a few interactive theatre links

A minor link-dump of companies and performances I’ve been mentioning in lectures and workshops over the last few weeks:
- The Neo-Futurists: Chicago-based company, regularly staging new work but probably best known for Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind - 30 plays in 60 minutes.
- Who Wants to Be? - an audience-led interactive show created by London-based company The People Speak. Applied drama students take note:
- Superstruct - the massively-multiplayer collaborative performance forecasting the world in 2019.
Did you know that in the ‘Ask the Audience’ bit of the TV game show ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionnaire‘, the audience is right 98.9% of the time? ‘Who Wants to Be’ was born when we realised that if the audience could set the questions, as well as giving the answers, and and making up the rules - we’d have a recipe for social change.
