- This is an exploration of play and the importance as we become adults. Play is key to enjoyment and can be beneficial in many different ways.
Mallory Nezam (Founder of STL Improv Anywhere) instigates unexpected creative interactions in public space. Nezam chooses to place art and play in the context of public space to disrupt routine and reconnect passerby with the magic of being alive. Interested in the experiential and bodily, her work does not point at the thing but becomes the thing and invites to audience to take active part. Nezam believes that collectively performing creative expressions in public builds a sense of connection between citizens and ownership of place.

"Yes, it is nonsense, but it's important nonsense!" Amen. Keep playing - such a crucial reminder. Thanks!
I never stopped playing, and after seeing this, I never plan to! Mallory, I'd love to have someone like you as a friend. You are cool!
This is also why cosplay is important. You feel so free to run around with other fans, and be totally accepted. Even if it's just for one day. I never feel as open and in the moment as I am at events.
what is Cosplay?
Thanks for reaching out to the world and teaching people about the power of play!
Can you add a link to the research you mention?
Great talk! The world needs more play :)
Thanks, Ellis! I'm so glad you agree. Obviously I do. Are there ways in which you can bring more play into your own work, or personal life?! Love it.
Brilliant 👏
