The Improbable Theatre Company, with support from Romy Shovelton and myself, are making the invitation. We are now at the point where we are inviting others to get involved in planning for the event. Here is the letter from Matilda at Improbable describing what is happening next:

Opening space in the UK for WOSONOS 2012 London
How will we make it happen? Do you want to be part of it?
Dear All,
In May of this year, at the close of the Berlin WOSONOS,
we made an invitation, which was accepted for WOSONOS 2012 to take place in
London, for the first time. It will be the 20th World Open Space on Open Space
since they first started in the States back in 1982.
While it was Matilda that made the actual invite, it came
on behalf of the whole of Improbable, and with the support of the other U.K.
facilitators present – Romy Shovelton and Jon Harvey.
First a brief bit about Improbable, for those of you that
don’t know:
Improbable create theatre, opera, site-specific work and
since 2005, Open Space events for the arts community and others, both in the UK
and throughout Europe and the States. The company’s research into and
application of Open Space has broadened our reach and purpose, developing an
approach to grappling with complex issues that has not only caught the
imagination of the arts community but has also had a huge and very significant
influence on Improbable’s working practices as a whole. We now use Open Space
to run our company meetings and to create our theatre shows. You can look at
other Improbable things at www.improbable.co.uk.
After the Berlin WOSONOS, Matilda and Phelim (from
Improbable) met with Jon and Romy, and together we decided we wanted to use
Open Space to help us facilitate the coming together of a UK WOSONOS 2012 host
team. We want to ensure that anyone in the UK that wants to participate is able
to do so. We see this is as a fantastic opportunity for UK OS facilitators,
practitioners and participants to meet one another and connect.
There are many different areas to be considered in
hosting a WOSONOS and so numerous different kinds of skills and roles are
required: websites to be designed and run; venues and accommodation to be
found; food to be planned; social events to be cooked up, and more…Please come
and contribute your ideas, passions, thoughts, concerns, dreams, questions. All
are welcome.
We will meet on the weekend of November 6th and 7th to
open space for a day and a half on our question: WOSONOS 2012 London UK: How
will we make it happen? Do you want to be part of it?
As yet we do not have a venue confirmed but please save
the date and the full details of place, time and Saturday night social will
follow ASAP. On Saturday the day will run from 11am till 6pm, and on Sunday
from 10am to 1pm.
We very much look forward to seeing you there.
From all at Improbable together with Jon and Romy
So - would you like to come along and take part? For the moment, all you need to do is make the date in your diary. More information will be forthcoming soon. If you wish, you can email me and I will send you further information when it is available. See you there...?
UPDATE!
