Programme Outline:
It doesn’t get any more live than this! Interactive theatre blurs the line between actor and audience by involving everyone in action-based, “theatre of life” events. Explore together with us this powerful, hybrid art form merges the concepts such as: role play, improvised theatre, & interactive simulation which ultimately creates theatre’s version of “virtual reality”.

This two-month course culminates in a workshop performance which will literally take Interactive Theatre into people’s living rooms in the month of October this year.

Attendance is compulsory for all classes, intensives and workshop performances. Punctuality is a must!
