Switch off those productivity apps, arm yourselves with your favourite stationery, it’s time to play!
In this session, we’ll take a look at writers, artists and scientists who made a concerted effort to goof about. We’ll explore how playing helped to keep their ideas fresh and their creativity sparking.
There’ll also be some playtime for you in the form of some writing-for-the-joy-of-writing exercises. Let’s bring the joy!
