Game: When Our Destinies Meet
Description
A party. A predestined meeting. A web of interlacing stories. We will gather our inspiration from the director, play write and theatre theorist Bertolt Brecht and his acting theory of Verfremdung, Haltung and Gestus, his aesthetics made widely known through the films Dogville and Manderlay by von Trier and his concern with social problems, morality and relationships. 2 hours of black box larping - expect all sorts of meta techniques and shifting perspective as player, director, narrator and audience. Working of a model of larps created by the participants in workshop before play, come ready to hack out some relationships and plots.
This larp will begin at 16:00 in Seminar Room 4, and move to the Colour Box from 17:00 to 19:00.
