XPLORE 2025 – The Second Rehearsal

CONCEPT

The concept of the last xplore – two days of ‘rehearsal’ and then a full day of play party – felt so right that I want to repeat the experience and deepen it. I’m therefore planning the same division of time and space as last year. Again Anna Natt, Andy Buru, Julius Elo, Micha Stella, Sharka and myself will each organise one space and on Sunday all spaces will be open for free play.

The exact programme for Friday and Saturday and the names of other contributors will be compiled and published in the coming weeks.

The entire sunday is dedicated to collective creation and will take place without a predetermined structure or direction. In order to promote the quality of the spaces and interactions, a ‘Collective Code’ – a collection of verbal and non-verbal communication elements – will again be practised with all participants, which should make it easier to establish the basic principles of consensus, collaboration and creativity for all activities.

We are very much looking forward to a second time with you.
