Is Jazz: Meetup

Events

Event

Tue 30 Sep 18:00-20:00 at Pervasive Media Studio

A monthly meetup 18-30(ish)-year-olds to explore creativity in a low-stakes, supportive and informal way.

Pitch Us a Talk

Every Friday we offer free, informal lunchtime talks from people sharing projects, process, ideas and provocations around pervasive media and creative technology. If you or someone you know should be a part of our programme, contact Martin O'Leary.

Is Jazz is a monthly meet-up for 18–30(ish)-year-olds to share their creative practice and explore others’ ideas in a relaxed, supportive, and informal way.

Run by Make Shift regulars Martin and Anastasia, together with our Make Shift team, each session features a few attendees leading a short (10–15 min) creative exercise — something familiar or something new to try.

Think you might have an exercise to share? Email isjazz.hi@gmail.com. Not sure how to turn your idea into an exercise? We’ll help!

No exercise? No problem — come along, try out what others are sharing, and meet fellow creatives.

Questions? Email Tony Bhajam at tony.b@watershed.co.uk or the Is Jazz team.
