It is here, and now it is gone – so quick, grab your laptop, your pen and paper, your Dictaphone, your sketch pad, whatever your mode of expression or recording, swoop and catch.

Taking part in creativity helps us to be more fully alive on every level, it asks that we engage with life in a visceral, and interactive way.
