I've always wanted to do a "Sleep No More"- style performance but that will be impossible until a vaccine happens. However, I've been brainstorming ways to do social media plays either via facebook or creating a production instagram that people could follow or view the story. The journey could be expanded to last, be done weekly, or so many possibilities.
Concerns:
1) Creating material is probably more logical (though it could be really cool to get permission to do something like Crucible or Antigone in this format)
2) Curating it could be quite a task (safety and access, etc.)
3) Getting content filmed and edited to look as professional as possible
Exciting bits:
1) Could be super modern and really cool experience
2) Could be collaborative with people across the country (you're students in VA could theoretically interact with my students in GA)
3) Creating new content with students that matters to them

Subject: Immersive Theatre for HS?
Anyone ever produce anything that was immersive with high school? I am specifically thinking of shows where audiences see different parts of the show at different times and in different orders. I've heard of plays where this happens live, with audiences in groups going to different rooms, but I'm wondering if there is something that can be done here in a virtual format, since that is seeming more and more likely for our fall production. Anyone have thoughts or suggestions?
