This course explores how Live Action Role-Playing Games (LARP) and choreographic practices can be used to re-imagine how we relate, communicate, and navigate difference. It invites students to experiment with embodied and fictional frameworks as tools for rehearsing unfamiliar - or even altered - modes of interaction. Students will engage with two LARPs:

• «Dance with me» explores the notion of support and co-creative play, through the fiction of a dance rehearsal and performance.

• «Family gathering» engages with conflict through the fiction of a family gathering.

​

Building on these experiences, students will collaboratively design their own LARPs and play-test them.
