About this Event

Story in Motion: Narrative Design Lab


The Narrative Design Lab invites participants to step into the creative mechanics of storytelling. Using frameworks from narrative design, speculative imagination, and design thinking, this 75-minute workshop explores how story structure, theme, and character choices shape meaning.

Through hands-on exercises, participants will analyze narrative patterns, test speculative frameworks, and prototype their own story experiments. Part learning lab, part creative jam, the session makes the tools of narrative visible, usable, and collaborative.


What to Expect

  • Explore frameworks for analyzing story structure, theme, and character
  • Experiment with short creative exercises to prototype new story ideas
  • Engage with peers in a collaborative, playful workshop space
  • Take home accessible tools for applying narrative design in your own work

This event is for:

  • Artists and performers exploring speculative or experimental practice
  • Community organizers and changemakers interested in storytelling for social futures
  • Writers and creatives curious about narrative as a design tool
