We meet. We wander. We write in silence. We end up somewhere warm with pizza and something to say.
Intertainment is a roaming improvisation workshop for poets, performers, and people who've never called themselves either. Inspired by Stephen Nachmanovitch's Free Play, we use the canal, the industrial estates, the scrubland, and each other as source material.
Each session you receive a small task card with scored writing prompts — Oulipo-style invitations rather than rules. The route is decided by the group on the day. There is no fixed destination, no required experience, and no feedback given in the field.
The shape of the day
2.00pm Meet at HWK courtyard. Task cards distributed. Route chosen together.
2.15pm Wander begins — canal, estates, parkland, wherever the group points.
4.30pm Return. Optional sharing — read something, name something that surprised you.
5.00pm Pizza, drinks, conversation. The discussion is part of the workshop.
What to bring
A notebook. A pen. Layers. Walking shoes. No experience necessary — genuinely.
Accessibility
The route is chosen on the day with access needs in mind. There is always a canal-flat option. Please get in touch before booking if you have specific access requirements and we will do our best to accommodate you.
