Inge-Mette Petersen, Body and Soul. Our identities and souls are formed by our bodies and people's perceptions of them--so what happens when we suddenly inhabit a new body, a new character and persona? What if those bodies experience pain? Can LARP unite mind and body? Can it transform who we are?
Nór Hernø, on meta reflections and direct and indirect methods of encouraging these in players.
