OPEN INTENTION LAB presented by JADED

This is a “writing” workshop about how to live and play with intention. Drawing from Paul Peng’s conceptual drawing show Intentions and riffing off Pittsburgh Sound Preserve’s Open Improvisation Lab, OPEN INTENTION LAB is a re-dis-orientation guide for the chronically improvisational.

In this workshop, Elina Zhang and Jenna Peng will lead participants in a series of writing & anti-disciplinary exercises that veer equal parts existential and playful. OIL (not to be confused with OIL) asks: Can we expand our understanding of “intention” to be not just what we are building toward? Can we in turn expand our understanding of “improvisation” to be more than the holding off of the former dreadful question? We are intent on integrating this understanding in our creative and non-creative lives.
