MY TALK SHOW
Exercise: You’re the host of a popular late-night TV talk show and your guests, rather than celebrities, are the everyday people you come into contact with. Think of 3 interview questions for your friendly neighborhood Garbage Man that delves into the most thought - provoking aspects of their routine lives.
“Everyone is infinitely interesting for 15 minutes?”
- Ondi Timoner, Documentary Filmmaker
Why: As aspiring creatives, we often want to create brilliant things from scratch. But a valid branch of art is finding and repurposing or plugging in existing elements that we see in our travels. This is what collage artists, documentarians, and modern DJ’s do. By thinking of compelling questions for everyday people, we activate our empathy and curiosity, gaining an appreciation for nuance, which develops our creative awareness.
Enhances Creative Awareness which includes fine-tuning alertness to aesthetics, empathy, and drinking the world around you.
Example:
Amazon Prime Delivery Guy
1.) Do you feel you can get to know someone by the type of packages they receive? How so?
2.) You ever open something out of curiosity and seal it back up?
3.) What’s the most surprising thing you’ve seen when someone answers the door?
