Beginning

The creatures awaken and discover themselves. They have a living, breathing body. They slowly start to move around and explore. They can feel the floor, themselves and the world around them, however foreign. They can hear, themselves breathing, the sounds of the space, the vocalizations of other creatures present. They can make sounds, but only a limited set of vocalizations that comes instinctively. They may be able to smell things at times. But sight is something they could never conceive of.

They are awakened by the Guardians who guide their development and protect them. They are comforted by them and trust them to guide, but they must learn and explore for themselves.

Long Description

Beginning explores the experience of coming into a world and exploring it for the first time. The beginning of a creature’s existence, where the world and others are unknown. This exploration will be primarily through touch and hearing as the participants play the creatures. Participants will wear blindfolds for the majority of the event.

The larp will begin with workshops to prepare for play, which includes safety rules and tools and preparation for playing the creature. This should be about 60 minutes.

After a break and with the help of the guardians, participants will come into existence as a creature and explore the world. Increasingly over time the creatures will be able to explore more, find new things and other creatures. GMs fill the role of guardians, watching for everyone’s safety and guiding the larp. This roleplay will be paced in stages and last for about 90 minutes.
