Creativity Alive Class

Join Amanda Schlachter and Christine Alexander for this 14 week intensive to experience a safe and courage space to awaken, embrace and embody your creative potential.
We will start each class using Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way as a guide to explore creativity, write, perform personal monologues and hold each other accountable to complete the work. We will discuss in class and do one activity each week. The second half of class we will have fun and find inspiration using improv.
The class is perfect for those who have ever wondered about their creativity, had an interest in acting and performance or for already established artists who are looking for a way to reawaken their artistic drive. The class will culminate for a showing for family and friends.
For further questions feel free to call Amanda at 941-685-8885 or email to [email protected].
