Event details

This workshop is part of a postgraduate research project focused on immersive and interactive theatre which invites its audience to play a role. The aim of this workshop is to have fun playing different characters and creating stories collaboratively with other players. In the workshop, you will be playing the same game three times, each with slight variations, culminating in a chaotic display of roleplaying. At the end of the workshop, we will have an informal discussion about the games we played and your experiences of playing them.

Please be aware that this workshop is part of a research project meaning that, subject to your consent, anonymous data will be collected from your involvement in the form of video recordings. You will not be named in any research outputs. Full information will be provided on the day, and the researcher will be available to answer any questions or queries.
