Getting Creative is a TRANSFORMATIVE PERFORMANCE where Blaine assists you to break down your inner fourth wall,* so you are revitalized and more deeply connected to your CREATIVITY. Each show has characters, stand-up, interactive fun, and live coaching - all designed to expand your creativity.

Some breakthroughs are quiet, some profound, some matter-of-fact, some over-the-top.

Once we are CONNECTED to our CREATIVITY we are energized, joyful, and insightful. We have the fuel to keep inventing and enjoying our lives and projects.

This is for ANYONE who wants to increase their creativity, laugh, or just be entertained.

We will...

LAUGH AND BE ENTERTAINED

EXPRESS

BE SAFE TO BE CREATIVE

BE SPONTANEOUS

SPARK OUR ALIVENESS AND CREATIVITY

GET COACHING ON A PROJECT OR LIFE ISSUE

*The fourth wall is a term in theater, where the players on the stage are contained within the play’s given circumstances and do not relate to the audience.

**When we break our inner fourth wall we re-orient to directly address the “audience,” which is everyone and everything we encounter!! We move into an awareness that we are indeed creating everything in our world, and we get empowered and revitalized in choosing how we want to proceed with this new perspective and enhanced creativity.

GLOWING REVIEWS for GETTING CREATIVE:

**“You took us from performing, to letting go of what we don’t need, to breakthrough coaching at the end.”

“I now know how to proceed with my creative project!”

About the Artist

JENNIFER BLAINE has been performing one-woman shows for 29 years. Her original writing, performing, and comedy delve into serious and socially relevant issues and provides audiences the opportunity to unite in laughter. Jennifer has opened for George Carlin and according to the Philadelphia Daily News “her comic genius is like Lily Tomlin and Tracey Ullman.” Jennifer was the resident Theatre Teaching Artist at the Showstoppers program at The Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts from 2013-2018 in which she created four original plays on topical issues from bullying to civil rights. She produced the “5, 000 Women” festival, showcasing women artists and social activists, at The Center for the Arts at Wesleyan University in 2011 and 2012 and in Philadelphia in 2014. Some of her 20 FringeArts solo works include Sorry (why women can’t stop apologizing for their existence), White Flight, Hearing Voices, and Ridiculous. Her play Dirty Joke, about women activists (directed by Vashti Dubois, founder of The Colored Girls Museum), was featured at PIFA, and was showcased at The Annenberg Center for the Arts By Local series. A Jennifer Story (2022) and J.B. & Friends is currently on Philly Cam. The Vicissitudes of Travel, which depicts a family traveling through brain surgery is performed in art galleries, museums, theatres, Wesleyan University in the 2019-2020 academic year, and at Jefferson Medical College which brought together medical staff and the general public to dialogue about loss and illness. Her musical Mannequin, about a defunct fur store in South Philly, its elderly Jewish owner, a teenager, a mafioso, and a political activist, explores whether we can truly be inclusive, despite the rise of intolerance and white nationalism since 2016. "Getting Creative" combines characters, stand-up, and interactive processes to spark each person's creativity, to help break down our inner fourth wall.
