Monday, Oct 26th, 14:30-17:00 CET This workshop aims to analyze different notions of gender and sexuality through the art of drag. Particular emphasis will be placed on the aspect of drag make-up and the transformation from male to female. During this process, topics such as gender, sexuality, culture and ethnicity will be discussed while participants follow along and try to transform themselves and explore their own perceptions of gender as well as how this relates to identity and relationships of power connected to it.

Thursday, Oct 29th, 09:00 - 09:45 CET How much of your fear is only in your head? How many of your perceptions about yourself are mind made and has nothing to do with who you really are? This workshop will explore Predictive Processing, arguably known as one of the most basic functions of neural computations with prediction errors driving brain processes and behavior. We will go through a journey to observe, explore and optimize our self being, looking at personal development from a holistic and regenerative point of view

Part 1: Friday, Oct 30th, 15:00-18:00 CET How do we recognize true leadership in a world of pretend politics? Bounded by existing power structures and constantly flooded by a televised display of transactional arrogance, how do we avoid mistaking weakness for strength? Can leaders be openly vulnerable? Do they exercise their Power based on fear, or charm? How do we relate to people close to us, and what can we do to navigate the trappings of Relative Status? Can we use it for a Greater Good? In this performative workshop, we delve into notions related to Power and Strength. We will be looking at the effects of your attitude and behaviour, and the effects that it has on others and your relating to one another. The mentor, Andrew Hefler, is a brilliant beast with thirty years of experience as a theatre director, actor, performer, trainer, you name it. This will be useful to everyone eager to try improvisation and exploratory, performative tools.
Part 2: Monday 2nd November 09:00-12:00 PowerPlay with improvisational theatre, and means of translating PURPOSE into ACTION - useful in life ;) - as well as in projects involving podcasts, script writing, radio dramas, video performances, interviews, or live-streamed videos.

Monday, Nov 2nd, 14:30-17:30 CET Inclusive design seeks to involve underrepresented voices in the design process with the aim of designing better solutions for everyone. In this session, you’ll confront your own biases and experiment with some of our inclusive design tools to welcome more perspectives into your design process. You’ll go home with a new mindset about the value of designing inclusively, and some tools to embed inclusive design into your projects.
What will be covered: 1. A brief intro into inclusive design and why we think it’s important
2. Two interactive sessions using Idean’s Inclusive Design tools
3. Reflections and wrapping up

Tuesday, Nov 3rd, 09:00-12:00 CET & Wednesday, Nov 4th, 09:00-12:00 CET Deep dive into creating short form video content thru mixed-media synesthesia! Sharing industry insights in how to make "cool shit” for clients! And exploring a variety of animation/ footage treatment techniques using some of our analog & digital workflows!
Part 1: Photogrammetry We will learn how to create 3D models of existing real objects we will find around us. By taking pictures of these objects with a phone and thanks to the software Agisoft, we will be able to teleport objects from the real world straight into the virtual one.
Part 2: Rapid Prototyping Rapid prototyping and iterative design is key to nail the message we’re trying to communicate. By quickly putting ideas out there we’ll be able to test and improve ideas/projects on the fly.

Tuesday, Nov 12th, 14:00-17:00 CET Deep dive into creating short form video content thru mixed-media synesthesia! Sharing industry insights in how to make "cool shit” for clients! And exploring a variety of animation/ footage treatment techniques using some of our analog & digital workflows!
The Workshop: We will take a piecemeal approach to visual activism! A movement begins with an individual walk and then a protest occurs when a group of people meet up and walk together!
With that in mind, each student will create and experiment with their own interpretation of a walk! Can be an animation of any style or any sort of filmed footage treatment! After everyone submits, we will then take all the individual walks and have them all come together as parts of a larger group movement video!
Software Used: Adobe AfterEffects, Premiere, Photoshop
Bonus Tools: Access to printer, scanner, paper & doodle instruments (i.e. markers, colored pencils, watercolors, acrylic paints, choose your own adventure)

Thursday, Nov 5th, 14:30-17:30 CET & Wednesday, Nov 11th, 13:00-16:00 CET The workshop aims to guide through Augmented Reality realm showing augmented narratives and the potential held in this medium. The building of storytelling is going towards an evocative direction distancing from the classical plot-oriented narrative. The switch, from a timeline based content structure to real-time environments, require a deconstruction of our content tools (written information, image, sound etc.). Practical ways of application will be examined and discussed. The lecture is a theoretical part that encourages to think and /design AR narratives and experiences.
Part 1: Spark AR On Instagram Filters building. Focus on the key steps of the workflow Student Instructions. Learning Outcomes: The workshops aim to provide the basic methodology and the technical instruments needed for the creation and production of an Augmented experience.
Part 2: AFrame On AR web-based building framework. Focus on the key steps of the workflow ⁃ 3D preparation for AR ⁃ Basic animation ⁃ Web repositories ⁃ Coding structure Student Instructions.

Monday, Nov 9th, 14:00-17:00 CET & Tuesday, Nov 10th, 14:00-17:00 CET How do we design the sound?
Analyzing and understanding the meaning of sounds through their nature. Removing meanings from sounds hiding their source. Giving sounds new meanings. Organizing them and understand how to express a narrative potential through a structure. Designing what we want the audience to hear. Catching sounds and digitally manipulate them in order to create what has been designed.
Starting from digital audio’s basics, a journey through recording and manipulation of sound using the computer.
Hardware used: *Portable recorders equipped with microphone(s) (like the Zoom h2n), laptops, headphones (the better the quality, the better the result!)
*If a portable recorder is not available per each group of students, there will be no problem, we can record sounds with smartphones (for which some free apps - like Voice Record Pro - will be required)

Thursday, Nov 5th, 09:00-12:00 CET & Friday, Nov 6th, 09:00-12:00 CET We’ll dive into , a platform that gives users the possibility to create and share three-dimensional participative virtual environments that can be visited and changed by anybody with a browser, an internet connection and a link to a space. We’ll specifically focus on experimenting with the creation of spaces to develop immersive narratives
