6th - 8th February 2023
IMTAL Workshop/Conference
"From Dusk till Dawn: Persona Development from First Idea to Performance" and AGM 2023
Middelaldercentret, Ved Hamborgskoven 2-4, 4800 Nykøbing Falster - Denmark
The subject of the conference is to jointly develop through lectures and practical exercises first person personas for a murder mystery game at a historical location/museum, from the initial idea through scientific research to the writing of the role, the practical rehearsal and the actual performance. The murder mystery game will be performed together on the last evening in the medieval town and brings participants together for an event in the market town of Sundkøbing where they find themselves at the center of a mysterious murder scene. The main focus is on the learning outcome for potential visitors. The aim is for visitors to understand the historical significance of the historical site/museum and its internal function in an entertaining manner through first-person interpretations within the murder mystery game. After the workshop/conference, the participants of the workshop/conference should be able to independently carry out outcome-oriented first person interpretations for visitors at their historical locations or in museums.
