workshop(s) -- creative thinking

A. Eliens & Marek van de Watering 2009 / tag(s)

This presentation gives an outline (proposal) of a series of workshops for a planned weekend creative thinking organized by the student union of Twente University. The underlying idea is, in essence, that the participant(s) of the workshop(s) are set to develop a game in urban space, inspired by their own experiences, aspirations and dreams. The workshops are meant to stimulate alternative (modes of) thought(s) and experience(s), and to train the students in sensibility and communication(s), using various media.

workshop(s) -- game(s) in private & public space(s)

prepare -- act/express/present -- reflect

what was your most recent (un)creative behavior?
what would you like to (un)learn?
what do you think/feel about X?
how do you behave/connect with Y?
where did you hide (y)our dream(s)?
what is your favorite story?
why did you not tell us before?
what is on your mind?
what is under your feet?

goal(s)/dot(s)

the mind meets the body

idea/inspiration(s) -- have fun and play!
prepare -- think of fun/nice/scary issues in private/public space
act/express/present -- sketch in word(s)/drawing(s) an idea for a game
reflect -- with what means do you want to express your idea(s)?
remark(s) -- creative thinking is an antonym, think with (y)our senses!

identity/dream(s)

the mouth feeds the eye

idea/inspiration(s) -- we create identity
prepare -- tell who you are, and why you want to be here
act/express/present -- draw (y)ourself and (the/selected) other(s)
reflect -- who are you in relation to others?
remark(s) -- you may use word(s)/tag(s) in drawing(s)!

orientation/plan(s)

the mind fills the space

idea/inspiration(s) -- stephania's (arte povera) installation
prepare -- what symbols/signs/words have (y)our interest?
act/express/present -- place (representative) paper(s)/object(s) in space
reflect -- what does the constellation(s) tell you?
remark(s) -- see representation(s) of meaning as object(s)!

exploration/move(s)

the feet direct the brain

idea/inspiration(s) -- random walk(s)/encounter(s) in urban space
prepare -- set out the space, and plan a route to see things and meet people
act/express/present -- leave a (visible) trail of your presence & encounter(s)
reflect -- who did you meet, what did you do?
remark(s) -- think of how the (shared) token(s) may help you to (re)construct (y)our story!

navigation/game(s)

the eye navigates the body

idea/inspiration(s) -- essentially hide & seek, with a flavor of ad(s)
prepare -- reconstruct (y)our trail(s) in space with attractor(s) and seductor(s)
act/express/present -- reinforce attractor(s) with acts and (visual) performance(s)
reflect -- how did you select (y)our group(s)?
remark(s) -- think how (human) flocking behavior is influenced by sign(s) & symbol(s)!

presentation/find(s)

the hand feels the mind

idea/inspiration(s) -- idea & experience mining, also using objet(s) trouvee
prepare -- (re)consider (y)our material(s), that is sign(s), symbol(s) & image(s)
act/express/present -- find proper material(s) to articulate (y)our find(s)
reflect -- what is (the aesthetics of) (y)our message?
remark(s) -- in essence this is an exercise in style, matching form & content

communication/play(s)

the feet connect the hands

idea/inspiration(s) -- collect & combine (y)our collective idea(s)
prepare -- negotiate with (y)our group(s) to share material(s)
act/express/present -- organize (y)our material(s) in space
reflect -- what is common/different in ideas(s)/material(s)?
remark(s) -- remind that idea(s)/material(s) need not be uniform to allow for superposition(s)/combination(s)!

reflection/design(s)

the mind seeks the mouth

idea/inspiration(s) -- (re)grouping after (brain)storm(s)
prepare -- discuss what shall be the theme(s) of (y)our game
act/express/present -- make/act trailer(s) of (y)our game
reflect -- does the trailer reflect (y)our experience(s)?
remark(s) -- (y)our personal/collective learning must be (re)presented (adequately)!

realization/game(s)

the senses come to mind

idea/inspiration(s) -- ambient screen(s)
prepare -- collect (y)our material(s) and set up (the) workflow(s)
act/express/present -- create storyboard(s), scenario(s) & game mechanic(s)
reflect -- how do we evaluate (y)our game(s)?
remark(s) -- although the focus is on process, the creative act(s)/process needs tangible/sensible expression(s)!

exercise(s) -- personality & team building

workshop(s) -- try/exercise(s)

mind meets mind

idea/inspiration(s) -- we create identity
prepare -- select partner(s) & exercise(s)
