<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">This also reminds me of another session at an open space event in Bristol I ran from one of the members of the performance company "Lone Twin" which was a very simple naive picture of a sailing boat.. The session was actually about their next project which is an event where they are inviting people from different places in Norway (I think) to arrive at one place bringing objects and materials with them and from whatever people bring they are going to build a boat! What was interesting was that lots of people came to the session drawn by the picture not by words... nice :)<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Phelim<DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>On 10 Jun 2007, at 19:18, Christy Lee-Engel wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite">Phelim, I laughed out loud when I read this (and when my 12-year old son asked, what's so funny? and I explained what you'd written, he thought it was funny, too) -- so your colleague's simple conscious interjection of fun and delight into an aspect of the event (and it does seem like Open Spaces provide ample opportunity for fun and funniness and delight as a matter of course) continues to bubble and fizz beyond the event itself. Of course I especially love the prospect of picking out of a bag a space that didn't actually exist!
