Playing the Future

What does the future look like? How do we use science fiction and technology to imagine and play with what could happen days, weeks, years from now? Alongside special guest Brooke Chappell, Drew and Avery explore the bright and hopeful–-or dangerous and despairing—future. From time capsules buried in backyards to Star Trek and the Jetsons, join us as we venture into the world that exists beyond our time!

Playing Fitness and Sports

This month, Avery and Drew get active! From Jazzercise to kung fu, fitness can be a source of play in our daily lives. Sports such as track and field, e-sports, and even minigolf can organize us into beating personal records, cheering each other on, or simply socializing. Join us as we dive headfirst into the empowering and energizing world of fitness and sports!

Playing Traveler and Tourist

What are the ways we playfully venture into the great (for us) unknown? How do we navigate when far from home, and how do we bring far from home to us? This month Avery and Drew are joined by Rose Angulo to explore playing traveler and tourist, making our way to unfamiliar spaces and learning more about others and ourselves! Whether at a tea ceremony in Kyoto, or in tunnels below the city of Rome, we’ll hit the see the sights and make some memories!

Playing Dress Up

This month, Avery and Drew get dressed up! From theatrical costumes to personal style, from school uniforms to superhero transformations, and even dabbling in the spooky and naughty, playing dress up can be a big part of our playful lives. It allows us to alter our appearances for aesthetic purposes, or it might be required to play a certain role. Join us as we explore how what we wear sends messages about power, emotion, culture, group belonging, legacy, or pure personal expression!
