Exquisite Corpse: A Collaborative Storytelling Experiment

Step into the strange, the playful, and the unexpected.

Exquisite Corpse is a collaborative story-writing event inspired by the surrealist technique where each participant contributes to a story—without knowing what came before. One by one, writers add a sentence or short passage, guided only by a small prompt or the final line they receive. The result is a story no single person could have planned: uncanny, poetic, chaotic, and often hilarious.

This event celebrates spontaneity over perfection, curiosity over control, and collaboration over authorship. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or someone who simply loves stories, Exquisite Corpse invites you to let go of structure and trust the collective imagination.
