PanoptiCorp 2013 Mini Documentary
Written by
UK based video production company Cosmic Joke has produced a mini documentary about the Danish 2013 re-run of the Norwegian 2003 larp PanoptiCorp.
Here is what they had to say about the video:
PanoptiCorp is originally a Nordic larp from 2003, which was re-imagined in 2013 in Copenhagen, Denmark. It’s a satirical larp about an advertising agency, where players take on the roles of agency employees, pitching ideas to everything from an African dictator wanting an image makeover to an earnest businessman who wants to sell adult diapers. This documentary was produced by Cosmic Joke, as part of their feature length LARP documentary, Treasure Trapped.
For more info on the 2013 run of PanoptiCorp, see the event website:

Nordic Larp Talks: No Training can Replace Experience, or Can it?
Written by
Larp is great in building strange realities, far-away worlds and fantasies unheard of. But can it also be used to recreate authentic situations from real life to enable development workers to not only know about intercultural competence, but maybe even develop it before really coming in touch with a foreign culture?
Stefan Deutsch plays and facilitates larps for nearly 20 years, co-wrote one of Germany’s most controversial larp rules system and was one of the organizers of the MittelPunkt larp conference in Germany. He lives in Germany and Tanzania and works as a consultant for a software company and larp.
