The Participatory and Immersive Creation group (PIC) aims to provide a space for IETM members to tackle central issues we have in creating, presenting and producing this genre of work, through open discussions, experience sharing, and creative exchanges.

On Monday 27 September from 16:00 to 18:00 CEST, the PIC September online session will focus on Immersive and Participatory writing: How can we write as/for/about embodied experiences?

The meeting will be led by Henny Dörr who will be joined by the research group Beyond Free Writing. The group collectively develops writing strategies that do away with some pertaining myths about writing. The writing strategies can be explored in exercises and explored as an integral part of the creative making process. There is a strong focus on performativity, collaboration and experience.

In the session, experiences with writing as part of our immersive and participatory creations will be shared, but the main part will consist of a practical exploration of writing strategies.

REGISTER NOW

The session is open to both IETM members and non-members but registration is mandatory.

Facilitator: Henny Dörr

Henny will be joined by the artistic research group Beyond Free Writing (more info below).
