We’ll be running two introductory sessions to give people the chance to explore Emergent Game before they start to play.

Both are based in Birmingham, UK and both are free, drop-in sessions:

Workshop 1:
Monday 2nd of June
Rooty’s at the Custard Factory
Drop in between 4.30 and 7pm

Workshop 2:
Friday 6th of June
BCU Fine Art Department, Margaret St, City Centre (behind BM&AG)
Drop in between 2 and 4pm

We’ll be bringing a sack full of soft toys and an assortment of stuff for getting you started on their customisation. You’re invited to come along and take part either by modifying a toy and/or by joining us in devising and testing different street games that can be played with these toys, your mobile phone and a nearby internet connection… (You can switch between these two main activities as you please.)

This will be a great opportunity for you to catch up on what’s been happening in the game so far and, for those already playing, a chance to have a sneaky pop at influencing what might be included in The Game (which starts during the New Generation Arts Festival, 6th - 20th June) DON’T BRING YOUR EXISTING AVATARS!

All are welcome: you don’t need any specialist knowledge or skills, but a good sense of fun is essential.
