Recent proliferation of participatory performance forms has prompted debate on the agency of participants. Consideration of agential potential must go beyond the enactment of the work, however, to assess how participatory experiences can be self-documented and how such records may inform artistic pedagogy. Through discussion of a creative learning project on live action role-play design, facilitated by the author in 2018, pedagogy is reconceived as a curatorial practice that provides frameworks for co-creative learning. Self-documentations of play experiences can, subsequently, be understood as gifts that extend the agency of participants, calling for reciprocal responses from new generations of players.
