Yesterday I held a lecture about Nordic Larp. Here you can watch the presentation and my collections of links for further watching, reading and of course also playing.
The lecture was held at the Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts for the course Cross-media – from storytelling to distribution, organized by Jo Rydberg Lidén and Mirko Lempert. The class was great with a lot of really good questions and it was also quite challenging since I needed to do it in English.
Here you can watch the lecture. I have cut out a part in the beginning where we played a short larp in the classroom.
Watch and download the slides here.
