Welcome to KREATIV UNTAPPED #1 – Storytelling Untapped w/ Ben Sauer
A hands-on session. No slides. Just your stories.
We couldn't be more excited to tap into this with you at Thoughtworks Berlin. Follow us on LinkedIn and Instagram.
KREATIV UNTAPPED is a creative playground born in Berlin — and we're kicking off with the discipline that sits at the heart of every other one: storytelling.
Because here's what AI can't replace: the human desire to create. Creativity is what makes us uniquely human — it's a muscle, and like any muscle, it needs training. Most of us have stopped.
KREATIV UNTAPPED is where we change that — through hands-on sessions with working practitioners across visual arts, tactile crafts, narrative & sound, and spatial & performative disciplines.
This evening is about words, voice, and presence. In a world full of decks, dashboards and screens, we've forgotten how to just… tell a story. This evening is a practice in putting the slides away and using the oldest tools we have — your voice, your hands, your story.
Expect a short provocation from Ben, a hands-on session with a sketching element to flex that creative muscle, a round of group sharing, and time to actually meet the people in the room.
Who's this for? Anyone with a story to tell — and the willingness to tell it without a slide deck.
No job title. No prior experience. Just the willingness to tap in.
Creativity untapped. Connection for real.
