Give & Take - where happy hour meets show & tell
We're excited to introduce you to Give & Take, a new monthly event series produced by Solutions Twin Cities and co-presented with Intermedia Arts.
Give & Take subverts the traditional short-format presentation model that says information has to flow one way - from the presenter to the audience. We do this by asking everybody in attendance, presenters and audience, two questions:
1) What do you know about?
2) What do you want to know about?
This makes Give & Take a vehicle for spurring new connections, conversations, and relationships within a community under the guise of a single, simple event.
Our goal is to create a welcoming, participatory, and effervescent environment in which unexpected connections can happen between members of the audience/community, and people with hidden talents, fascinations, and expertise can be invited onto the stage; revealing matches and overlaps in what people know and what they want to know, and -in doing so- create stronger interstitial bonds within the community.
We believe that the more our audience connects with one another, the more it becomes a community in and of itself, and a community defined by sharing passion, energy, and creativity is a powerful thing.
We hope to see you there!
