Jan van Dingstee

On 1 April, Jan van Dingstee presents his book De opbrengst van creativiteit during a BorderKitchen event in Zaal 3. In addition to the interview with the author, Frank Boeijen and Daniel Lohues, who were also interviewed for the book, will present the first copy in their own distinctive way.

In De opbrengst van creativiteit, Jan van Dingstee explores the essence of creativity in the arts and offers psychological reflections on the fascinating struggles and motivations of the artist. Through these insights, he builds a historical perspective that bridges toward a better understanding of the conditions under which creative people can thrive within business culture or organisations, and examines how we might achieve a better way of living in everyday life.

De opbrengst van creativiteit is illustrated with ten compelling exposés on creativity by Frank Boeijen, Henk Hofstede, Guus Janssen, Freek de Jonge, George Kooymans, Jiří Kylián, Daniel Lohues, Chiel Meijering, Marc Mulders, and Robert Jan Stips.

Jan van Dingstee is a veteran of the music industry and worked for many years closely with numerous Dutch artists. At multinational Bertelsmann, he was responsible for both recruiting and guiding new talent, as well as marketing and international exploitation. Later he set up a new branch of artist management for MOJO Concerts/Live Nation. He now works as a consultant.
