SUMMARY:Our Adoption Project: Conversations- Talkaoke Host Training
DESCRIPTION:We are collaborating with Our Adoption Project: adoptee-led\, multidisciplinary arts exhibition Soft Inheritance that aims to explore adoption. By making a space for reflection\, storytelling\, and creative perspectives\, we aim to challenge traditional narratives surrounding adoption\, which often distil lived experiences into shorthand. As an adoptee-led project\, we believe that work engaging with adoption can examine themes of family and identity beyond the conventional framing. \nOur Adoption Project: Conversations- Talkaoke Host Training\nTake the mic and learn how to host with The People Speak and their conversation station – Talkaoke. Talkaoke is a live\, television-style talk show format developed by The People Speak art collective from East London. \nThe conversation is a creative medium and a journey from one unexpected subject to another. It can be topical\, funny\, deep\, surreal\, or something else. The participants generate the subjects and the host in the middle keeps everybody engaged. \nLearn a set of skills that turn out to be useful everywhere: \n\nhow to ask a better question?\nhow to hold space for someone whose view you disagree with?\nhow to keep a live\, unpredictable conversation from falling apart?\nhow to actually listen instead of just waiting for your turn to speak?\n\nIt’s free. No experience required\, no particular background expected. Just curiosity. \nBook your free slot via this link. \nTrainee hosts are also invited to stick around for snacks and then a live Talkaoke into the evening from 6pm-9pm (optional) \n  \n
