MIECAT is where I studied my Masters in Therapeutic Arts Practice and I loved my studies and the experiential and emergent way they work. I am lucky enough to be on staff at MIECAT now and I am so happy to working alongside passionate people in an environment that is aligned with so many of my values.

New MIECAT postcards have just landed! Please come and grab a few from the MIECAT office and help spread the word.

"Evidence shows that creative contributions depend on the breadth, not just depth, of our knowledge and experience. In fashion, the most original collections come from directors who spend the most time working abroad. In science, winning a Nobel Prize is less about being a single-minded genius and more about being interested in many things. Relative to typical scientists, Nobel Prize winners are 22 times more likely to perform as actors, dancers or magicians; 12 times more likely to write poetry, plays or novels; seven times more likely to dabble in arts and crafts; and twice as likely to play an instrument or compose music."

How to Raise a Creative Child. Step One: Back Off Child prodigies rarely become adult geniuses who change the world. Originality is difficult to encourage but easy to thwart.
