After driving through an intense downpour, I turned onto a rural road and was treated to this beautiful scene.

About

Steve Kohrherr

I am a lifelong creative (so yes, I have tons of restaurant experience). Along with many professional acting credits, I am a writer, director, residency facilitator, musician, photographer, high school substitute teacher and a father. In my pre-Covid years, I was also a Retail and Restaurant General Manager for some great places (Feast and Wintergreen Resort).

But then Covid came along and changed a lot of things. Some things were beyond my control, such losing my job due to a huge reduction and shift in the Hospitality/Retail industries. Yet these changes did allow me to focus on homeschooling, caring for family and reengage with my creative pursuits that were less active while raising a young family.  In particular, I am a life long practitioner of acting improvisation. If not directly performing or teaching improv, then I still find the tools and skills it offers me to be very relevant in many other areas and professions. Primarily, allowing for the creative muse, outside the box thinking to be an active option.

And while I explore many creative activities – music, photography, theatre, and such – I realized my most fulfilling creative activity is participating in, and/or facilitating, group creative experiences. Be it in the classroom, on stage, or in the traditional working world,  I find creative collaborations always yields the best results. Always! Working, and playing, with others opens the door to new discoveries that I would not have had on my own, in my own creative bubble.

This is the primary purpose of Muse Cubed, to share a creative, online space with others. And to facilitate opportunities for creative opportunities and discoveries.

Also, Muse Cubed signifies, to me, the exponential factor of shared creativity. I have my creative ideas and abilities and you have your creative ideas and abilities. And when we collaborate our energies, the  result is quite often exponential greater then our individual efforts. This shared creative space becomes its own creative entity. And when we lean into this shared creative space, and willingly engage in the collective outcome, the results of a group’s effort is a rich experience, a gift, to be apart of.
