We are th
rilled to invite you to another Radical Cut-Up lecture on Monday, 11 March 2019, 6 PM by psychiatrist David Hakvoort. The art of shaping conditions to creativity
How does self-knowledge and self-awareness influences the creative process? Is suffering a necessity for the artist to create its work? To which extend can stress levels help you to perform? These questions are discussed from a psychiatrist point-of-view in relation to the benefit of psychotherapy in general. This lecture gives a small introduction to psychotherapy, how creativity and the self are connected and if it is helpful being more aware of our own repetitive motives and intrapsychic conflicts to increase creativity.
