Meta-technique

A meta-technique is a loose term encapsulating various rules and narrative tools/practices which are carried out by players rather than characters but still part of the improvisational flow, such as the black box, the monologue, and shadows. The term started gaining in popularity and use in 2007, during the preparatory work with En stilla middag med familjen, and in talks and workshops the following year at Solmukohta 2008.
