Time isn’t neutral. It’s cultural. It’s political. And it can be designed.
Week 01 PDF Module: TIME — Social (readable, practical)
Time Design Kit: a downloadable worksheet you can reuse on every project
Exercises + prompts for teams, classrooms, rehearsal rooms, and producers
A resource list (quick videos + nerd out references)
A clear next step into Week 02: Time as Device (time as dramaturgy)
You’ll learn how different “times” operate in the same room — schedule-time, moment-time, lived-time — and how that shapes attention, behaviour, group cohesion, and audience experience. You’ll finish with a tool you can apply immediately to a current or future project.
Creative Tools Lab is written by Dr Mik Allen, a cultural anthropologist (PhD) and performance maker with 30+ years in the creative industries. It’s built from a hybrid practice: academic rigour + real-world making. The point isn’t theory for theory’s sake — it’s giving you better handles for designing culture on purpose.
