Unlocking Creativity: The Power of Striving for Failure | Lisa Birke | TEDxUniversityofSaskatchewan

Mastering the tango in the expectation ring: video artist and University educator, Lisa Birke, uses her experience of teaching art to children and a particular “hiding painting” to inspire dancing with failure as a joyful and productive catalyst in the creative process. My life has been a comedy of errors. My active art practice is a result of the collision of video, performance art, and installation. I am interested in the stories we re-cite and re-brand and how these inform our conception of the world and the tragi-comic perception of ourselves in the mixing of referents from art history, popular culture and the everyday. Recently, I have been exploring immersive multi-media approaches. My video work has seen more than 100 screenings and installations at film festivals, media centers and in galleries and museums internationally, including Vancouver International Film Festival, Slamdance Film Festival, Florida Film Festival, and the Remai Modern. Some years ago, I might have been considered “cool” as I was active in the street dance and b-girl scene. Now my students sometimes call me “ma’am” and I wonder where I went wrong—although I attempt to uphold a semblance of youthful enthusiasm and fearlessness, which I hope will be reflected in my talk. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
