About this Event
What if in the future, cathedrals were also observatories? What would it be like to grow up alongside an AI pal that knew you like a soulmate?
The Long View Project – a creative experiment envisioning possible, positive futures – invites you to participate in a one-day, intensive script-writing workshop to explore questions like this and create a 10-minute audio scene [story, picture, vision, drama] of the future.
In this low-risk, high-energy workshop, you will meet other creatives, enjoy delicious snacks, receive feedback from theatre faculty and gain experience in imaginative storytelling.
It works like this: We’ll provide a prompt. You’ll write and revise. By the end of the day, you’ll leave with a script for a 10-minute audio drama depicting a scene or story from a potential future.
At the conclusion of the workshop, we’ll select one script to produce. If chosen, your script will be professionally edited, and you’ll be invited back with your cast to record your script. The finished audio will then be featured in “How Did We Get Here?,” a new series of podcasts and live shows that challenge experts to contemplate the plausibility of out-there futures, produced by University Theatre, the Climate and Sustainability Academy’s Long View Project, and the University Libraries. All participants will receive proper attribution.
No one can know the future. But anyone can imagine it. And we’d love you to imagine it with us!
