Are you a creator whose participants would rather squirm in silence than take a risk out loud? Sounds like it’s time for you to check into the Cringe Clinic! Designed for artists, facilitators, and immersive creators, this session invites you to bring your own projects, characters, or activation ideas, and together we’ll explore ways to support participants who hesitate to take action or be seen. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll share our toolbox of guided awkwardness and playful tactics for flipping the script on shame. The things we find cringe reveal a lot about us—our fears, our desires, our masks, and our wounds. Cringe isn’t just discomfort—it’s diagnostic data. So bring your baggage. Leave your dignity. Let’s get weird… and make spaces where others can, too.
This session invites playful engagement with social discomfort, embarrassment, and personal cringe. Participation may include standing, light movement, or being witnessed by others—but you’ll never be forced to share or perform. Come as you are, take what you need, and get awkward at your own pace.
