GRAT/MIECAT - Group Workshop Two

Last Saturday saw us come together as a group for our second workshop and it was so lovely to catch up with everyone again and get into more arts processes. Different from last time, we started with individual representations then moved through a process of description, collecting keywords, clustering and using the titles as access points to amplify into a group representation of the project!

Phew! No wonder we were all feeling so full by the end of the day.

The hope was to land at a decision around the final end of year group project, and whilst we created and collected a LOT of data and the discussions were rich at the end of the day, many ideas were circling around the room, but not ready to land.

Kim agreed, it was better to let things settle and see what emerged, rather than force some resolution.

Someone asks since "It’s coming out of us, are you able to suggest back to us from what we have come up with today... to come back to group with suggestions? (that have come from you)"

Other key phrases from the end of the session included...
You’ve been well informed
We have got to a place for pause...
Realistically - the next couple of weeks to land
Encapsulating what is ripe and alive. So close
Something will hopefully come
With more information from here
I trust you completely - feel like it’s in good hands
Don't feel the need to be too careful with us

Grab it and run...

And so, as it continues to settle, and I work towards new knowing and endeavour to come back to you all with some more clarity and suggestions, here are some photos of the day...
