STEAMhouse, 4 Belmont Row, Birmingham B4 7RQ
A perfomative, participatory workshop where you’ll disrupt your inner chatter, embrace failure and explore what it means to be extraordinary
What’s a STEAM Lab?
STEAM Labs are highly experimental collaborative workshops where participants work through a STEAM process that impels them to think about the development of projects, products, and services in completely new ways. Every STEAM Lab is different but each one is underpinned by our five guiding principles: conversation, exploration, collaboration, openness and newness.
What’s this one all about?
This STEAM Lab is about discovering what extraordinary means, and what it means to be extraordinary. Participants will explore performance as a way to disrupt their ‘inner chatter’ and enable action. Participants will be encouraged to embrace failure and apply degrees of change, enabling them to become their own architects of possibility.
Who is Al Gurr and what does he do?
Al is an experienced session musician who has worked with artists such as Alfie Boe, alongside this he is a Lecturer in Music Technology at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and has travelled the world delivering training programmes that use performance metaphors for development and engagement.
What will happen during the STEAM Lab?
Through conversation and performance participants will explore the difference between mindset, attitude and behaviours, challenge their perceptions of possibility, build confidence in failing and explore what extraordinary means to them.
Who’s it for?
This STEAM Lab is for anyone who is curious to explore how their inner chatter shapes their experiences and attitudes and wants to embrace change with openness and curiosity.
What will I get out of it?
This is up to you to define! You’ll get a deeper understanding of your inner chatter and how you might apply degrees of change to unlock infinite possibilities.
