Free Workshops
In the time remaining after the guided workshops people can spontaneously gather to work on an idea or concept that they've brought or developed during the first days. The idea can be about a performance piece or an interactive installation. The first results of such spontaneous work should be presented either at the Wednesday evening performance or on Thursday afternoon in the OpenLaboratory. Spontaneous workshops will be listed here when they have assembled.
