Creative buffet at Brighton Fringe

Just returned from co-creating a 'creative buffet' with Chris at the Critical Incident which is part of the Brighton Festival Fringe events. At last, Otto Scharmer's 'landing strip' was created and our first flight took off. It was really enjoyable- 10 strangers coming together with no set agenda and created a multi-layered series of music, movement and art improvisations. Some people commented to say that the last time they played like that was when they were children. I enjoyed the unknown and unexpected aspect of this type of collaboration- at one point, two people created a mini play which was really funny and at another point, someone was moving in a semi tai chi way and was really beautiful to watch. It was a rich, unexpected and filling buffet!
