How do we go about unlocking our inner creativity? At this inspirational masterclass with BBC arts editor Will Gompertz, you’ll learn how to celebrate your own individual view of the world and let your innate creativity flourish.

Over the course of his career, Will has interviewed many of the world’s greatest artists and creative thinkers – and discovered a few intriguing traits along the way. During the class, he’ll share some of the key behaviours and attitudes shared by successful creative people, and advise you how to apply them to your own thinking.

On the night, he’ll be joined by Chris Head, one of the UK’s leading comedy directors and coaches. Together, they’ll deliver talks, live demos and interactive exercises that will help you to free your creative thinking, come up with brilliant ideas and achieve things you never thought possible.
