Join Evolution of Story III: Having a Larp to explore immersive storytelling, liveness, and community through larp. Engage with leading voices on June 17, 2025.
We are excited to announce the CfP for Evolution of Story III: Having a Larp: Immersion, Liveness, and the Qualities of Experience.
Announcing the publication of a special issue of Media Practice and Education, titled “Unravelling the Hero’s Journey”.
Author C.P. Nield argues that the Hero’s Journey is a Hollywood McMyth and is to partly to blame for the rise of moral relativism in the movie world.
Is what makes a storytelling experience immersive the ‘agency of imagination’? Is the ‘passive’ vs ‘active’ debate really a straightforward question and/or distinction?
The Evolution of Story is a one-day symposium – dedicated tom unravelling the hero’s journey and exploring new modalities for story.
Unravelling the Hero’s Journey: A Call for Contributions for an edited book by Alison Norrington (Story Central) & Dr Roy Hanney (Solent University)
Our third panel for the Evolution of Story symposium is intended as a ‘live case study’ for the Arts Council Funded transmedia story experience Cursed City – Dark Tide.
On this panel, Alison Norrington and Prof. Lincoln Geraghty will be discussing how and why audiences want to be part of something, to live the story.
