THOUGHT EXPERIMENT WRITING WORKSHOP: a playful practice to cultivate curiosity

A special event to share the delightful practice of writing thought experiments.

*NB: this event page is just for registering interest. Date, location, and ticket details TBC once I know whether this is something people are interested in*

Here's why I find writing thought experiments valuable.

In a nutshell, writing thought experiments creates opportunities to:

• investigate ideas (old and new)
• work your imagination
• write creatively and playfully
• produce compelling conversation starters that you can share with friends and strangers to provoke great discussions

In this workshop, I'll share my process and together we'll create new thought experiments by:

• Identifying areas of interest
• Gathering ingredients for thought experiments
• Imagining scenarios
• Constructing narratives
• Generating relevant, thought provoking questions
• Participating in a round of small group discussions - you can volunteer your new thought experiment, or if you'd rather, you can pick one out of the hat.

By the end of the evening, we'll have had some great conversations, become familiar with a new method for creative thinking, and written our own original material for future group discussions :-)

Although we’ll be learning a new skill, we'll also be aiming to have an enjoyable evening, with good humour and fun. This will be less like school and more like a great TEiP night out with an additional creative twist.

Who should come:
Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the conversation. This group is not about being experts, it is about thinking creatively together and learning new ways to develop and communicate ideas.

Where we'll meet:
TBC, a pub in Central London.

Looking forward to meeting & talking with you!
Bonny
