By Arjen | Published: May 3, 2013

Recent­ly I trav­eled to Nor­way. Not because they still had snow there, but because Knutepunkt 2013 was in the land of lakes, fjords and good fish. Knutepunkt is an event that is host­ed every year in a dif­fer­ent Nordic coun­try and serves as a get-togeth­­er for the Nordic larp scene, full of talks, work­shops, dis­cus­sions […]

Looking back on playful Tweetakt 2011

By Kars | Published: May 6, 2011

I’ve just uploaded a set of pho­tos tak­en at the open­ing of the play­ful Twee­t­akt 2011 exhi­bi­tion. As you may recall, I was asked to curate an inter­ac­tive addi­tion to this youth the­atre fes­ti­val. The works I select­ed are in my opin­ion all won­der­ful exam­ples of the way play can lead to per­for­mance. Each was […]

By Kars | Published: May 18, 2010

These are sketch­es from a pre­sen­ta­tion that I deliv­ered a while back to a room full of orga­niz­ers of cul­tur­al events and cre­ative agen­cies from Utrecht. This was the cul­mi­na­tion of a study com­mis­sioned by the city of Utrecht, in which we looked at ways of adding play­ful ele­ments to the pro­grams of some of […]

What do you get when you cross a game with an opera?

By Kars | Published: March 9, 2010

I’ve just added a write-up to the project sec­tion. It’s about Mega Mon­ster Bat­tle Are­na; a cross between a game and an opera com­mis­sioned by Dario Fo, which we were involved with at the start of last year.
