Storytelling with Puck

Training in a Train

Where does creativity come from? How do we come up with ideas? What background do we need to get into a creative role? Is there a stock answer to any of those questions? Florentina Martin comes at all of this from a different angle to many. It’s clear that getting stuck on a packed train was at least part of Florentina’s inspiration for her original story and her father was a big influence for the rest. When you’re ready, press play and listen to creativity flow as Florentina shares her magical tales.

A life of theorising, a life of learning, a life of understanding. Is this science or stories? Well, maybe they're more similar than we think.
