Creativity, tools and toolmaking are tied very closely together. You want to 
make stuff (anything ... music, a good meal, a picture ...) you'll most probably 
want tools and then want to learn how to use them well. And a bit of theory, 
some understanding of the medium you are using, doesn't hurt either. Finally to 
communicate with others there is the matter of language, a shared vocabulary, a 
shared set of references, a body of work already in existence to build on. 
Understanding and using this is also part of theory.
