Dan Castro - Plork! Playfulness, work, and all the in-betweens
It’s no big secret that creativity relies heavily on play. And in order to be playful, as Bernard de Koven would put it, we have to “let [our selves] out to play” (2014, p 34-35). We need to adopt a mindset that allows us to approach things creatively, curiously, optimistically. But it’s only too easy to get caught up in the idea that creative work needs to be ‘good’; and in this thought process we forget the very core of what it means to create. We forget how to play.
This workshop introduces Corita Kent’s notion of ‘plork’ – working playfully, or playfully working – (Kent and Steward, 2008) as part of a contemporary toolset for engaging our playful selves; for worrying less and working more. Through two key processes – abstract drawing and rule-setting – we will re-engage with our own playfulness and playful values and ultimately create space for more playful, productive, imaginative practices.
Learn the importance of non-judgemental creative practice, mindfully engage with your playfulness and creativity, write your own ‘plorkful manifesto’, and create a colourful reminder of how to engage your playful creative self.
