Join RSC Interdisciplinary Fellow Scarlett Kim in a work-in-progress roleplaying game that gamifies the journey of an artist navigating the emotional, social, and systemic realities of creative life. Blending mechanics from table-top role-playing games, live-action role-playing, and immersive theatre, Company invites each player to determine the fate of their artist body-double.
During this playtest session, participants will be invited to try out in-progress game mechanics and contribute to the development process of this megagame. Game mechanics include building your artist avatar, navigating the social terrain of creative life, and trading a currency mined from emotion.
Scarlett Kim is a creative director and producer innovating the intersection of live performance and immersive technology. A polymath, Scarlett creates participatory experiences that reimagine liveness, drawing upon theatre, XR, game, and ritual.
