Take Part /// M5 /// Summer 2008 /// Thesis Workshop

Take Part is an improvisational, structured activity that I designed in the second term of my master's thesis. My objective was to design a system of interaction, to facilitate self-discovery between friends. The result was scripted, non-linear narrative, for two players, facilitated by one fold-out script card for each character and one colored die.
