Gemini & Scorpio Loft - 267 Douglass St, 3rd Floor
ADA Accessible. Ring bell for entry!

What if we threw a party for you to tell your idea to a room full of friends and strangers? And for just five minutes we asked them to listen to you and you asked them for specific feedback. Oh and it’s also a potluck.

Feedback is an Open Platform style event that solicits presenters, accountability buddies, interactive workshops, casual DJ’s and potluck mavens who are all committed to a full day of exchanging ideas and nourishing the community. Don’t expect a full day of lectures--there will be plenty of break out time to shmooze, check in and dance it up. Sign up today to select your role or just RSVP to attend, but remember “Art is not a spectator sport"

Presenter: Commit to presenting your idea on a small stage, with access to a microphone and a projector. You’re encouraged to bring your own accountability buddy (or have us assign a random one to you!) who will help you prepare your presentation in the week prior to the event. You’ll have 3-5 minutes on stage and you can request specific feedback about your idea. And then you’re done!

Workshop Facilitator: Want to bring a small group of people together in order to facilitate the exchange of ideas in a unique and engaging way? This one's for you! Workshops should last no more than 15 minutes and should engage 2-7 people at a time. Please be prepared to run your workshop for at least 90 minutes

Accountability Buddy: Gently remind your Presenter or Workshop Facilitator about the timeline for a first draft, provide initial feedback and encouragement up until the big (small) moment. Check in with them afterwards about the feedback received.

Potluck Maven: Bring the yummy. Nourishing mains, sides, desserts and beverages will be encouraged from any and all willing to participate. Bonus points for those who can help ensure good menu signage for sensitive eaters and keep the potluck space sanitary and tidy. Soliciting feedback on your dish is encouraged but not required.

Casual DJ: We’re seeking just a few 30 minute sets of music to fill in the spaces around the ideas. We’d love a range from ambient brain food to sick-ass-get-downs.
