MASH UP 26: Big Ideas, Fast Pitches!
Session 3 sparked fresh ideas — now it’s time to build them.
What a session! We explored childhood memories, responded to image and poetry stimuli, and put our ideas to the test with lively 30-second speed pitches.
Shared Direction
The group landed on an exciting starting point: ‘A collection/MASH up of ordinary lives’.
Our immersive final sharing will guide audiences through a series of unique “Firsts” each with it’s own story to tell.
Next up: Session 4
Monday 26 October, 10.30am–1.30pm at MAHDLO
1. Missed Session 3? Bring an initial idea to pitch.
2. Bring something that sparks your idea — stimulus material could include a piece of music, text, an image, a sound or a prop. – whatever drives your idea forward.
3. Come ready to create, share and move forward together.
Save the dates: 26 October, 9 and 23 November; 4 and 18 January.
Proposed sharing day: Friday 22 January, 10am–4pm at OTW Theatre.
Bring your curiosity. Bring your creativity. Let’s make MASH UP 26 happen!
