Make Space for Play Every Day

How much time do you make for play in your day as a grown up? Play has so many benefits to us, and it’s not too late to bring it back!

A workshop and interactive talk with Originary Arts to help us together experiment with how as adults we can make space for play in our every day routines. Nikki Shaill will share her learnings about what play is and can look like to us as adults, before we have a go at a few playful prompts in small groups and solo. Move around the “play stations” to see what styles of play you enjoy the most.

Take part in creative thinking exercises and challenges designed to help us reconnect with our playful side more, in simple ways. Take time to consider your 24 hour routines and identify little ways to inject more fun, play and curiosity back into our busy lives.

Nikki Shaill (she/they) created Originary Arts in 2019 to promote the power of playful creativity for all ages. Based in Brighton, they create participatory events that hope to unlock people’s confidence in their own creative power and inspire imaginations! From festival programming to workshop facilitation, exhibitions to community parades, colour and collaboration and the threads woven through Originary’s work and play. you’ll find them at Tate Lates, in schools, and sometimes inside skips dressed as monsters!
