Presented by Psychonaut Theatre, this workshop is made for performance-makers at any level who are curious to learn and discover how interactive and technological elements can enrich their performance toolkit.
We will dive straight into exploring various techniques and ideas we have used in our practice, through both interactive games and an open discussion format. We will also have a look at a few current outstanding examples of interactive theatre work and the different mediums that it can manifest. Through the free workshop, we hope you will be equipped with techniques and a greater drive to create and engage with interactive theatre!
This workshop is offered free of charge to artists and performance makers, as part of a wider project supported by Arts Council England. Participants are invited to bring their own work / a laptop.
