Innovation is the creation of a new idea. This can involve creating a new way of using something that already exists for example: Mobile phone which allows you to access the web and check your emails; Or it can mean creating a brand new idea.

Creativity is the ability to think of ideas and in turn combing those ideas with various mediums and create new ideas or a new idea.

Risk is an excellent tool in the 'Learning Process'. Risk involves throwing your self in the 'deep end' of a situation not thinking of the consiquences involved. Once in the situation you might 'sink' or 'swim'. If you sink...you learn from that, If you swim...you learn from that too!

I would like to learn how to stimulate my already existing ideas and views on various artistic mediums and in turn create new work which gives me an innovative edge, for example taking a simple idea of a theatre piece and turning it into a innovative avante garde type of theatre piece, using modern technology which artists in the past never had access to, for example: Video projection, film, photography, sides etc.
