REVIEW: Creative Juices - Scratch Arts


A One-of-a-Kind “Art Attack” for Adults

 

I didn’t know quite what to expect from 'Creative Jucies', but it’s safe to say this isn’t your average art class. Led by the fabulously fearless Timothy Christopher Ryan, this 60-minute show was equal parts performance, life drawing class, and hilarious group therapy session.

 

From the very start, Timothy put the audience at ease, laying out a big emphasis on consent for participation. If you wanted to be hands-off, no worries, but if you were up for a laugh and a bit of spontaneous involvement, you were in for an experience!

 

Timothy’s vibe was instantly infectious; he invited us all to leave our inhibitions at the door, guiding us through absurd prompts and creative chaos with warmth and total confidence. His striptease was a laugh-out-loud highlight, revealing layer upon layer of underwear. His confidence and charm turned an intimate, small space into an artsy playground, making everyone feel like an old friend – or at least a willing accomplice.

 

My favourite part? It has to be painting Timothy’s nearly-nude body with glow-in-the-dark paint. By the end, my “art” was definitely more “fridge magnet” material than masterpiece, but that’s the beauty here—everyone’s encouraged to get creative without worrying about perfection. Add to that the life modelling, wacky drawing prompts, and Timothy’s boundless energy, and you’ve got yourself a hilarious, immersive escape.

 

This unique, interactive show was a highlight at MELT Festival in Brisbane, delivering an unforgettable dose of self-expression. It’s weird, wonderful, and just a little bit wild – definitely worth the laughs and the artistic chaos!

 

Catch Creative Juices as it continues to tour around Australia with Scratch Arts. If you’re up for a unique, intimate, and hilariously unpredictable experience, don’t miss this wild ride at a city near you. It’s 60 minutes of pure creative mayhem, and you’ll leave with a smile—and maybe a few questionable artworks to take home.
