Growing up in Australia Martin soon found his way into the performing arts scene via East Sydney Tech Theatre Arts School. He wrote and directed 2 plays for the Sydney's iconic Stables Theatre and later as a graduate established himself as a bit part actor in tv and film. In a Galaxy Far Far Away his last role in 2OO4 was Senator Pacel Argente in Star Wars III 'Revenge of the Sith' filmed at Sydney's Fox Studios. Meeting director George Lucas inspired him much later in life to teach visual literacy photography programs in school students in Mexico.
For many years he has explored the creative application of meditation. Currently he is investigating the link between mindfulness and flow states of creative consciouness that can be taught via smart phone photography. This is currently being taught in the Deep Focus FOTOFLOW WORKSHOP to both corporate leadership groups and through public seminars.
Corporate clients he has provided training for include: Sattchi & Sattchi, Proctor & Gamble, Novo Nordisk, Orange, Damgaard Data, Microsoft, Wonder Works, Mindkey, NNIT, TDC, Channel 9 Australia tv, Shape Consulting, Nox Network.
Traveling widely Martin has presented seminars, workshops and retreats in Australia, Mexico, USA, UK, Italy, Ireland, Denmark, Norway.
In 2O19 he worked on video projects and teaching visual literacy in schools in Mexico, he will be returning to Australia Spring/ Summer of 2O19/2O.
Martin is the author of 2 books 'Inside the Eye of the Storm' and co author of 'You Make a Difference' both dedicated to the pursuit of human creative performance.
I am honoured and excited to have been invited back to Denmark to work with Bo on ‘Sights and Insights ..in Tibirke Bakker’ It’s been nearly 30 years since we unleashed Learn to Learn and You Make a Difference for the wonderful men and women of Damgaard Data. We are all older now, and hopefully wiser. Age has brought some new perspectives and insights that I look forward to sharing at Tisvilde. Since those glorious days in the 90’s I have travelled a lot. Seeking new challenges I taught teenage students in a High School in Mexico, lectured senior citizens in the University of the 3rd Age in Sydney, made Archaeological documentaries in Roma for American Institute for Roman Culture, and have lectured on the importance of visual literacy and photography, as a trigger for the creative Flow state. I have never stopped learning and researching, and I am looking forward to another collaborative contribution to Bo’s latest project. I’ve always said the cure for boredom is curiosity, and there’s no cure for curiosity.
See you later in the year.
Martini
