The Game is On!

A 10-day training & reasearch on physical games and when, where and how to play them.

The project is aimed at people who work with games in some form (in social, cultural and artistic settings) and wish to explore and develop more.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THIS TRAINING?

As a group we will explore the power of games and their use in various settings. How do they build trust? Solve conflicts? Question ones self? Create a group? Entertain? Connect? Be a tool for sharing? Transforming? Growth? Working through difficult topics? Or simply for fun?

We will play a lot!
We will share a lot. Our knowledge and our thoughts...
We will explore, deconstruct and analyse games of various types: Whats behind the games? What is the structure of a game? What is play?
We will learn and practice leading games.
We will eventually create and customise our own games for various situations.

The training sessions will be lead by the two trainers. Find out more about the trainers here! There will be also free time to do whatever together (there a 3 kajaks, lots of bikes and a beautifull surrounding with hills, lakes and cliffs to climb). We have space for guests, sleeping in tents on GutAlaune (www.gutalaune.de) – the space where we will live and work together. To share the workload, like cleaning and helping the cook and we will divide these tasks among ouselves.

THE LOCATION

The project will happen from 2nd (arrival) to 13th of june (departure) at GutAlaune just outside of Halle (Saale) Germany next to the river Saale. It's a project and living space just outside the city that we're setting up since the beginning of 2016 – so some stuff is a little improvised. Check out the video of a 2017 circus training at the venue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyBQA_us0mg&t=292s

Sleeping will be in your own tents so please bring tents, sleeping bags, isolation mats and whatever you need to feel comfy outdoors. If you have trouble arranging this or you can't fit it in your luggage contact us ahead of time. We have a hang out space in case of bad weather, but we hope to be mostly outside. There is a outside kitchen and lounge area, outside showers and toilets and there is a river right infront the space as well to cool down from the heat of the training. We will have a cook preparing delicious vegetarian meals for us and will divide tasks to help with cutting, cleaning, the dishes and such.

Important note: We don't have enough WIFI here for big groups – so make sure you have roaming or get a german Sim Card with internet if you want to stay connected.
