Creativity and Chaos: Artistic High-Wire Acts
St. Francis College Auditorium
1:00pm – 2:00pm

How do artists tap into their most creative selves, and learn to balance the impulses—whether it’s for performance and visual art, literature, or computer programming—to make something new? A conversation with Philippe Petit (Creativity: The Perfect Crime), Haitian author and painter Franketienne (Ready to Burst), and Vikram Chandra (Geek Sublime: The Beauty of Code, the Code of Beauty). Moderated by Elissa Schappell. Book signing to follow panel discussion.
