Design a Sensational Event is an interactive creative workshop that inspires you to live your creative process fully by stimulating you and your audience’s senses. You will begin to sense and create a new relationship you might want to have with creativity and ultimately your audiences. In this workshop you will work individually through some creative development exercises and match up in teams to ‘speed’ create an event starting from some basic seeds. i.e. similar to what you might receive in a creative brief from a client.  The workshop is informative, active and takes you through a process that can open your eyes and hearts to what is important (steps, tools, and senses) when creating an event. Come and Play!!!
