Play is Crucial to a Creative Act - Thinking restricts our creative way of working.
Steve Pinker - Associations with Difference
Otherness - Allows us to have the ability to make associations (eg Semiotics)

Criticisms of play
Play is wasteful and subordinate to both thinking and theory, work is favoured over play as it is ORDERED
Order is desired over chaos
Benefits of Play in Practice as Research:
It is a representation of the minds unconcious process
Play is not about having an end goal, it will present itself naturally
