A Skill Fusion is a simple community idea, that brings professional creatives closer.
The intention is to create solid friendships with creative personas you especially admire.
In a Skill Fusion you get a break from deadlines and business agendas, to play, share interests, exchange your culture, share your work-proces and learn about the incredible skills of your new artist pal. The key is to kindly invite elements of your professional artistic identity into your partners creative identity, and vice versa. From this exchange, new work can emerge, or maybe you get a really good supportive new friend.
This works in magic ways, through conversations, openness and regular engagement, within short distance or long distance. It is a very simple idea: -to drop the ususal productive mind-set and install a kind and curious respectful mind-set, with focus on the creative persona you are sharing your proces with.
