PILOT THOUGHT EXPERIMENT WRITING WORKSHOP: a practice to cultivate curiosity :-)

Over 100 of you have registered your interest in this workshop! This is the pilot :-)

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

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

Over the past 3 years, I've written over 200 thought experiments and learned a lot along the way. Here's a bit more about why I enjoy the practice.

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 thought provoking conversations
• become familiar with a new method for creative thinking
• written our own original material for future group discussions :-)

Although we’ll be learning a new technique 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 fun 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.

Tickets
Space is limited to 15 people and tickets are £15.
I'd like to make this event accessible, so if cost is a barrier, please send me a DM.

Where we'll meet:
The Fitzroy Tavern in Fitzrovia. The nearest Tube stations are Goodge Street and Tottenham Court Road. We'll be upstairs in the Private Dining Room.

Looking forward to meeting & talking with you!
