We had an inspiring day at Furtherfield Commons in Finsbury Park – thanks to everyone who braved the cold to walk, play and talk past, present and future. We learnt about a huge reservoir hidden under a grassy mound and learned more about the path of the New river (opened in 1613!). We discussed and dreamt aloud about potential future additions to the park such as fountains, attractions for birds, labels for trees, a huge lego factory and even a giant trampoline! 

We asked how one could welcome creatures from a parallel universe and agreed a cup of tea might be a good start (it was cold so no wonder we all yearned for something warm). We talked  about fences, boundaries and rules as we meandered guided by the trusted ‘directions’ die. Luckily we had a seven year old to guide us through the numerous play areas, which are otherwise out of bounds for adults – even if they are playful. 

Our next walkshop is on Saturday the 18th (1500-1700)- join us for more exploratory walking and playing.

Find a line to follow and face the future! at Furtherfield in Finsbury Park.

Join us for an interactive ‘live art’ and time-bending walks. Dice will roll, cards will solicit and props will inspire. The walkshop on 5th May will inform the creation of playful prompts for a map and a digital mobile App that will act as provocations for future park users to be tested

Sunday 5th May 2019 at 1430-1630 (to inform the creation of the App)

the 18th May 1500-1700(to test the App)

and launched on 10th August 1000-1700 (drop in anytime to help launch the App – no need to book).

Walkshops are suitable for all ages and abilities. The walkshops on 5th and 18th May will last approximately an hour and will be followed by a reacall and share session where refreshments will be provided. Each walkshop is different so if you’d like to attend more than one – please do.
