Storyteller in Residence
Students had a special opportunity to engage and learn last November with a visit by Sully Ratke, a costume designer and illustrator based in Chicago, in the Artist-in-Residence Studio.
Housed within the Galvin Design Wing, the goal of this space is to bring in leaders from the performing arts, master storytellers and experts in creative leadership to enhance students' creativity and adaptability and to foster new approaches to learning.
Ratke, who received her MFA in design from Northwestern, hosted an interactive workshop about the art of storytelling through puppetry. As one participant shared, "I thought it was really interesting how the speaker connected the way we think about problem solving in business to what she does from an artist's perspective. It was interesting to see the parallels between how she thinks about constraints (budget, time) and negotiates deadlines with the way that business is done."
