Videos
This series of
videos is in a continuous process of
development. Some are instructional like
The
Creative
Adventure. Others are
documentaries like Poems at an Exhibition
and Cabo. Some are installations like
Show in Chicago and Winter Garden.
Others are art, poety, music videos or
some combination of new media.
I develop these videos in different ways. Some begin with the image and poetry and
music follows. In others the image or the poetry
comes last. Many are quite experimental,
some just fun. Enjoy.
There are currently 90 videos on
www.YouTube.com/jgyoungmd. I have
put some on my blog at
http://jgyoungmd.blogspot.com/
The
most current are on YouTube.com. However, some are too long
for YouTube(limit 10 min.) like The
Creative Adventure, Poems at an Exhibition
and Concerto with Foxes, Deer and
Other Wild Ones, so you need to click their
hyperlinks below:

The
Creative
Adventure
In
The Creative Adventure, a
two-part, two hour video, Dr. John G. Young,
develops the original conception
that love is essential to emotionally
healthy creative functioning. He shows you
how to develop maximum effectiveness using
creative and innovative approaches.
Part One: Love and Conception
answers
the
questions,
"What is
creativity?"
"Why is
creativity
important?"
and "How
can you
become
more
creative?"
It takes
the
attitude
that
everyone
has
creative
abilities,
but we
can all
improve
our
creative
approaches.
The Creative Adventure, Part Two: Birth and
Re-Birth extends the
investigation into creative approaches, but
shifts the focus to the being side of
creativity. We move from the creative
process to the creative person. We look more
at the "Krainen" aspect of fulfillment, and
explore attitudes necessary to creative
living, learning and loving. At this level
living with purpose is as important as
accomplishing a goal; the process becomes as
important as the product.

Poems at
an Exhibition [50 min]
“I begin with an
idea and then it becomes something else,”
Picasso.
What started as a documentary of a
one-man art show becomes a video poem on
disability. In this work Dr. Young blends
his art, poetry, animation, and music into a
creative autobiographic documentary of his
family’s attempts to cope with disability.
His wife has multiple sclerosis, his
daughter is hearing impaired, even the dog
is mostly blind. This multi-media
presentation shows how they overcome the
challenges of loss, pain, rejection, and
despair with laughter, courage and love.
With interviews, by and of each family
member, emotions emerge as spontaneously as
the improvisational background music.
In the end, this video points beyond one
man’s family to the needs of all families
who struggle with disability.

Concerto
with Foxes, Deer and Other Wild Ones
[11
min]
This home movie evolved from a group of
video clips of the wild life I took
around our home. The sense of
home, one’s territory and boundary
issues becomes the focus of this set of
five video poems.
I came up
with a title, "Concerto with. . .". It just
appeared out of my Unconscious from the
images I was working with. Never
having writing any orchestral music, for the
first time I began to learn how to
orchestrate beyond the solo piano sound. The
music was improvised as the images passed
by.
The
Program Notes
may help understand the many paths I was
experimenting with in this video.
