Camp Now Play This!
Emily Koonce
Saturday 6 April, 2-4pm
Sunday 7 April, 12-2pm
This workshop consists of folk games centred around developing connections between one another. Participants will introduce themselves, play a series of folk games chosen to build trust and intimacy within a play community, and discuss what their experiences were like within that mode of playing. The act of play is as important an event as the game itself.
Drawing on Emily’s expertise from conducting the “Theater Games for Game Designers” project, this workshop is intended to not only introduce these folk games but also to highlight their potential to bring people together, illuminate their transformative power, and offer a platform for participants to reflect on their personal gaming experiences and how games can serve as mediums for sharing and examining personal values.
