Changing the Rules

Upstart Theatre exists to provoke honest, playful and inspiring conversations about the biggest challenges which face our society. We use theatre to create connections within and between communities, both in the UK and around the world, and to bring previously unheard voices into the mainstream.

Upstart Theatre

A workshop led by playwright Eve Leigh, offering practical exercises for thinking about rules in gameplay and performance.

"The rules of a game should be transformed by the process of playing, just as the characters should be transformed by their actions within a story."This workshop, aimed at theatremakers with an interest in game design, writing and/or dramaturgy, will offer practical exercises for thinking about rules (spoken and unspoken) in gameplay and ask: when is change possible? What changes us?This workshop will explore:• Building a creative universe with a distinctive set of rules, • What the narrative consequences are when those rules are altered or transformed,• The real-world implications of rules breaking or changing, and how those real-world implications can affect game design.Facilitator Eve Leigh is a writer for performance, working across theatre, games, audio, screen, and digital. Works include Midnight Movie (Royal Court Theatre UK, Berliner Theatertreffen Stückemarkt DE), Words Fail (Coney UK), Movimento/Variations (36 Monkeys/National Theatre Festival BG), The Curtain (Young Vic Taking Part UK). Commissions include Royal Shakespeare Company, Audible, National Theatre Connections.
