Focus Inside: 360 - the Night of Storytelling
Event Information
Description
Focus Inside is a unique pop-up event that explores our relationships with our devices and how they are changing us. The project is supported by Westminster Council and Create Church Street Fund and is part of Focus Inside mindful tech festival (see more info and full program at www.focus-inside.com/program).
Storytelling has been traditionally considered one of the most bonding activities for humans. Can anyone tell a story?
Absolutely! In this workshop, a prepared crowd of people who can also be joined by spontaneous partakers are allocated 6 minutes each to talk about whatever they like. Dare to talk about everything, from fun anecdotes to philosophical thought to life experiences, personal secrets, illnesses you suffer etc. Forget to have a mobile phone to look at, sit and LISTEN. Presented by Jesse Wolpert, a creative technologist who makes darkly comedic contraptions, and art curator Katja Rosenberg (ArtCatcher).
