[Event] IxDA NYC Aug 7 Bodystorming with Dennis Schleicher

Innovation Made Physical

IxDA NYC is pleased to present two bodystorming workshops with Dennis=20=20
Schleicher on Saturday, August 7th. Bodystorming is a participatory=20=20
method for demonstrating or developing ideas in a physical setting.=20=20=20
Team members will explore ideas and interactions physically, using=20=20
props such as maps or photos to give a sense of place. Come explore=20=20
this unique method for bringing innovate ideas to life!

Bodystorming goes beyond brainstorming by giving an idea a physical=20=20
form and acting it out in different contexts. The process is designed=20=20
to uncover how the relationships between people, locations and things=20=20
affect ideas in ways that written scenarios cannot. It enables rapid=20=20
iteration of ideas and relationships through a dynamic process of=20=20
acting and evaluating. The process reveals how people interact with=20=20
services, products and each other on a physical, emotional and=20=20
intuitive level. You can learn more about bodystorming at Dennis'=20=20
website or his blog.
