In Larp, shared spaces create an ever-expanding magic circle that enables narratives to progress and personal and character journeys to unfold. LARP is both a narrative and social medium whose design is right for our emerging culture of interaction and immersion. While the script in a LARP offers a rich foundation, the creative participant's inventiveness is central to why Larp could extend into other mediums. Larp can broaden into virtual and augmented reality as well as location-based narratives in historical buildings or sites, on streets, and or in nature. Larp’s social and role-play games used in real-world situations have the potential to change our public relationship with power and restore community vitality. Larp can contribute to the changing world because it is responsive to human life's complexity because it is born by living the story, not merely witnessing it.
Opportunities are emerging where new types of venues are becoming available offering the potential to create content in a mix of live with augmented sound and visual medias. The rise of a new kind of location-based narrative design will need a culture of shared journey in a co-created spatial design. Think of the infinite possibilities in heritage sites, cultural institutions, and local streets – a media enhanced spatial narrative could provoke a re-enchantment of the natural world.
