Christoph Kaindel was one of the founders of Ariochs Erben, the first Live Action Roleplay association in Austria, in 1989. He has embodied zombies in many LARPs and in various situations, including rising from a shallow grave. Christoph was employed as action coordinator in several theatrical productions and as zombie movement coach for a few movie projects in schools. In 2010 he wrote and co-directed (with Gen Seto) the mockumentary short „Zombieversum“. He works as a media educator for the Wiener Bildungsserver.
Zombie is just a state of mind
FROG 2024 – Talk
When the Zombie Apocalypse arrives, it will be of vital importance to move unrecognized among the Walking Dead. In this short hands-on workshop you will acquire all the necessary skills to survive in an undead-infested environment. We will focus on mimicking the classic slow zombie, or “Romero zombie”, as the most common variant. After getting into the zombie mindset, or lack thereof, we will practice zombie facial expressions (aka RZF), zombie posture, the zombie shuffle and the zombie groan. Finally we will combine all this and move together mindlessly as a zombie horde, driven only by unquenchable hunger.
