In a physical character workshop, we'll spend some time training various parts of the body, working on strengthening awareness of the various body parts and their movement capabilities. This work can also include image work, expanding movement vocabulary by using the imagination. We then move on to building a character by placing the character's dominant energy in a specific area of the body, and trying out different images to find a character's tempo, rhythm, shape, and voice.

This lecture will present a model for structuring the process of organising a larp in a number of phases, each with its own characteristics, challenges and advantages.

The model is a collaboration between Kåre M. Kjær and Morten Lahrmann, who both have a background in modern industrial management and have been active larpers and organisers on the Danish scene since respectively 2000 and 2001.

Description
GR is an experiment in game design using fiat as a means of oppression and experimenting with playing violent and nasty situations. The game focuses on the mechanics of a gang rape situation, the actual act, and to some extent the lead-in and aftermath. The game needs one victim, and two or more rapists. Preferably at least four. The duration of the game varies with the number of rapists, but is generally about one hour, plus de-briefing. Written partially as a comment on the American no-touching-in-larp situation, the game can be played entirely without physical contact if desirable. Don't expect that to make the game less stressful. Expect to use words you seldom use in public, to be required to imagine and speculate about things normally not in your frontal lobe. Don't play this for a laugh. Expect this to be worthwhile but not "fun." Probably not for unstable players. No audience. You either play or stay away.

The idea is that people can make their own videos and communicate with the main character through them.
