BOOK Edward Bakst

Edward Bakst Speaking Topics

  • Imagination Workshops

    I see imagination as the Origin of all: arts, science, technology, innovation, invention, progress and civilization itself. Hence I conduct my Imagination Workshops for diverse groups: interdisciplinary students and teachers as well as professionals with no artistic skills. Motivated, they all find ways to express their ideas, emotions, dreams and aspirations. I deem them critical to all in whom imagination has fallen into hibernation. "

  • Power of Imagination

    As children we live in our own heads. There we are free to conform reality to fit our own wishes and dreams. Growing up we lose this magical ability. ""Gravity Free & Reality Independent"" perspective on everything frees us from the thinking which has been instilled in us as we grow up and are impacted by our parents, education, needs to fit in and to conform, social and professional pressures. "

  • Gravity Free & Reality Independent ideation

    It challenges our acquired perspective on everything we have accepted as ""this is the way it is and has to be"" and unleashes us to envision and consider possibilities which as limited only by the scope and depth of our own imagination. Thus liberated we are free to envision the impossible or improbable as a new horizon for which to strive or at least aspire to. Since life is short, I deem it a critical opportunity."

  • Metamorphic Storytelling

    Language of true animation empowers individual to envision and create a world of his own making, one that is limited only my one's own imagination. Instead of being linear it can be capable of moving and evolving through time, meaning and space, all of it independently to rules of reality as we have been programed by.
