CREATIVITY PROGRAMS
Songwriting // Art // Poetry // Writing // Lyrics
Sarah Gillespie is an internationally renowned singer songwriter. She has toured Europe, the UK and the USA performing original material from her 4 critically acclaimed albums. Hailed by the UK press as a “superior wordsmith” her debut collection of poetry and lyrics was published by Oxford’s Albion Beatnik Press in 2018.
She has performed live on numerous flagship BBC radio programs to millions of listeners and leads transformative masterclasses in song writing, creativity and performance. In 2020 she launched a series of expressionist paintings that sold out within 2 weeks.
With a First-Class degree in Film and Literature and a Master’s in Politics and Philosophy, her coaching integrates ideas from poets, thinkers, theatre practitioners and visual artists as well as songwriters and musicians. Instead of simply instructing on “how to” create, she first helps people internalise the tools needed to rescue their inner artist from doubt, fear and self-consciousness.
Learning the craft of any artistic practice is invaluable but technique alone is mechanics, not art. First, we need to resurrect the authenticity and spontaneity that is the lifeblood of creative power.
