Exquisite Corpse Stories

Event leaders Jen Pearcy-Edwards and Lesley Greene, co-directors of Story House Ithaca, will lead storytelling games to get everyone’s creative juices flowing. Then we’ll write stories as a group, using Exquisite Corpse, a collaborative, chance-based drawing or writing game invented by Surrealists around 1925, where participants secretly add to a composition on a folded paper. Each person in the group will have two minutes to write a few lines of a story. When the time is up, they will fold the paper down to cover all but the last line of the story and pass it to the person next to them. At the end, we will read all the stories!

This event is part of the Spring Writes! Literary Festival.
