EXQUISITE STORIES

THE HEAD, THE BODY, THE BOTTOM BIT.

The Beginning, The Middle, The End.

Exquisite corpse is a game played by surrealists in the 1920s and it is a great device for collaboration and lateral thinking. Playable Streets uses this game as a leaping off point to create an interactive installation that allows the public to use the drawings of children to create new characters with real voices! Through a series of workshops we develop new characters and new narratives from the depths of children's imagination. We record the voices of the students to bring their work to life.

Workshops

Playable Streets are also able to facilitate Exquisite Stories Workshops! With the help of our dynamic and entertaining artists, participants are able to explore their creativity and upload their own designs to Playable Web where their work can be viewed from all over the world!
