IMPROVISED ABSTRACT STRATEGY GAME

The Improvised Abstract Strategy Game (IASG) is a concept and methodology being developed by Darragh which involves framing performance and human interaction as a abstract strategy game in which players make ‘moves’ against each other. An exploration of abstract action and thinking as a way to deepen our understanding of the underlying mechanics of performance. On the surface IASGN appears to be a strange type of ‘rule-less’ board game, however it has strong connections a huge array of human interactions such as: dance, conversation, theatre, music, architecture, combat, language, zen philosophy…

IASG is current being imagined as a free to download handbook which frames the creation process as a game.
