New Voices in Art

Players: 10-25
Genre: Aspiring artists
New
Voices in Art is Scandinavian-style LARP about ambition, ambivalence and about
feeling alone in the world. We will be using contemporary art to symbolise our
yearning for success and fulfilment as creative individuals, and explore themes
related to that through play. This is a low-plot, high-immersion game. The
scene of the LARP is an informal party for the participating artists in the
prestigious exhibition New Voices in Art, on the evening before the opening
day. The scenography consists of pieces of art. You will be playing an
alternate version of yourself. The extent of the differences between your
regular self and the LARP version is largely up to you, but there are certain
rules: You are an aspiring contemporary artist, or an art scene hangabout. You
are not personally familiar with any of the other participants, as you may be
in real life. You have never even heard of LARP. Apart from that, you are free
to make this version of yourself as alike or different from your everyday self
as you see fit. At first players will be assigned an art piece and a sentence
describing your feelings about your piece. Before play begins you will be given
time to look at your piece, so that you might figure out why you have made, and
why you feel the way you do about it. Hangabout players will be given a
sentence describing their motivation for attending the party.
