A space for artists and facilitators who lead co-creation projects to make and play, free from the pressure of leadership, room management and having to be 'good'. Use games and creative exercises to experience a making process as a participant and regain your sense of creative freedom.
A practical, playful and thought-provoking exploration of co-creation for theatre-makers, artists, faciliators, youth workers, campaigners, designers and anyone interested in meaningful creative collaboration with young people and communities.
Feedback from recent participants:
“I'd go as far as to say it's the best course I've been on for this area of my work. Ned was fantastically generous and I came away with lots of practical tools I could use. The balance of practical vs. talking was just right for me, and the dismantling of the normal power balance at the start just felt so refreshing - I was relieved to not have to justify my right to be there!”
“A high quality, accessible, fun course which will allow me to develop my creative practice now and well into the future.”
“In-depth, thoughtful, of the highest professional quality and inspiring”
“It was a gift to have the time to be a participant and really engage without having to do the facilitating. I just loved it so much!”
