Games

16h00

We play games with people to set up a different set of opportunities for learning and communication.  Straight discussion can only get you so far and it’s deadly if that’s all you do.  Games can establish trust, demonstrate particular points or sometimes just fail badly.

Rupesh is a master of games and madness, the team ‘back pocket’. He and Namita had us pushing one another around the room, whizzing about making mini-documentaries and other hi-jinks, sometimes on 5 minutes notice.

In PV the games are used to find out about film making and facilitation.  Much more effective than description and instruction (even with diagrams and a smile), and a good preparation for lots of active doing with a bit of pressure attached.
