In the Spring 2022 roundtable, we combine the five speakers from this semester together into a panel to get to know more about them and their take on transformative play.
After hearing:
— Lauri Lukka talk about designing events for intensity and personal growth;
— John Stavropoulos talk about designing a culture of safety in games;
— Elektra Diakolambrianou talk about psychotherapy and larp;
— Yeonsoo Julian Kim talk about horror as a vehicle for healing and transformative play; and
— Katrin Geneuss talk about best practices for edu-larp in formal didactic contexts…

…we are now bringing them together to explore transformative play in the past, present, and future.
