Celebrating Crowdversations on Screen

Sergio López Figueroa, founder and director of Big Bang Lab in collaboration with his friends is presenting the projection of independent films to trigger open debates and conversations around innovation, culture, creativity and social change.   Hosted by Dreamstake at Club Workspace in Clerkenwell Workshops, this is a new format of experiential network event to explore new thinking and sharing ideas and experiences by showing a number of creative projects with the commonplace of social change. 

WHAT IS THE SOUND OF CHANGE? This last Big Bang Night of the year is a celebration of co-creativity and leadership for change!. To celebrate the first series of BIG BANG NIGHT events in 2011 and the fantastic support provided by Dreamstake in this venture, we will be showing a short video of our last crowdversations followed by a Balloon Orchestra Workshop! We all hear about collaboration, change and co-creation, but what is your experience of change and co-creation? Tonight we use balloons to trigger crowdversations!

WHAT IS THIS BIG BANG NIGHT ALL ABOUT?  

Experience a tester of BOW, the  Balloon Orchestra Workshop at Clerkenwell Workshops and share with us a CROWDVERSATION on CO-CREATIVITY, through an exploration on collective music making using balloons as your instrument and group interaction to make things happen. Clerkenwell workshops is your interface! We will finish the night with amazing group performances, shared experiences, followed by drinks and informal networking night!

BOW is an action learning package on leadership, communication, team building and visionary creative thinking. Are you ready to step out of your comfort zone and embrace chaos and complexity in a simple and interactive experience?  Are you ready to lead the change?

The Balloon Orchestra Workshop (BOW) is designed to take you out of your comfort zone and promote a culture of change in organisations looking for participatory business models. The full training package is designed to help entrepreneurs, businesses, organisations and think tanks to implement a culture of change.
