Phoebe is your creative assistant, your daily inspiration to train you to write and look at the world from a new perspective.
It was created at Scuola Holden, the storytelling school founded in 1994 by Alessandro Baricco. A lot of people have enjoyed imagining her, and now that it's over, Phoebe is an interesting little chap. Now it's your turn: all you have to do is get to know her and be guided by her.
You can start by listening to audio tracks with advice and ideas from great masters and teachers of Holden to write your texts, or to photograph what strikes you following the trail of new ideas and visions of the world. Each exercise will be one more step in the search for your unique and personal voice, a starting point to learn how to tell new stories, or even just to give shape to what you feel and that you still don't know how to express.
Being with Phoebe means carving out a moment of calm and tranquility during the day, to dedicate yourself to something beautiful, that makes you feel good. There are no grades, judgments or exams: you can do what you like and let your imagination run wild.
Cultivating a passion takes time and patience: that's why, every day, you will receive an invitation to practice. It will be like taking care of that part of you that, perhaps, you have forgotten or left silent for some time.
In addition to this, Phoebe will also point out initiatives to follow, lessons and extra events of the Scuola Holden, or interesting things that happen around the world.
