Creative Studies and Creative Process
Paul teaches how to plan, organize and examine one's own creative instincts, coaching people in order to help them learn how to lead more creative lives - at home, in their art practice, and at work (where much of our lives is spent). This involves training individuals to be thoughtful and to be active and to be responsible for being attentive to their decisions. We live in an automated society and we sometimes lose sight of what it means to take care of our lives, our health, our sanity.

Paul currently teaches classes on creativity, movement, collaborative techniques, dance acrobatics, public speaking and improvisation at three different schools in the areas in and around Copenhagen, DK, and offers guest workshops and masterclasses in the USA and Europe in association with performances.

Below is a video excerpt from my MFA-IA thesis (Goddard College). Trash Talk, a performative practicum, blends performance art and a job in garbage with higher education research. The trick is to retain the grounded sensibility of a blue collar, everyday career while investigating larger issues.
