Designer, educator, and play expert Cas Holman shares insights from her newly released book, “Playful: How Play Shifts Our Thinking, Inspires Connection, and Sparks Creativity,” at The Church in Sag Harbor on Friday, November 14, at 6 PM. Holman is joined in conversation by the visual artist Liz Collins, whose colorful, textile-based works and installations often reflect notions of play and connectivity. Following the discussion, the dynamic duo invites attendees to a spirited Q&A as well as a book signing.
Drawing on psychology, history, art, and design, “Playful” makes the case for the vital necessity of play in our lives and its essential importance to adults’ mental health, creativity, and problem-solving skills. The book weaves together inspiring stories and eye-opening research into the emerging science of play.
