Description
In summer 2015, with the support of a CARS Faculty and Librarian Research Grant, I traveled to London and New York City to research immersive theatre. Immersive theatre is a mode of performance in which audience members do not merely sit and watch a production, but become a part of it, as spectator-characters in the piece. Immersive techniques can range from an audience sharing space with actors, to individual audience members performing moments with actors in complete environments that engage all five senses. In spring 2016, students in BSU’s Theatre and Dance Department devised An Awfully Big Adventure, based on Peter Pan and the life of J.M. Barrie. This is the first time BSU students have explored this type of theatre. After a presentation about this work we will share a bit of the show with you as you travel to lunch. If an actor approaches you, please accept the invitation to An Awfully Big Adventure!
