about
In essence, Animate Arts helps people navigate complexity with more ease and confidence.
By combining understandings of complex systems science with holistic practices from the creative and embodied arts we can learn to bring all of our intelligence to our professional challenges, not only our intellectual capacities.
Our bodies are rich storehouses of unconscious knowledge, which can often handle nuance and dynamic change better than other ways of knowing. Learning to tap this wisdom can build capacity that we didn't realise we had.
Just because the world is complex, doesn't mean things have to feel complicated.
From everyday decision making to collective design processes Animate Arts can help. Whether you are looking for courses for yourself or your team or you have a specific issue you'd like to workshop, you'll find a service below.
In the words of Animate Arts' founder:
"Going forward, successful organisations will be the ones who have deepened their understanding of the stunning complexity of our world and learned to work with it rather than in spite of it.”

Welcome to a world where your authentic inner compass enriches your decisions
building human capacity in the age of AI
In an era where AI is taking over many analysis tasks, what skills and capacities are most relevant for leaders today?
You have a human body - a rich storehouse of knowledge that synthesises the sum total of your experiences. Learning to access the intelligence of the body and marry it with your intellectual capacities can put you in a strong position to compliment the artificial intelligence tools we now have at our disposal.
Welcome to a world where your unconscious knowledge enriches your decisions.
