“Be” All That “You” Can Be

This is for you. Yeah, you: the one who always got “great potential” in your parent-teacher evaluations. And possibly, “could try harder.” Well, what have you done with yourself? Have you been thinking, lately, that you should try harder to actualize your potential? If it hasn’t completely evaporated by now. Maybe your window of opportunity has slowly slid closed while you’ve been slacking your way through the 21st century. Maybe doing something about it has all seemed a bit hopeless.
No worries, you haven’t missed out. You can fake it.
And to help you with that, now there is a LARP (live action role-playing game) in which you can role-play — yourself. Level 5 Worldwide LLC invites you to come to one of its 3-day game-inars in which you act out actualization. It’s not reenacting because you haven’t actualized anything yet, hahaha! And actually you don’t need to play yourself, you have the option of playing one of your avatars. The game designers say that the experience works with the concept of “bleed,” in which your character’s thoughts and emotions might “bleed over” into your own, presumably real, ones. And vice versa. Call it method-acting for the stage that is all the virtual world.
Play-acted potential with plausible deniability can be yours if you act now. Fees apply, space is limited. So what are you waiting for?
Warning: participants may experience occasional yoga.
