Exquisite Corpse

Exquisite Corpse: A Collaborative Storytelling Experiment
Step into the strange, the playful, and the unexpected.
Exquisite Corpse is a collaborative story-writing event inspired by the surrealist technique where each participant contributes to a story—without knowing what came before. One by one, writers add a sentence or short passage, guided only by a small prompt or the final line they receive. The result is a story no single person could have planned: uncanny, poetic, chaotic, and often hilarious.
This event celebrates spontaneity over perfection, curiosity over control, and collaboration over authorship. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or someone who simply loves stories, Exquisite Corpse invites you to let go of structure and trust the collective imagination.
What to expect:
Writers contribute in sequence, each building blindly on the last fragment
Time-boxed rounds to keep the energy high
Surprising twists, strange connections, and emergent narratives
A final read-through revealing the complete, gloriously unpredictable story
Come ready to write boldly, embrace uncertainty, and watch a story assemble itself, piece by piece; into something wonderfully strange.
