I’m so excited to share my Body Games series of workshops this summer in Toronto, with Dames Making Games! The first is wearable electronics and the second is embodied non-competitive games! Here’s the workshop series description: Body Games – Our Bodies, Our Games a workshop series by micha cárdenas Does the identity and embodiment of the game designer matter? Does the identity and style of embodiment of the player matter? How can we use these parts of ourselves to design better, more compelling, more transformative games for social justice? This workshop series by micha cárdenas, presented by Dames Making Games Toronto, will look at games we can play where our bodies characteristics are central game mechanics. How can we create a capture the flag game that is anti-colonial? Or a game of Tag that will help end sexual violence? Or a game of hide-and-go-seek that would challenge trans-misogyny? Or a game that challenges ableism by relying on disabled players unique capabilities in order to win?
