Creativity: What happens when we free our minds?
Amelia and Jez explore creativity; how our ideas, imagination and experiences can create something new, bringing people together and powering progress. They are joined by Ben Goddard, musical director, composer and actor, who brings his piano into the studio to accompany the conversation. Ben shares some fabulous personal stories and helps to bust a few myths; that creativity only relates to the arts, that it cannot be developed, and that only some people possess it (it turns out we can all be creative, even Jez).
