2.  Creativity results from the interaction of a system composed of three
elements: a culture that contains symbolic rules, a person who brings
novelty into the symbolic domain, and a field of experts who
recognise and validate the innovation.
 Creativity is defined as the tendency to generate or recognize ideas,
alternatives, or possibilities that may be useful in solving problems,
communicating with others, and entertaining ourselves and others.
 Three reasons why people are motivated to be creative:
 1. need for novel, varied, and complex stimulation
 2. need to communicate ideas and values
 3. need to solve problems

 Creativity is the process needed for problem solving.. not a special gift
enjoyed by a few but a common ability possessed by most people.
 In our radio play, a problem is created from the very start as our
protagonist, Dina’s character and personality has to established.
 This is done from the start when we hear her come out of the shower, pad
across the landing and switch on the TV, and she begins to channel surf.

4.  In order to be creative, you need to be able to view things in new
ways or from a different perspective. Among other things, you
need to be able to generate new possibilities or new alternatives.
 The word 'creative' has many meanings- the most democratic
meaning would really suggest that any act of making something
(even making an idea) might be seen as a creative act.
 In more elitist versions of the term, it is reserved for those who
are seen as highly skilled or original (famous
artists, musicians, film-makers etc).
 An interesting third alternative is to think about how creativity
can be an unconscious, random or collaborative act that becomes
more than the sum of its parts.

5.  'Metamorphoses' is an epic poem, almost 900 lines long, written in Latin by the Roman poet Ovid (43 BC-17 AD). It's a collection of
mythical tales based on the theme of 'change' – 'Metamorphoses' means 'transformations' in Greek. The poem was an inspiration
for many painters during that time period. This is what inspired Titian's Diana and Actaeon.
 Actaeon becomes a 'peeping tom' accidentally and suffers the consequences as the wrath of Dianna.
 ''Imagine the scene as he entered: the grotto, the splashing fountains, the group of nymphs in the nude'' Titian, the painter took
lines from this epic poem in book 3 and created a painting of the moment Actaeon comes across Dianna and the nymphs.
 How these inspired our radio play:
 ''An eyeful - that is what Actaeon got, in today's phrase, when he saw Diana naked in the woods. He was just
wandering along with his hounds when he chanced upon the goddess taking a bath and a single glance sealed
his fate. He looked, she looked, her companions rushed with clothes but it was already too late. Sunset-red
with rage, writes Ovid, Diana turned the hapless hunter into a stag and his own dogs tore him to pieces.''
 Our Radio Play 'I Killed a Man' tells of the unfortunate events that occurred on that day but with a modern
day twist. We begin our play within the present tense in the moments later aftermath of Actaeon's killing
where Dina who we took from the Goddess Dianna, is being arrested. We rewind back to Dina just coming
out of the shower similarly to when Dianna is taking a bath with her nymphs.
 She picks up a call from her friend Cali who we derived from Callisto in the original Metamorphoses and
whilst they converse about her strange neighbour who seems only too eager to help her at every instance
and whom she finds 'creepy'. Unbeknownst to both girls, The 'creepy' neighbour is listening in on their phone
call and is masturbating as he can see Dina naked through a hole in his wall, much like when Actaeon
stumbles upon Dianna.
 The revenge of Dianna is shown as self defence in our radio play as she murders Actaeon accidentally to
defend both herself and her Greek boyfriend, Stavros.
 In a time where men post pictures of women unknowingly onto 'creep sites', the story of Dianna and
Actaeon is all about the history of the male gaze and the female nude and this is what we tried to portray.

6.  Anthony Storr ‘creativity has been defined as the ability to bring
something new into existence’.
 ’the making of the new and the rearranging of the old.’ (Bentley
1997)

 ‘To promote creativity it is essential to understand the main elements
and phases of the creative process including:
 the importance of the medium;
 the need to be in control of the medium;
 the need to play and take risks; and
 the need for critical judgment
