Creative Block airs on Bold TV, CBC’s premier digital station, every Saturday at 6 p.m.
Tune in to Creative Block for a creative explosion of talented musicians, songwriters, designers, bands, authors, dancers, visual artists, actors, and celebrities who all have one thing in common – they've got "creativity"! We showcase some of the best in the arts and entertainment community in one neatly packaged show with flair, energy, and of course - style.
This international award-winning series is hosted by Lucy van Oldenbarneveld from CBC News in Ottawa, with contributors Alan Neal and Maureen Welch. It explores the creative minds of some of Canada's best singers and musicians such as K’Naan, Colin Linden, Prairie Oyster, Kellylee Evans, Tom Wilson and Danny Michel. The series also checks out new young talent such as Amanda Rheaume, Karl Wolfe and Meaghan Smith.
The show features performers who are in their own creative element, such as spoken word artist Oni the Haitian Sensation, beat box artist Julia Dales, and the inspirational dance troupe Propeller Dance. We showcase fashion designer Richard Robinson, visual artists Barbara Buchanan, Shie Kasai and Claudette Hart, best selling authors Malcolm Gladwell and Miriam Toews and actors Craig Lauzon and Brooke Johnson.
