Workshop: Serious Lego Play Screenwriting

Using a ‘hands-on’ process, Lego Serious Play activates parts of the brain that encourage creativity and new thinking. Previously used in a business context the methodology has been used to help teams find innovative and imaginative solutions to problems from workplace culture to developing brand identity. Exploring ideas through metaphor and visual aids, participants will access fresh ideas and avoid negative mindsets.

Ted Wilkes has used the methodology to great success in a screenwriting context to assist students in developing ideas from their inception through to the rewriting stage. The workshop would allow participants to explore their ideas through a novel medium and have them find solutions to plot holes, character arcs and missing acts through the power of play.
