Fringe Festival

---------------

The official Imagine if… Fringe Festival is still underway, with events from around the world. Take a look at the full agenda for the Fringe Festival here.


About Imagine if...

Imagine if… is inspired by Sir Ken's observation that what separates us out from other life on earth is our power of imagination – the power to bring things to mind that are not present to our senses. It is this power of imagination that allows us to create the world in which we live, as well as to recreate it. The week-long celebration will hero creativity around the world, showcase the best of what humankind has to offer, celebrate the diversity of our talents, and honour the key themes that were woven throughout Sir Ken’s life work. It will also give us, his global community, an opportunity to come together to mark his passing and commit to continuing his legacy together. This event, organised by Sir Ken's team at Nevergrey, will be the first in an annual festival of human potential taking place on the week of his birthday for years to come.


Join Imagine If...

Sir Ken wrote that “we don’t live in the world as other creature’s do, we create the worlds that we live in.” One of the great tragedies of his death is that there has never been a more important time for this message. We find ourselves at a shared crossroads as we collectively try to navigate one of the most turbulent periods in living history.


Sir Ken advised that in our effort to “return to normal” we should be re-evaluating what type of normal we want to return to. This theme will be at the core of the event, as we invite one and all to re-imagine the aspects of our lives that we take for granted by finishing the sentence “Imagine if…”


We hope that you can join us for an incredible festival that will pull together the global community that is passionate about keeping Sir Ken’s message alive. Together we can continue the work that he started and that changed the lives of so many.

Here at the DTEA, many of us knew Sir Ken, or were inspired by him. Some of us have put the following video together to highlight what he meant to us, and the work we share with him.
