Tension, Conflict & Creativity

2019, May 26

Helicopter is excited to offer a gathering for cultural workers interested in learning new skills and tools for collaboration. It is open to everyone with an interest in a NVC intro, not only artists!

During this introductory workshop we will invite participants to work on situations intrinsic to the artistic community, which we see as dual: on the one hand it is a community often built on affect, friendship, love and mutual understanding; on the other, extremely individualistic, competitive, aggressive and tied with the entrepreneurial trend.

We will offer Non-Violent Communication (NVC) practices, a revolutionary tool for connecting to others without giving yourself up. NVC empowers people in advocating for what is important to them from an authentic and transparent place.
