present “PROCESS: How Creative Thinking Gets Work Done,” a series of panel discussions where experts from a wide range of disciplines come together to explore four stages of the creative process: First Drafts, Revision, Completion and Critique. Each panel discussion will take place at the KANEKO-UNO Creativity Library located at 1111 Jones Street.
