JUNE 13th & 20th!
Everywhere, there is a growing interest in crafting compelling worlds that people wish they could inhabit. From tabletop roleplaying games, to series fandom, virtual reality, brand activations and more, people are excited at the opportunity to experience living in a world that is different from our own. “Playing pretend” is a natural human impulse that we often lose the opportunities for as we get older, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
🌍In this two day workshop, participants will work together to imagine and build their own worlds, and create ways for other people to experience what it’s like to live in them. This workshop is also an opportunity for artists interested in immersive and participatory work to explore new tools and methods, and practice what they already know.
🤝co-created and led by Applied Mechanics, leaders in the immersive theatre movement, and a cornerstone of the Philadelphia performance community; as well as Obvious Agency, one of Philadelphia’s premier playable theatre companies 💋
