SUMMARY:Failing Forward: Creative Growth Through Experimentation with Anne
  Eder (Online)
DESCRIPTION:One of the greatest obstacles in any creative practice is the fear of
  failure. We all strive to be perceived as skilled and competent\, yet
  as any scientist knows\, discovery depends on experimentation\, and
  not every experiment succeeds. The creative process is no different.
  Sometimes the wrong path leads to an unexpected direction or reveals
  precisely what is needed to move forward. Often\, the most egregious
  mistakes become the most valuable breakthroughs. 
 
 This course invites participants to fail up. Through readings\,
  discussions\, and experimental exercises\, we will explore how to
  reframe failure as an essential part of creative growth. The class
  meets biweekly\, allowing time for reflection and experimentation
  between sessions. Participants will also have access to a digital
  classroom for sharing works in progress\, exchanging feedback\, and
  posing questions. 
 
 Anne Eder\, who has developed this pedagogical approach in her
  teaching at Princeton and Harvard Universities\, brings extensive
  experience in guiding artists to embrace missteps and transform them
  into opportunities for innovation.
