Wicklow Artists Salon #7: Flow 

6th Feb 2024, Mermaid Arts Centre

Guest Artists:

• Kevin O’Byrne, Minding creative minds
• Theresa Nanigian, visual artist, executive and life coach
• Joan Davis- body based creative practitioner
• Colm Keegan- poet and playwright

With the help of four exciting guests, we’ll be looking at creative flow.

What is flow? What is happening from a neurochemical perspective? Visual artist and executive coach Theresa Nanigian will explore these questions and suggest how we might access this enormously powerful state in our work and life.

Dancer and body-based creative practitioner Joan Davis will explore with us embodiment and creative flow.

Kevin O'Byrne, from Minding Creative minds will tell us about the effects of stress on flow. What is stress? How do we recognise it? What can we do to reduce it?

Acclaimed poet and playwright Colm Keegan will read from his work and tell us about his experience of flow both as an artist and facilitator.

As always there will be time for a group discussion and an informal chat over tea and coffee.

The Wicklow Artists Salon is supported by Wicklow Arts Office, Mermaid Arts Centre, Bray; The Courthouse Arts Centre, Tinahely; and Killruddery House.
