A unique Sunday Brunch served with arts & crafts and a dash of creative play.
We are currently developing a pilot events program to be run in partnership with the Newlands NECCHi neighbourhood house in Coburg, Victoria, Australia. Rose and Mack are heading up this initiative but are keen to get a variety of co-facilitators to join the crew and make this a diverse and expansive program.
Playful Creative: Same event, Different locations
The pilot program that we are trialling at Newlands NECCHi is protocol for an event that can be held in different locations and also hosted by various/different MOMA crews. We aim to make this Wiki page a repository of all the information and resources that you need to get started hosting your own Playful Creative, along with the Discord communication channel.
What is Playful Creative?
Playful Creative is a fun social event. It is part of an evolving community arts project that incorporates
- game-making & playing
- story-telling
- art making & art sharing
- creative digital simulation
The MOMA Crew provides an ND/Queer friendly space that welcomes allies, families and friends. People of ages, genders, cultures & ethnic background are respected and encouraged to participate. Children should be accompanied by a responsible adult please.
Our immersive community arts space is founded on the philosophies of 'art as a spiritual practice' and 'arts activism' (Artivism). As Loretta Monetta, Chief Curator at MOMA says, "You are never too young too be validated as an artist - and never too old to claim this as your birthright". You don't need any special skills or equipment to participate, just a willingness to playfully explore your own creativity. We provide materials & facilitation for group activities. However, if you have skills, ideas, materials & techniques that you are keen to share, go for it! Playful Creative runs on mutual aid and skill sharing - you are welcome to propose activities and ideas to add to the program.
PROGRAM FORMAT
Starting at 10am, Group activities and workshops will be facilitated in the first hour - these will vary from event to event. We intend to cover a broad range of arts & crafts, creative modalities and forms. You can also bring along your own projects if you like. There's lots of space and we want to keep it fun and relatively informal (it's a social event, not an educational course).
Refreshments and chat: There's a break at 11 for a cuppa and a feed. Please consider bringing a plate of food to share if you can. Tea, coffee & biscuits will be provided.
Freestyle: The last hour is not structured, it's a chance to maybe finish off projects already underway, just hang out or try something new.
Wanna be a Volunteer Helper?
At each event we hope to have a team of at least 3 people co-facilitating:
- Facilitator of the Group Activity
- General Support Facilitator
- An Extra Pair of Hands
The first two will generally have been more involved in planning the specific event. They organize the space, publicity and materials before the event; as well as lead & support the activities on the day. The Extra Pair of Hands is someone who can come along on the day with a willingness to help set-up, support the smooth operation of the Playful Creative event and help pack-up afterwards.
If you would like to get involved as a Co-Facilitator, please check out the Schedule of Upcoming Events' below to familiarize yourself with scheduled events and note any vacancies, and then connect with the crew at the Discord communication channel.
