New Voices in Art
Posted by chambergames under Larp, Roleplaying | Tags: Larp, Roleplaying, scenario |
New Voices in Art is a chamber game about about a group of aspiring artist the night before the opening of the exhibition ‘New Voices in Art’. The participants play a version of themselves as aspiring artists. The main themes of this game are ambition, ambivalence and aloneness. The world of modern art is used as a setting to symbolize our yearning for success and fulfillment as creative individuals. To produce this game you need a space that will function as the gallery in the game and as many pieces of art as there are participants playing artists. All information necessary for running this game can be found in the downloadable PDF file.
Created by Tor Kjetil Edland, Arvid Falch and Erling Rognli
An ingame article has been written about New Voices in Art in the fanzine Imagonem

Had the pleasure of playing this small larp half a year ago. It created a beautiful drama around a random bunch of social and emotinal misfits; the artists. The simple method and setting made the players responcible for the drama, and we fuelled it with ease.
Both this and the larp “13 at the table” build upon the same “principles of ease” as my own games “Autumn of Life” and “Be calm, the plane is crashing” and “Stoke - Birmingham 0-0″ (the last one may be had for free, in English, at Nørvegian Style). I believe so strongly in the qualities of these principles that I have planned two series of 9 games each on it.
