Collective story-telling
COMICS JAM
Avant-Garde Bar, Ottawa
Feb 28, 2006
“The Comics Jam is an opportunity for people to share the creative powers of imagination and to have in their hands, a tangible product of this process, by the end of the night. It’s a new kind of group activity where participants get together to create an illustrated story born from the collective consciousness they share. On a large sketchbook, one person produces a panel, introducing a character and a situation. Once finished their drawing and scripting, they hand-over the story to the next participant, who can then add more characters and plot twists, until each person has completed one panel and the story has reached its final climax. The results vary from the wild and crazy to the wickedly funny! This activity requires minimal logistical support and the only materials needed are a large sketchbook, provided by AOE, and drawing implements, supplied by the participants themselves. After the Jam is over, each story can be auctioned off to generate more funds for the next Jam.”

speaking of this…maybe you should check out wordjamm.com
create a short story with another friend via e-mail.
it’s rugged in it’s beginnings but plans are in place (time permitting) to build on it and take the concept to the next level. i would love to hear any feedback you might have to make the process better.
kind regards.
