Misé is an award winning Kenyan-Canadian multidisciplinary artist dedicated to innovating across digital and traditional disciplines to create work that brings people together around the ideas that can optimize the quality of our experiences as human beings in modern times.

Creative Approach and Experiences Offered
My creative approach stems from a desire to harness the power of art to deliver empowering experiences. A natural extension of my work in youth development, my workshops aim to:• open minds to their inherent creative potential
• demystify and democratize the artistic process
• demonstrate the accessibility of creative methodologies and technologies
• instill the value of creativity for it’s own sake
Workshops:
Video production – In this full scale collaborative activity, the class works as a unit to create a single piece of short film content
Theatrical performance – Students work in small groups to create and present a short narrative performance
Creative Contemplation – The sky is the limit as students explore their personal creativity and practice communicating it as they develop and pitch an original production idea
I encourage educators to opt for the One-Day event to deepen the resonance of workshops and demonstrate their outcomes in a professional context.
