How does this event work?
We’re turning traditional speed dating upside down — well, not exactly upside down. Maybe sideways. Or at least, nudging it a little in a funny way. Instead of speed talking your way through 10 or more potential partners, you’ll be participating in 10 or more activities – activities we’re calling creative. Nothing that would make you incredibly self-conscious, and nothing that will require more than 30% of your concentration. The activities are designed to improve your interaction with a potential partner by giving you a common, interesting project. Make conversation as you select an item from our costume bin or collaborate on writing a ghost story. Don’t like a particular station? No problem — you’ll be leaving it in five minutes for a more interesting one! Like the person you sculpted push pots with? Great! Mark his/her name on your card and at the end of the night, we’ll tally the results. You’ll receive an email from us a few days later with a way to get in touch with all your new dates.
Make the most of five minutes. Make connections with interesting local singles while interacting in fun, creative ways.
