Female Narratives and Why We Should Play Them – Siri Sandqvist

What is a female narrative and how do you make it playable and interesting? Can historical gender roles ever be anything else than blocking the flow? And most importantly why should I as a larp designer design larps centred around female narratives?

Siri Sandquist is a larper and a larp designer that has been active as an organizer since 2014. Her larps are often centred around gender issues such as It’s a Man’s World (2015) or Winson Green Prison (2016) and she takes a special interest in larps about female experience through her upcoming larp projects, Suffragette, about the movement for female vote in 1912, and “The One Without Sin” a larp she is organizing with the co writers of this talk, Alma Elofsson and Rosalind Göthberg, about the witch trials of Sweden in 1669.

1942: Representing History – Tor Kjetil Edland

1942 was a larp made in the tradition of 360 degrees illusion. In his talk Tor Kjetil Edland will give some examples of what this meant for the experience of the participants and how the larp related to factual history and our connection to this history.

Tor Kjetil Edland is a larp- and scenario-writer who has been the organiser of larps such as Mad about the Boy, Just a Little Lovin’, KoiKoi and 1942 and freeform and blackbox scenarios such as Limbo, New Voices in Art, Say a Little Prayer and House of Cravings.
