About

In October 2016, I embarked on a practice based PhD at the University of Kent. At the forefront of my research is a consideration of Larp as artist practice, thus presenting itself as a new voice in participatory art. Over the coming three years, my aim is to offer an escape route from the dead-end created by the diametrically opposed readings of socially engaged art held by  critics. 

My research will be partially demonstrated through staging larps, and by adopting an ethnographic reflection format, which seeks to capture and quantify larp experience.My work seeks to draw on and reflect on my new home town of Margate, and will realised through staging establishing a larp community, staging public performances and through the exhibition of moving image, larp-scripts, objects after the fact.

This journal will serve as a reflective account of my experiences participating and running larps and associated works.
