Simon Brind discusses concepts of Agency and Alibi in the creation of Larp and their connections to creating meaningful experiences for participants.
In this talk he explores ‘Agency’ – the ability of an active participant in a story to make decisions that change the story in meaningful ways (and what that means for dramaturgy), ‘Alibi’ ‘- the idea that the participant experience can be designed in such a way that they can act or behave in ways that they would not normally act and ‘Bleed’ – the transfer of experience from participant to character or from character to participant.
This talk was recorded at the Immersive Experience Network Summit in October 2024 and is supported by Arts Council England and our industry partners Illusion Design & Construct, Mance Communications, White Light, Deterministic, Immersif, d&b audiotechnik, Scene2, Little Lion Entertainment, Entourage, and Vista Insurance.
