Expect a relaxed, practical atmosphere, plenty of space to explore ideas through making, & some conversation around how our brains, bodies, & creativity all connect.
Tickets here:
www.quayarts.org/event/succes...
We’ll talk about how failure can be a quiet teacher, how a neurodivergent perspective sometimes struggles with failure but can offer fresh ways of seeing, making, & responding.
What if failure wasn’t something to avoid, but something to work with?
An active, hands-on session, exploring how getting things ‘wrong’ can open unexpected creative doors & how that process could be especially meaningful for those of us who experience & engage with the world a little differently.
