Workshop | Creative Workshop: Play


This activity-based course engages with the concept of open-ended play and the imagination as a generative more tool. It is based on the conviction that play is a necessary part of life and that we don’t do enough of it. We sacrifice play on a daily basis in pursuit of work and ambitions, stress, life maintenance. As such the course looks at the philosophies of Dewey, Pierce, Gardner, Waldorf, Amish forms of play, Steiner, et al. We’ll also look at the pedagogy of play and kinder-garden [“children’s garden”] where play and nature combine into learning. During class sessions, participants will engage in activities that question the role of play. less
