You are warmly invited to join us for Evolution of Story III: Having a 
Larp – immersion, liveness and the qualities of experience, a one-day 
international online symposium exploring the cutting edge of immersive 
storytelling through the lens of larp (live action role play).

Date: Tuesday 17 June 2025
Location: Online, hosted via Remo

Website & sign-up:

The event brings together scholars, artists, game designers, and 
theatre-makers to investigate how larp reshapes narrative, liveness, 
agency, and participatory practice. The format combines pre-recorded 
video papers (released in advance on our YouTube channel) with a dynamic 
day of live, interactive sessions hosted on the Remo platform.

Programme highlights include:

•	Filling the Void(space): Participatory Dramaturgies and Community Building
Panel hosted by Katy Naylor (Voidspace) with Jack Aldisert, Tom Black, 
Owen Kingston, and Chloe Mashiter

•	Spontaneity is a Lie (But a Beautiful One)
An Open Space session responding to Simon Brind’s keynote on power, 
emergence, and narrative design in larp

•	What We Leave Behind
An online larp hosted by Dr Adam Jerrett, using ritual and music to 
explore community, memory, and meaning

The event will also launch a forthcoming special issue of Storyworlds: A 
Journal of Narrative Studies (University of Nebraska Press), featuring 
selected contributions from the symposium.

Call to action:

Registration for the event is free, although there will be a small 
charge (approx. £3–£5) to access the Remo platform on the day. A link to 
register and set up your profile will be circulated in advance.
