In Residency

By Lizzie Stark
Players: 10-16
Genre: Longform, Nordic
For
residents at the elite artists’ colony, Brython represents the chance to live
full time as their most secret selves, ignoring everything but their sacred
drive to elevate the soul through art. The rest of the year they may hustle to
make ends meet as part-time artists and full time teachers, PR scions, copy
editors and grant writers, but here they live as sculptors, composers, and
writers. By day, they make art in the beautiful surroundings of a fully staffed
mansion, transforming their dark pasts into beauty. By night, they live in a
fishbowl of observation and unresolved sexual tension. Will they overcome
impostor syndrome to work on the projects they said they would? Will their
off-colony relationships survive? Or will it all degenerate into a Bacchanalia?
This
American Freeform game explores the tension between making art and talking
about it, and within the social structures that arise in a claustrophobic
social milieu. It also considers the relationship between trauma and art.
This
game features a workshop, a debrief, and a rules-light gaming experience aimed
at producing emotional immersion, and will use metatechniques such as
player-controlled monologues and fateplay.
