I also formed life-long friendships with colleagues at the University of Washington, which nurtured the research creativity of the team.

Right now, I'm just really interested in finding fruitful collaborations.
To me, it’s the collaborative effort between creative minds that elevates each other’s work.

I think that one of the great virtues of the university lies in its being a community in the fullest sense of the word, a place of residence, and at the same time one of personal affirmation and intellectual rapport.

that creativity is always, in some sense, a collaboration, the result of a mind connected to other minds. What I love about the idea of scenius is that it makes room in the story of creativity for the rest of us: the people who don’t consider ourselves geniuses.

I especially enjoy doing research that provides the opportunity for collaboration. Research and writing can be a lonely endeavour, so the opportunity to engage with others in your field can be hugely enriching and my experience suggests that it advances innovative, creative and novel scholarship. I especially enjoy opening collaborative spaces through supervision of master’s and doctoral students and have often learned more from the students I supervise rather than the other way around.

I believe creative work needs communication. So it’s extremely encouraging to be with a group of people who form a community and to know that you’re not isolated, although as individuals we must always work in an inner silence.

It’s nourishing to be in a community of people who are enthusiastic about art, who you can have long discussions with, and with whom you can trade feedback on the work.

Creativity is more about collaboration than competition.

I really enjoy that sort of exploration in a community of people. That's what I really like. All those people come, and sit together, and then we all go through this experience, and some aspect of our humanity is touched.

I love creating and discovering different characters, and reading such interesting scripts, working with creative and passionate people. I think it’s also important to watch a lot of films and go to the theatre to keep yourself inspired.

I love creatively designing new programmes in collaboration with people and in response to identified needs.

Creativity is a continual surprise.

I’m trying to transmit the visions of creativity and build institutions that are incredibly catalytic to their fields.
