Why your team needs a Bad Art workshop.

Work is serious business — until it starts taking itself too seriously. Most teams run on productivity mode for so long that they forget the thing that fuels great work in the first place: play. When people stop giving their brains room to wander, curiosity dries up, communication stiffens, and everyone quietly becomes a slightly more efficient robot, secretly drowning in resentment.

Bad Art Workshops are the antidote. They give teams a chance to shake off perfectionism, make something pointless on purpose, and reconnect — with themselves, each other, and the messy joy that makes humans good at working together.

Under the chaos is real science: mild stress without threat, shared laughter, and quick intuitive decisions all retrain the nervous system to see uncertainty as energy, not danger. The result? Teams that leave lighter, more open, more connected — and (ironically) way more productive.

Because sometimes the best way to get good work done… is to make some bad art first.
