About
FlowState - Find Yours! is Michelle Thompson's MA Creative Practice endeavour, which will develop into a Community Interest Company.
What is FlowState - Find Yours! all about?
All humans need play – the kind of exploratory joyful play toddlers get from squishing paint onto paper and bananas into the carpet. No pressure to create anything tangible. No-one else watching. No fear of judgement. Just calm, peace and joy which comes from exploration – that’s the feeling of being in FlowState.
Creative workshops and formal art classes are all very well, but for a lot of people they are too restrictive, or associated with discomfort, thanks to an education system that promotes conformity over creativity.
FlowState – Find Yours! is a judgement-free, pressure-free place to explore what 'creativity' really means (Spoiler alert - you don't need artistic skill or talent to enjoy creating!). It's the place is where you discover your own route to wellbeing through creativity.
Anyone can benefit. It's for bored or sad or angry or frustrated or sick or burnt-out people of any age. It’s for those with no space or resources at home to play.
Using the facilitator's lived experience, FlowState guides and inspires you on your journey back into creativity.
We offer a wide range of activities involving basic mark-making, clay, papier mâché and stream of consciousness writing through to hurling paint at blank walls and even bashing the living daylights out of an old drum kit.
It’s all about breaking down barriers, undoing conditioning and reconnecting people just like you to their FlowState.
There’s never any requirement to produce works of art, poems or songs, but when there’s no pressure on you, that’s exactly when magic really does happen!
