Mads Korsgaard & Chris Turner

Based on the science of psychology, Mads and Chris have developed an untraditional mixture of academia and freestyle rap to demonstrate the mechanisms of creative thinking. 

This equally thought-provoking and entertaining “lecture-show” will explore exciting issues such as the associative basis of creative thinking, how constraints can facilitate creative processes and the neuropsychological secrets behind the famous flow state. The remarkable couple will provide a concrete understanding of the mysteries of human creativity through participative freestyle rap-sketches and inspire the audience to exploit their own innate creative machinery.
