In this four-part workshop, participants will look at techniques that come into play when script-writing for immersive theater, trying out ways to convey narrative, thematic, and dramatic action while simultaneously creating invitations for audience participation.

Creating scripts and scenes for immersive/experiential performance is, in some ways, a fundamentally different endeavor than writing for more traditional stage or screen projects. Explore the questions and considerations that arise when creating coherent, compelling scripted material without a fourth wall.
