We were having so much fun yesterday at the Creativity, Creative Arts and Neurodivergence conference we forgot to post about the rest of the sessions! We enjoyed hearing about Lou Barnell's performance work with Jennifer, a wearable instrument that responds to her voice and body movements.

- Do you feel you have any advantage or disadvantage as a practitioner in identifying as ND? - How do you make your own creative space welcoming and adaptable for your needs as a practitioner? When working with other creatives, teaching, or leading community workshops?

Prompts for proposals: - How does neurodivergence affect your artistic practice or your relationship with creativity? How does ND affect teaching creative arts? - Has there been a ‘before and after’ in relation to identifying as ND in terms of how you see your art?

We'll consider neurodivergence (ND) in all forms including autism, ADHD/ADD, PTSD/CPTSD, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, & dyslexia. Proposals welcome from those who identify as ND, whether diagnosed, awaiting diagnosis, or self-diagnosed, & from those who identify as neurotypical & work with ND creatives.
