Exquisite Corpse

Participate, on or off the playa!

How to play:

A piece of paper is folded into three, four or more sections.
Each player draws or collages either the head, body, legs or feet of a figure (human, or otherwise) without seeing what the other players have drawn. It helps to continue the drawing, just a bit, onto the next section, so that the lines of each section flow seamlessly into each other.
The paper is unfolded to reveal a bizarre creature!

Get together with friends, either on or off the playa, to draw new creatures of your own!

Off Playa participation:

Get together with friends to draw. Collage works great, too!
Start with a piece of paper roughly three times the size of a postcard, so that, when folded into thirds it becomes postcard size (about 12x6")
Send us either a complete, or partially complete drawing. We'll take them to the playa with us, where others will complete unfinished games, or take completed games to mail to others.
If you'd like a drawing sent back to you, from the playa, either address and stamp one of your drawings, or send us postage with your address.

Extra donations of postage are greatly appreciated! Postage will be used by playa visitors who want to mail drawings home to friends not able to join us on the playa.

On the playa, we'll be hosting Exquisite Corpse games at The Culture Labs!

How to participate on the Playa:

Stop by to play a game! Complete a whole drawing or collage with friends, or just complete part of a drawing.
Take a completed drawing as a gift, to mail to an off-playa friend, or for yourself!
