Playing by (and with) the Rules: Revision as Role-Playing Game in the Introductory Creative Writing Classroom

Bundy, Sheryl Lyn

Teaching English in the two-year college, 12/2017, Volume: 45, Issue: 2

Journal Article

Using student poems and reflections collected over several years, the author examines the impact of a role-playing game experience on introductory creative writing students' openness toward taking risks, revising (and improvising) playfully and working with limitations or rules. The role-play uses Lars von Trier's film The Five Obstructions as a model-particularly the diabolical game that unfolds between directors von Trier and Jørgen Leth-and requires students to "remake" a poem of theirs three times according to sets of rules designed specifically for them by the instructor in face-to-face meetings.
