Who:
Anyone over the age of 18 years old.
Amy will be facilitating a session where we dream together about what these unusual objects could be. Where have they come from, what do they do - what might they want from you, an unsuspecting human? What does it feel like to put something on that suddenly inflates around you - and how could this sensation be a crucial moment in a story?
Activities will include cuddling (the inflatables), rolling around on the floor as you try to sit on them, and having imaginative conversations based on a set of questions and prompts.
We would love to welcome anyone along to have a go at this early stage - to see, together, what stories might be inspired by these unusual tactile experiences. No experience necessary, all ideas welcome!
You can come at any time between 3:30 and 6pm.
Refreshments provided.
