Play 01
Camilla Wordie || Serious Play
Play feels too often neglected despite its obvious significance in building creative businesses. Relegated to childhood, art school, the start up phase or ‘just when I get some time’. So in this gathering of conversations, we will explore the purpose of play and the practicality of play and how we keep it at the forefront even when the cash flow forecasts, the product plan, social media and your staff are all clamouring for your attention.
Looking at different creative disciplines, enterprises and personalities, I hope that you will find yourself encouraged and challenged to remember that play is in fact a very serious business.

In this episode we are joined by Camilla Wordie. Camilla is an art director and stylist. She works with food to make composition that defy the ordinary. Balance, colour, story, angles and degrees, the perfect prop all combine to great effect. Anything that makes you pause, look again, draw closer and revisit in your mind is a triumph as far as I am concerned and that’s what Camilla’s work offers. It is seriously playful and playfully serious.
I am looking forward to asking Camilla about her practice, the role of play in her work, the interaction of minimalism and play and how we can all be just a little more playful.
“I like to persuade my clients to leave the last third of the day for play.”
