a and a

"a and a" is a series of generative story workshops each developed to adapt to a specific audience and topic. The stories have blanks to be filled in by the participants in order to create their own wonderful narrative. All based on Clara's Master research of "How can generated short story workshops be used as a method to express and deal with an issue?"

"I am using animals to teach men" La Fontaine, 1668
"I am using workshops to teach creativity to all" Clara, 2022

We believe that at a certain age creative activities such as drawing and writing are skills and not forms of play and expression. Many leave them behind with the excuse of not being skilled enough to use these "skills". The generative workshops Clara developed aim to forget this notion and help people relearn their potential. Anyone can write and draw. And anyone should be given the opportunity to use that to express themselves.

a project by Clara Gradel

Clara has a passion for story telling and is always exploring new interactive formats. Her graduation work is still ongoing and just starting. She aims to develop this project further and keep creating new workshops.

how to generate a story

This was the kickstart of this project and was used to develop the concept and idea further. There was no theme other than trying to figure out what was necessary in order to get people to generate a short story. The workshop took place in Leeszaal, in Rotterdam, on the 11th of October 2021 and it was split up into 3 short 10min workshops. The challenge was the short amount of time but that was also the tool used to get people not to overthink about the story they were creating. The participants of each workshop had to pick a piece of paper that contained a thing they had to use in their story. For the first workshop the participants picked characters as a set variable, for the second workshop it was a location and for the third workshop it was an object. This workshop was a great first step in order to understand the dynamic of creating a story and the amount of guidance required.
