Arts in Development

A quest for meaning

~~~

We live in a world full of meaning
yet it in a society that is essentially meaningless

How can we live meaningful lives?

We can find meaning through

creativity  collaboration  connection

~~~

Life doesn’t come with a manual

~~~ 

How can we make sense of life?

~~~ 

We can build a library of moments

~~~

Our Library of Moments is our companion in development
every moment can be a starting point for 
a guide to share what we’ve learnt
 a map to organise our way forward
a daily diary of development

~~~

What is in your Library of Moments?

The library of moments from walks in development has
100’s of moments guides and maps
all on the back of a postcard!

 

Moments

Every moment invites further development

~

How can we make the most of our moments?

~

We can collect the moments we experience
with the thoughts and ideas that occur to us

~ 

Building a Library of Moments is a collaborative activity
when we share moments they become more meaningful

Please take a moment to share 

Guides

Guides help us navigate difficult times

~

How can we learn from our experience?

~

We can be our own guides

We can (go for a walk and) focus in turn on
our own development,
our impact on others
the wider implications of our actions

~

The library of moments from walks in development includes guides
to help us value, navigate and organise our moments

What are you going through?

Every moment feeds us like leaves feed a tree

Maps show us how everything is connected

~

How can we get organised?

~

We can make our own maps
of the things we have done
and what we plan to do

~

The library of moments from walks in development includes maps
to help develop our research, practice and plans

We are all in development
walking parallel paths
and asking the same questions along the way

~

How can we support each other?

~

We can use a daily diary of development
for individuals and groups to
share moments,
walk alongside each other
and map our way forward

~

The library of moments from walks in development
has daily moments and weekly guides and maps to get us started

Every moment matters

Every moment contributes towards our shared library of moments

Every contribution counts

“I recommend Arts In Development as a tool for individuals and organisations, for one-to-one and cooperative working; his holistic approach helps untangle knots and brings out strengths with great positivity”  (Tara Downs, Miniature Museum )

“David is quietly rebellious and innovative and has created a new model of creative development, based on walks.  I’d recommend diving in deep to explore his approach”  (Elspeth Penny, 2BU Productions)

Walks in development have been a source of exploration, a way to connect with other creatives and an amazing space for self discovery.  David has a unique ability to create warm and welcoming environments that provide equal measures of support and motivation”  (Grace Kress, ShelbyXStudios)
