 ==== Future Prehearsals ====
+"Future Preparedness" studies individual and group behaviours in challenging and unpredictable conditions. The case study extends futurist scenario planning with speculative design experiments, improvised role-playing games and meditative practices combined in 'prehearsals' – real life laboratories where future scenarios can be experienced as immersive situations.

+So far for FoAM, the method described in The Art of the Long View by Peter Schwartz seems to be the most appropriate and flexible for our needs. We begin with a question or a challenge, map internal and external influences, rank them based on importance and uncertainty, and from there design four probable scenarios. We then turn the scenarios into narratives and mood-boards and from there create a set of instructions for an improvised prehearsal: a cross-breed between a live action role playing game, an attitude-meditation and a real-life lab.
