Kim Mitchell
 
Topics: College Access, Creativity, Stress Management, Team Building Can you shift from creative to analytical thinking with ease? Or do you think analytically when you want to be creative − and vice versa? You can learn to use both sides of your brain at once for maximum effectiveness, and in her dynamic talk, experienced university and secondary educator Kim Mitchell shows how. Drawing on her extensive background in theater, film-making, teaching and writing, Mitchell's creative playshops and presentations unleash the creativity that comes from using both sides of your brain together. The result? You and your group will feel more connected to your workplace, community and each other, free to express yourselves as creative beings able to solve any problem. Mitchell has given her customized presentations to a wide range of audiences, including universities, secondary schools, cruise lines, spas, businesses, trade and professional associations. Are you or your child applying to college? After hearing Mitchell's talk, participants feel more informed about the college admissions process and better equipped to submit competitive applications. Signature speeches include: Team-Building through Acting Build and strengthen your workplace and community by using acting techniques such as improvisation and performance to facilitate communication and spark creative problem-solving. Acting for Non-Actors Release your acting skills through the use of pantomime − a fun, acting technique that will introduce you to the thrill of performance. Step outside the box and learn to share your unique story without the use of sound or props. No prior acting experience is required. Writing from the Deep Well Within Spin your personal anecdotes into gold by utilizing prewriting, drafting, and simple revision techniques. Create community, build teams, and find connections through storytelling. Play or You’ll Pay Manage stress and feed your creativity through theatre games that set the inner child free. Demystifying the College Admissions Process Increase your chances or your child’s chances of being admitted to a prestigious university by gaining insight into the criteria used by admissions boards in the holistic scoring process.
