'''Dogma 99 : A programme for the liberation of larp''' is a [[Norway | Norwegian]] larp manifesto published [http://fate.laiv.org/dogme99/ online] in December 1999. It kick-started the [[Age of manifestoes]] and is, alongside [[The Manifesto of the Turku School]], one of the most influential and controversial texts of Nordic larp history. It was authored/edited by [[Lars Wingård]] and [[Eirik Fatland]], the visible heads of a more nebulous [[Dogma 99 collective]].
==Contents==
The name "Dogma 99" and the Vow of Chastity imitated and referenced the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogme_95 Dogme 95 manifesto], which was well-known at the time. Despite the Dogme 95 influence, Dogma 99's philosophical underpinnings were drawn more from Jerzy Grotowskis "Towards a poor theatre", asking the question: "what can be removed from larp without larp ceasing to be larp?".
==Impact of the Philosophy==
The effects of Dogma 99 continue to ripple outward in Nordic style larp. The minimal adoption of mechanics and emphasis on original larp premises have become mainstream. Rejection of symbolic representation (#8. No object shall be used to represent another object) is embraced in [[360 Degrees|360 degree]] larp design.
