Description

Styles of Play: Freeform larp, Larp

Drawing a live human model can sometimes reveal more about you than it does about the subject. In Life Lessons, you will play a student at a weekly life-drawing class, across a series of six lessons. The process of drawing will open up your characters "to themselves, and to each other" and they will share and bond. [Important note: you don't have to be able to draw, or even to be interested in drawing, to take part. Drawing is just a mechanism for approaching the exploration of your character: what you draw during the larp will not be seen by anyone other than yourself, unless you wish it to.]

Content Warnings: Nothing in the design, but participants might introduce disturbing material when designing their characters. (Participants will be encouraged to anonymously request the exclusion of subjects and themes that they personally would rather not have in the larp.)

Mo Holkar (UK): UK larp designer and organizer, increasingly involved in the international scene over the last few years. Interested currently in how the embodied nature of larp means that it can aid meaningful exploration of feelings.

Winner, Best Game Incorporating an Act of Creation
Life Lessons takes place across six life drawing lessons, but it isn't a game about drawing. It's a game about the connection between the act of creation and the social milieu one finds oneself in. Through play our characters - and maybe our players - will open up to one another and learn more about themselves and others. Through a series of short, contemplative scenes and simple structured mechanics, Life Lessons offers a surprisingly immersive experience sure to challenge and delight.
