Thinking Bodies - Moving Minds

VINES

Saturday, 16:45-17:45

Whispering Woods


Thinking bodies • moving minds is a talk with workshop elements on the subject of embodied experiences in larp, focusing on how to design for our senses and the way in which we are physically in touch with our surroundings. The talk will consist of a light theoretic background on body-mind philosophy as well as practical advice for how to create meaningful, physical larping experiences.


The main emphasis of the talk will be on physical, abstract larps as a genre, where movement and senses plays a fundamental part in the experience. Some elements and thoughts will still be usable in the design of larps with a narrative or verbal focus.
