The Epic Edge Lab is an experimental research space exploring storytelling - the creative and unstable process at the core of human meaning-making.
Narravity – The Gravity of Meaning
Every writer knows that stories have their own momentum: they unfold in unexpected, often stubborn ways, revealing connections and meanings that were not planned in advance. Like gravity shaping a solar system, narratives seem to have an invisible “pull”, drawing experiences, memories, emotions, and imagination into meaningful narrative structures. This pull exists in fiction as well as in the stories we encounter in everyday life. Through this pull, everything we perceive is organised into inner stories and woven into a wider Narrative Web that shapes how we experience and interpret reality – and ourselves as part of it. In this methodology, this gravitational pull is called Narravity.
Used in a creative Lab, Narravity becomes a research tool for exploring how stories guide interpretation and meaning-making, help imagine speculative scenarios, and, in general, shape our perception of reality.
An evolving collection of Epic publications, workshops, and toolboxes draws inspiration from philosophy, communication theory, neuroscience, sociology, and, above all, creative writing.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you are interested in expanding your perception, decoding the internal logic of the status quo, or using fiction as a laboratory to probe potential futures or systemic dynamics.
