Gaming
I run and play in tabletop role-playing games. I have experience in Dungeons and Dragons (3.5 and 5e), numerous Powered by the Apocalypse systems, The Quiet Year, Lancer, 10 Candles, Lasers and Feelings (and its many hacks), a healthy heaping of Grant Howitt one-pagers, and more.
What does any of this have to do with theatre and performance-making? TTRPGs are collaborative storytelling. They’re improv games, but with occasional math. They’re writing exercises. They’re acting experience even for people who don’t consider themselves to be actors. I love running and playing TTRPGs, and I consider them to be part of my artistic practice!
I’ve also designed a couple one-page RPGs for easy pick-up games. Check out my beta for “Dude, Did We Save the World Last Night?” - a game about hangovers and heroics,; and stay tuned for “Dating Game of Doom,” which is pretty much what it says on the tin. Illustrations for both by E.K. Engler.
